Camera Exposure

Shutter Speed: The amount of times the camera lens opens and closes in a given amount of time. Shutter speed can be used to detect a long sequence of movements into one picture. When the shutter speed is high, the camera will take very clear crisp photographs. When the shutter speed is low, the image has a blurriness that shows the path that the moving thing took.

Aperture: The aperture is the amount of light that the camera allows in the lens. For example, when the camera has a high aperture, there is more light allowed into the picture. This can be used to get a lighter photograph. When there is lower aperture it makes the photo darker, or have less light.

ISO: This pillar of exposure is used to be able to take pictures in the dark. When the ISO is low a lot of light is required. When the ISO is high, little light is needed. This can be useful to take pictures in the dark. When the ISO is high pictures in the dark are easily taken.

Tim Flach photo I like

This photograph by Tim Flach is very interesting. When I first look at this photo, I see the squirting water. It is amazing how a camera can capture such great detail of the water splashing. Also the texture of the elephants trunk makes it seem extremely realistic, almost life like. The way the water disperses in the air in every direction is very well depicted by Flach in this photo. Overall, this photo is very fun and nice to look at because of the interesting point of view it has. Whats adding to this photo is the black background. It contrasts very well. What's taking away from the photo is the dull color of the elephant. To me, it is a bland color that isn't interesting. It shows depth with the shadows and it allows my eyes to travel through the photo.
