The image shot at iso 200 offers a better exposure and its easily seen.

This has been such a great lesson for me. Thanks for posting the different scenarios, everyone. I'd like to leave this one open for the rest of the week but, maybe switch it up to do darker images instead of the bright light.

Asignment #2B: Exposure: We had a lot of fun seeing the difference ISO can make in a bright light situation. Let's take some pictures either early in the morning or early evening. Try and make the camera image resemble the actual view by adjusting your camera manually.

Please post a few different options so we can see the difference.

Subject: Sky It can be just the background or it can be the main focus. have fun!

Ok I would have loved to been able to take a great sky picture but our sky has been a washed out blue with no clouds. Not very interesting. So I have gone searching through my photos to see if I had taken anything that would work. Thankfully I did.

I found 2 different sets. These are all straight out of the camera.

The first 2 pictures were taken with my Droid 2 cell phone 4th of July weekend. The way that I got the differences was by pointing at the sky to get auto settings for the lighter features, and then the 2nd was focused on the darkness of the river.

f2.8
1/608 sec
ISO-56

f2.8
1/423
ISO-56


The next two are from my Canon A95. These were taken in 2008 so I am not sure what I did.

f4.9
1/60

f4.9
1/15

I keep looking at the sky and if I see anything interesting I will take a few pics.

im confused with this assignment

 

[tazcat70]

The way that I understood it, and I may be totally off base, is that we are to take pictures and then change something, the shutter speed, the ISO, to change the amount of light that is allowed in the picture. So that we can see what differences the amount of light that is let in makes.

But like what if you cant do that on your camera?

The way I did it was to point the camera at the area that is the brightest. partially push the shutter button, then frame up the picture like I wanted it. Then for the next picture just frame up the picture as you normally would and click the button.

I am not sure if it will work on your camera or not.​
