Shutter Speed Excercise

1/8 @ F22. The motion of the flowing water is unclear and blurry.

1/15 @ F16.

1/30 @ F11. The details in the water are beginning to become clearer and take on the appearance of ice instead of flowing water.

1/60 @ F8.

1/250 @ F4. The water has now taken on the appearance of ice. Viewers can even make out small details and change in color behind the water. The motion has been completely stopped.

F5.6 here. The front bottle is still sharp while the background objects are out of focus.

F8 in this one.

F16 was used in this photo. You can clearly see the background sharpening.

Assignment 1

This is a photo by Lynne Cohen (Untitled 2003 Courtesy of Olga Korper Gallery © 2009 Lynne Cohen). Reasons I feel it's successful include my admiration of grids within imagery, and the high contrast between colors.

Another photo from Lynn Cohen that reflects what I find successful in photography. Along with the contrast and grid pattern, I also work with the term "less is more" in mind often.

I also consider this photograph from Brian Ulrich successful for some of the same reasons. There is also the utilization of text and repetition. (http://notifbutwhen.com/)

This photo from Brian Ulrich combines the concepts of contrast, repetition and text to use. As a student of graphic design, I feel that they are important and successful.
