On this picture, since I have such a wide aperture, most things are blurry. With the wider aperture, I had to increase my shutter speed more which actually makes taking the picture easier because I didn't have to use a tripod or worry about camera shake. The only post-editing I did, was white balance because my colors were a little off.
ISO: 400 f/2.8 shutter speed: 1/640 macro lens
For this picture, I was having a lot of fun using the macro lens. This was taken in the shade, so I put my ISO at 400. With the wide aperture, I had to increase my shutter speed to properly expose the picture. I liked how the green grass pieces showed up, and how part of the flower is in focus, but part is out of focus.
ISO: 400 f/2.8 shutter speed 1/1600 macro lens
Since this picture was also taken at f/2.8, I had to use a fast shutter speed especially since the sun was shining on my feet/shoes. Looking back at my settings, I don't know why I didn't use a lower ISO, but it ended up working out by just having a lot faster shutter speed.
ISO: 100 f/4.0 shutter speed 1/400 28-75mm lens
With this picture having an aperture of 4.0, you get more in focus in the foreground along with the shoes, but the background is still blurry. I still had to use a pretty high shutter speed.
ISO: 400 f/5.6 shutter speed 1/60 28-75mm lens
This picture really helped me get a better understanding of aperture. With my f-stop at 5.6, a lot of the shoes are in focus, but the first pair is not. I had to decrease my shutter speed a little bit more to get the exposure right.
Since this picture is basically the same as the one before, with a smaller aperture, you can see how there is more in focus than the picture before. I kept the same shutter speed, and used a smaller aperture, so I had to increase my ISO so it would be exposed properly.
This project has helped me to understand aperture a lot better. Before doing the project, I thought I already understood it pretty well, but now it makes a lot more since. The last two pictures, I had played around with and took the same picture with 5 different f-stops. Doing that really helped me to comprehend aperture better, because as I changed my f-stop, I also had to change either my shutter speed, ISO or sometimes both. These pictures were taken on several different days, and I had a lot of fun taking them.
