Task 1: Produce a series of three photographs showing the effect of ‘Depth of Field’. Use three different apertures to demonstrate this, for example: f2.8, f8 and f22. Set up your photograph and focus on a point near to you for all three shots, this will insure that the focus remains constant during this project. Remember to alter ‘shutter speed to compensate for aperture change and keep ISO constant

Task 2: Produce a series of three photographs showing the effect of Shutter
Speed’. Use three different shutter speeds to demonstrate this, for example:
½ sec, 60th and 250th. Choose a subject through which you may illustrate
movement and the freezing of this. Remember to alter aperture to
compensate for shutter speed change and keep ISO constant.

Task 3: Produce a series of three photographs showing the effect of lens
‘Focal Length’. Use three different focal lengths on a zoom lens or use three
‘fixed’ focal length lenses, for example a wide angle 28mm, a standard –
50mm or a telephoto 100mm and above. Fill the frame each time to make
the ‘crop’ similar in each shot.

Unit Evaluation Outcome 3 Summative Assessment Name: Patrick Munro Unit: Theory Introduction
Here I will evaluate the images I photographed for Outcome 2 in the theory
unit. In said Outcome there are three tasks. A task to showcase depth of field,
shutter speed and focal length respectively.
Outline
These tasks were set to provide visual representations of a series of
techniques and features. The techniques in question were, Depth of Field,
Shutter Speed and Focal Length. To show the effect of these techniques
three images are taken in series for each technique. For depth of field, an
image on f29, one on f10 and one on f4.5. Thus showing a far depth, mid
depth and short depth. For shutter speed, an image on 250th of a second, 60th
of a second and ¼ of a second. Lastly for focal length the three images were

all focussed on one point and using a zoom lens, change the focal length from
100mm, to 200mm, to 300mm.
Positive Aspects
I believe that my work on task 1 is of a high quality as it shows the intended
technique clearly and brings an interesting composition to the task at the
same time, I have also managed to keep light levels at a near constant
throughout the three images. In task 2 I think I show the purpose of the
technique in a simple and understandable way. On the first image I did do
most substantial editing and made the subject more defined as well as
brighten the subject. In the third task I chose the base of a large structure with
trees framing the bottom half. I believe that these images show the
capabilities of a large variety of focal lengths nearing the long end of the
scale.
Areas for Improvement
I believe that to improve my work on task 1 I should have chosen a more
interesting subject that incorporated more of the space in the photo. In task 2 I
think that the first image should be brighter to match the set, I also think that
the background of the image should be changed to a more typical white
backdrop. In my opinion task 3 would be improved with a more interesting
subject that made the purpose of the task clearer such as a still life set or
anything really with a more than one clear focal point. I believe that most, if
not all of these problems if I had managed my time more efficiently. Giving
myself more time for recces and reshoots would have helped dramatically.
Evaluation of Learning
During this task I wouldn’t say that I learnt anything dramatically new, the task
did however reinforced my knowledge on the subjects which now allows me to

use these techniques in full confidence. I believe that task 2 brought a more
interesting technique to the capturing of the images. This is because I wanted
to photograph the ball bouncing vertically upwards. This required me to set a
timer on the camera and drop the ball onto the surface at a very precise time,
so that the camera would capture it halfway through it bouncing back up again
and not as I was dropping it or after it had bounced out of frame.
