Action Photographs

    The multiple shot mode effects the quality of the photo by allowing it to show a moment which would normally not be able to be captured otherwise. The hardest part of taking an action photo was being prepared to take the photo at the time in which the action is occurring.

Contrast

    I created the composition by standing directly between the football field and track. This photo is organic. I put the mode dial on landscape. This is because the subject of the photo takes up a wide range of view and makes up the majority of the photo.

Rule of Thirds

    I chose the subject for this photo because I was attracted by the pinks and whites of the flower. My photo did not come out the way I expected. I was originally only focusing on the larger flower, and didn't notice that there was another smaller flower in the corner of the photo until after it was taken. I used the rule of thirds to enhance my photo by positioning the larger flower in the center column, and the smaller flower is in the third column. I put  my mode dial on portrait mode because I wanted to focus on the color and details of the larger flower and not the surrounding leaves.

Night Portrait

Without Tripod

With Tripod

    The second photo is clearer because the "Aquafina" is more focused and the colors are bolder. You can also see the water droplet pattern on the machine easier and it looks more detailed. The lines appear to be cleaner.

Use of Landscape Mode

   I decided on the subject for my photo because I wanted to have the football goal post in my photo because it was far away so it showed that the photo had a deep depth of focus. I was also intrigued that I could see both the football field and track from the angle in which I was standing. I was not very happy with the outcome of my photo because it was not focused enough and looks pixelated.
   

Landscape versus Portrait

Landscape

     Landscape mode changes the photo by putting the subject and the background in focus. The subjects, Mahawa and Kelsey, are clear, along with the tree and structure behind them, making the entire photo look detailed and vibrant.

Portrait

    Portrait mode changes the photo by focusing on only the subjects, and blurring the tree and structure in the background. This makes the subject the focal point of the photo and directs the eyes towards it.

    A time where landscape mode would be a better choice than portrait mode is when photographing a scenic subject, such as mountains or an ocean. This is because there is no principal point of attention, so the entire photo should be in focus. Landscape mode will make the entire photo clear throughout.
