Histogram




a.   In the high key image the histogram falls more on the right side. 
b.    Not in this image because their aren't any highlight clipping.
c.     In the low key image the histogram falls more on the left side. 
d.      Not in this image because their aren't any shadow clipping.
e.   The pixels are pretty much everywhere but they are a bit more to the left side.
f.      Yes their is in the highlights.
g.     Yes because it was not clipping any of the highlights or shadows in the high key and low key pictures. 
h.    the mixed one because it has information everywhere in the histogram

Lens Depth Distortions

Telephoto

70mm 
  
- camera approx. 1 meter from stool

- Stool is not stretched

- Background is not distorted
-The with of the photo is a lot narrower then the WA lens.

-As for distance, with the telephoto the background is a lot closer to the object.

-For the telephoto, the object contracts and does not really enlarge.







Wide Angle

28mm

- camera approx. .4 meter from horse

- stool is obviously distorted & stretched

- Background is obviously distorted


-The with of this photo is a lot wider and we see a lot more of the background.

-For the background distance, it is a lot further with the wide angle

-For the wide angle, the object expands and enlarges a lot in the bottom





Telephoto

70mm

- camera approx. 1 meter from subject

- subject is not stretched

- Background is not distorted

-The with of the photo is a lot narrower then the WA lens.

-As for distance, with the telephoto the background is a lot closer to the subject then with the wide shot.

-For the telephoto, the subject  looks a lot more normal than the wide angle lens




Wide Angle

28mm

- camera approx. .4 meter from horse

- stool is obviously distorted & stretched

- Background is obviously distorted 

-The with of this photo is a lot wider and we see a lot more of the background.

-For the background distance, it is a lot further with the wide angle.

-For the wide angle, the subject gets distorted compare to the telephoto shots. 

Scenario: imagine that you're shooting a model (full body) against a seamless. Your
framing of the model is what you want but the edges (and beyond) of the seamless are
visible in your frame. You don't want to move the model back towards the seamless and  
you don't want to have to retouch out the seamless edges. Applying what you learned 
from this exercise today, what's the solution using just your camera & lens?

So for this scenario I would get a telephoto lens to shoot the subject so that the background would fill the frame and we would not se the edges of the backdrop

s: 1/5000 f :4.5
NR: normal

iso: 3200
s: 1/5000 f :4.5
NR: high

For the noise reduction setting my camera didn't do much of a big difference with the low iso's but around 3200 iso we started noticing one. In my opinion the highest noise reduction setting is the best because it removes the most noise without loosing much sharpness.



In this image the white balance is pretty neutral .

For this image the white balance is a lot warmer and orange like. It doesn't seem as natural in my opinion.

This one is the opposite as the one above it is a lot colder(blue) but could potentially look more normal then the orange one because it is winter and their is that feeling.

This image was purposely shot in the wrong white balance to give the image and overall feeling. I shot this image with a bluer setting to give the image a colder and more sinister fell to it. This image would be better for a scary purpose but not as good for a happy and warming one.

CW2 Lab 2 Aperture

1.2.
Portraits: 1. iso-500 shutter speed-1/60 f-22
2. iso-50 shutter speed-1/250 f-2.8

For the first two pictures I find that portrait with the lowest aperture is the nicest one because it really makes us focus on the subject and the background is not disturbing at all. The feeling of the first picture is a bit more clean but distracting because of its very sharp background.



Architecture: iso-3200 shutter speed-1/13 f-22

In my opinion it is much better to have a lots of depth for an architecture shot because you get much more detail all the way through your images.

123
 
Still Life:1. iso-3200 shutter speed-1/640 f-2.8
2. iso-3200 shutter speed-1/100 f-8
3. iso-3200 shutter speed-1/8 f-22

For these three pictures, I find that the second one is really the best one because it has the perfect balance. The first one is a bit to soft because the depth of field is a little bit to shallow because it's out of focus near the edges of the speaker. The third one on the other hand doesn't have as much as that darkening effect for the background, so the eye focuses a bit more on the whole image. Finally the second one really has the right balance because it has all the detail around the edges of the speaker and also has the darkening effect on the background so that we can really focus on the object.
