How is your shoot progressing?
My progress is slow but moving i have taken a few images but not as many as I would like to. I have try 2 different styles one being popping bubbles and the other being water balloon. for the water balloon we had problems surrounding the shutter speed and the focus. We had to change the the shutter speed multiple times as it could not be to fast of to slow due to capturing the image at the right time. The focus was hard as auto focus would not focus on the balloon but would on the bubbles and manual focus would not work on the bubbles but has helpful on the water balloons.
What are some of the strengths?
Some of my strengths is setting the aperture and capturing the image at a good height.the image bellow is an example of an image I have taken. The strengths on that specific image is the focus and time was spot on.
What are some weaknesses?
I am overall happy with the image but I could work on have less hands in the shot created as more crowded image.I could of worked on focus of the water droplets as having them in focus will create more depth of field.
Why have you chosen the exposure settings and lighting?
I have chosen and ISO of 800 as the room we were shooting in was dark even with the box lights we had. I had an aperture of 5.6 to to create a blurred background and a focused foreground creating a shallow depth of field. I had a shutter speed of 1/500 of a second as we need to capture the image a the right time and get the balloon frozen in time. if giving the chance to change one thing about the image i would change the background colour to black as it makes the colour stand out more. I am over all happy with the image and have learnt a lot.
