Assignment 2A - Shutter speed and Aperture

As we progress into the course, we get to learn the 2 most important variable in photography - shutter speed and aperture.

These 2 concepts is something mandatory tat we all must learn as photography simply revolves around them.

Here are some of my takes:

Freezing motion

The Dancer
taken atop the roof of AS7.. Jus nice that the sun was setting and my friend, who is a proficient dancer, agreed to pose!

Its a pity tat we do not have a full view of the horizon.. but it was a fun shot! =)=)

Cool Dip
Inspired by the Olympics which jus ended, decided to do a "dive shot" of a strawberry into a pool of water.. At the same time, trying to capture the splash and "freeze" it there..

After a around 50 shots and a wet room, got this shot finally.. haha..

Hey.
Zhengguo, here from NM3223 also.
I am personally very attracted to the dancer shot.

Although its a silhouette, but the intensity and the fluidity of the motion of the is very captivating. When casted on a setting sun, the photograph is enhanced by the color that the sunset brings.

And o, the strawberry.. the wet room is worth it!

KUDOS.

you can take really good photographs.
