Manual exposure

I carried on experimenting with exposure, keeping the shutter speed static and simply working through the apertures one by one. This transforms even a simple shot.

The shots are all at 1/50 and show the effect of the different apertures of my usual lens on exposure: f2.8, 3.2, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.6, 6.3, 7.1, 8.0, 9.0, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22.

I took more shots like this over the weekend of 2/3 Feb and enjoyed watching things dissolve in light and re-emege from darkness.



And the capacity of light and exposure to totally change the mood of a picture was very clear.

  1. Hi Martin. This is perfect for your journal - it's a great exercise to learn how various settings affect the image. I agree with your comment about how the exposure can change the mood of an image - even the same shot. The flare works well in the tree shot.
