Assignment 3: Focal length, sensor latitude

1.High key

f2.8 1/25 +1.7 step 50mm
ISO400
Ice cubes from the cup of Long John silver.

After some photoshop to brush up the flaws of the photo, tarrdarr.. its brighter and looks more like a high key photo. =)
Low Key

1/125 f5.6 -1 ISO400
Vintage looking fan at this place near baghdad street.
Anyway I though it was a low key picture, but apparently after searching for examples on google images, i realized it isnt.

I am using this as my low key picture, its a photo of my bike's headlight and signal lights.
I took this at night at the carpark, switching on only the headlight.
Another low key photo taken in my room when the sun was setting around 6pm. I was amazed by the sun rays that was shining through my windows and curtains.

3.Zoom shots
With the help of tripod stand. A nice view at 15th storey.
1"6 Ev : -1 ISO: 400

taken at the same place as the 1st picture.

2" F11 ISO 400
Ev: -1.333
(Chosen Piece)
I chose this simple piece of zoom shot because I find it kinda surreal looking;
the HDB lights and the car lights in the middle of the picture. I like the composition of this photo more than the rest and thus I chose this! =)

Without tripod stand, using only the ledge of my corridor.
2" F16 ISO 400 Ev: -1.66

Another photo of zoom key. The shutterspeed was around 5 secs and i moved the camera around (which was mounted on the tripod) and zooming it at the same time. So this was what I got.

I tried zoom shot in the day light. Its harder than shooting in night time as the picture tends to overexposure easily.


Close up of my tiny handphone. Its very small and slim. But with the help of the macro lens(100mm), the buttons come to life!

ISO400 f2.8 1/60
I would have chosen this as my close up piece, but I couldnt find the original format. =(

I chose this close up picture of doggy instead.
F5.6, 1/400/ISO 400, 55mm


5.Perspective - "a longer journey ahead"

Taken at Arab street.
1/1600 F4 ISO400 EV: 0 18mm


I have a hard time taking the picture of the tall building below. I must consider the framing and positioning of the building when I was holding the camera pointing upwards.
But didnt really like this picture compared to the rest of the perspective photos.

1/4000 F4.5 Iso400
18mm


Finally, this is the piece that I chose for Perspective!
F5.6 1/640sec ISO 400 Focal 17mm
Taken at Sentosa


Symbolic of the SUN

1/3200 Ev:-2/3
F4.5
ISO 400

The DHL balloon is round, big and bright in colour.
Just like the sun rise and sun set, it grabs attention and its a beautiful sight to catch.
With the contrast of the blue skies at the back, the balloon grabs the whole attention away.
