Abstract-Shape and Pattern
Some basics
• Depth of field - Remember your aperture
• Do I need to shoot in macro – If so, what are your options?
• What about ISO?
ApertureA large aperture f/4 or f/5.6 for a small depth of field
A small aperture f/22 or f/20 for a large depth of field
Taken at f/2.8
Taken at f/8
• Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter stays open when you take a photograph
• It is useful for photographing moving objects. Slow shutter speeds on a moving object produce blurring. For example: A shutter speed of 1/30 photographing your child running around the garden, would result in a blurry image, 1/160 would stop the burring of the subject.
• A slow shutter speed teamed with panning would create a great motion blurring effect, giving the impression of movement.
• A slow shutter speed with the camera mounted on a tripod can create artistic light trails. E.g. Light trails from a car at night or fireworks.
Shutter speed
Long exposure – Long depth of field
What makes a good Abstract or Pattern picture?
Any ideas as to what this is?
Long exposure – Short depth of field - Possible high ISO
Something everyday becomes an interesting subject
It’s all in the eye of the photographer
Great macro shot of quite an ordinary subject
Pattern/Abstract shot - Just oil, water and a lamp
Abstract shot - Shooting a zoom burst
Do you recognise this object from your childhood?
Abstract Architecture
Great composition enhanced by being shot in black and white
Would you have recognised the subject without the man?
Utilising glass and reflection
Great abstract photographs and more
Abstract/Pattern task• Using whatever you have at your
disposal, camera, phone or just discuss, take a photo in the building of either an abstract or pattern subject.
