To create a sense of movement and a more dynamic image, I
chose a slow shutter speed (1/8s) to pan and follow the subject. I experimented
with different shutter speeds, and I chose a shutter speed with the intent to
match the shutter speed with the duration of subject’s movement as I moved the
camera to follow the action. The subject is situated approximately at the left
one-third hit point, leaving the remaining two-thirds of the blurred space to
depict a story of rapid movement. The bright yellow shirt and relative
sharpness of the subject in relation to the background make the subject the
focal point of the image.
I chose a large aperture opening (f/2.8) to get a shallow
depth of field, separating the subject and making her stand out from the
foreground of the bookshelf. I chose a fast shutter speed (1/80s) to freeze her
motion and capture the moment. I chose to place sharpness on the subject to
make her a focal point, additionally; her dark clothing against the bright
white background provides contrast and a balance of light and dark areas of the
photograph. I used the position of one of the books to frame the main subject
and the bookshelves from the lower vantage point I used, act as leading lines
to guide the eye toward the subject.
I chose a long exposure (2s) to gain a sense of movement and
to capture the trailing lights of the car. I also used a moderately large
aperture for a landscape shot (f/6.3) to make the image flat but also limit the
shutter speed to reduce the amount of noise. The bright spots of the
streetlights, red trailing lights and reflections on the street are focal
points that make the photo more dynamic and allow the eye to move around the
image. As well, I wanted to capture the mix of colours of light on the street,
which provide some contrast and a balance of light and dark with of the lighter
yellow tones with the darker bluish toned lights.
