Hard light, Neutral color balance
Nikon D300, 75mm, f:4.0, 1/800, ISO 100.
I played with this shot (and my new friend Gary) for a while in different locations and light conditions, and this was my favorite. It took a while and a lot of moving around to get in position while Gary sort of did whatever he wanted. In this particular photo i liked the shadow his eyes cast on the concrete
Tech: Nikon D7000 55mm, f8 @ 1/250 sec, ISO 400 21mm extension tubes.

Lauren Kwasniewski Week 5: Shutter
KODAK EASYSHARE C182 Digital Camera, 1/500 Sec., f/5.2, 17mm, ISO-80
In honor of the approaching holiday, I captured this flag blowing in the wind near my work in Draper, UT. Had I had the opportunity, I would have loved to take this photo at sunrise or sunset. I will attempt to do just that this weekend.

Emily Cook~Shutter Speed
Here are a few images taken at the Utah Olympic Park this week. The first with fast shutter speed (ISO 100, 1/2000@f2.8), the second panning (ISO 200 1/30 @f22) and one long exposure (ISO 200, 6 seconds @f22).
Ashlee Rich - Week 6: Light
I took this around 7:30 in the morning. The light was soft and perfect! I used the shade color balance setting.

Carolyn Steele - Week 5 - Shutter Speed
Garden Lights

Geranium in my garden (not an old plant, but the garden's been evolving for about 30 years, so I think that qualifies in my study of old gardens). Shot at F/22, 30 secs, 200mm, Nikon D-300. I used a green laser pointer to tickle the leaves and a white flashlight with homemade snoot to light the blossoms.
Falling Roses
This one was taken in my backyard, looking at Little Cottonwood Canyon. My husband was standing on the deck, sprinkling the roses while I shot from below. I had to bump the ISO to 800 to give me enough speed (1/2000 sec) to capture the roses at F/11.

Assignment #4 Shallow DOF
Simply a basket of plastic fruit that I always have questions about the speckling on the apples when people look up close. Here the lemons appear to have almost no texture.
Rachel Green- Assignment 5
Canon PowerShot SD960 IS... 1/250... f/5.6... ISO-80
This was taken at the Utah State Capitol Building and I played with different shutter speeds with the blades of grass blowing in the wind... this was my favorite assignment yet!

Canon PowerShot SD960 IS...1/400... f/5.6...ISO-80...
This picture was taken using the "fine" compression setting and the dimensions are 4000x3000. I prefer using this setting, because you can blow it up or use it on your desktop as a wallpaper and it doesn't look pixelated or fuzzy. I do appreciate the quality that a point-and-shoot can produce at this setting.

Canon 18-55mm 1/250 f11 ISO 200 Human Stupidity This is not really a motion picture but I didn't think the ones I took were worth sharing.
Ashlee Rich - Week 5
I found this week’s assignment to be really fun to shoot. It was also a great reason to go hiking. The slow shutter speed is my absolute favorite shot of the day (I’m excited to play with slow shutter speeds in the future).
Fast shutter speed: Panasonic DMC-TZ3, 1/250, @ f. 3.3, 11.8mm, ISO 100
Slow shutter speed: Panasonic DMC-TZ3, 1/30, @ f. 4.4, 9.5mm, ISO 160

Rosalyn RichardsonWeek 4, Depth of Field
With my point and shoot, the largest aperture that I could get was 2.8 and the smallest aperture was 5.9.
IMG 0237.JPG is the greater depth of field (it is more of a landscape shot) the aperture 5.9, shutter speed 1/320, ISO 400. IMG0255.JPG is the shallow depth of field with the white flower in focus and the red slightly blurred and the background with the fountain blurred, aperture 2.8, shutter speed 1/800, ISO 400.

Anthony Rogerson Week #4
I shot this at f-stop 5.6. Focal length-- 32mm. ISO--200. 1/200 I wanted the flower to be in focus, and the rest to be a little out of focus.
This was shot at f-stop 32. Focal length--52mm. ISO-500, 1/60. I wanted the whole fence line to be in focus, but this is as close as I could get. I still think it is a cool shot, but I need to perfect the depth of focus.

Lauren Kwasniewski Week 4 Aperture
Smaller apertures allow my objects at a wide range of distance to all be in focus at the same time. In other words, the peppers in the extended depth of field (larger f-stop then the shallow-depth field) show a vibrant display of colors in which the clarity and focus is distributed over a larger area in this photo. The focus is not necessarily on one single pepper.
The peppers portrayed in the shallow depth of field (in which I used a larger aperture but smaller f-stop) photo draw your focus to the single red pepper in the middle of the image. The stem seems to be the most clear (in focus) and crisp area of the entire photo. Unfortunately, the sticker on the pepper to the right is a bit distracting. I did not think to turn the pepper over in the display until after I had left the grocery store.
Overall, I am slightly disappointed in the outcome of my photos. Although I did not use a flash, the florescent lighting in the store produced an unflattering gleam and reflection on some of the produce. In the future, I will try to capture most of my pictures in natural lighting.

Daniel Feldman Fast/slow shutter #5
Slow shutter:Nikon D300 10mm f:6.3, 3619.7 seconds, ISO 100. Long exposures are one of my favorite types of photos. This was taken at Brighton over the course of about an hour and shows the spin of the earth around the north star which remains stationary
Fast shutter: Nikon D300 18mm, f:3.5 1/800 ISO 100
It took several attempts and some help from a friend to coax this picture out of my lazy golden

Daniel Feldman Shallow/Deep DoF #4
Deep DoF: Nikon D300, 10mm, 1/50, f4.0 ISO 1250. Almost the entire picture is in focus as a result of the very short focal length and large subject to camera distance
Shallow DoF: Nikon D300, 50mm, 1/320, f4.0 ISO 100. Both photos were shot at f4.0 (larger apertures had way too shallow DoF) which shows the effect focal length and subject to focal plane distance have on depth of field.

Assignment #4 Depth of Field
I was feeling the Lazy Days of Summer in this one and in fact was at the farm picking up some local organic veggies at the time. Shot with Cannon EOS 20D, ISO 400, 1/3200 at f 2.8 with. I made a few color changes to give it a dreamy look and liked the narrow depth of field with blurred trees, grass and farm house in the background.

Elizabeth Parry Assignment# 3
Nikon D70, 1/90, f/5.6, ISO 100 Lens 300MM ; My cat Loki Bear , thought the shallow depth of field would really focus in on my cat and turned out to be a great portrait.
Week 3 - Abbie Gardner
I shot these images with my GE X5 DSLR camera. My subject this semester is Utah water way's. I shot these in JPEG Best format because it gave me a high quality without taking up to much memory.
The ISO speed for both images is 64 and apertures are 3.17
Ashlee Rich - Week 4
Extended depth of field: Panasonic DMC-TZ3, 1/125 @4.8, 29.2mm, ISO 100.
I captured both the detail of the flower and it's leaves, and the rich texture of the trunk (an extended depth of field helped me achieve this).
Shallow depth of field: Panasonic DMC-TZ3, 1/320 @4.5, 10.2mm, ISO 100.
By focusing solely on the flower, allowing the background to blur together, it creates visual impact and interest. All of this thanks to a shallower depth of field.
Carolyn Steele - Week 4 - Exposure
This shot epitomizes Gilgal Gardens - rather esoteric but fascinating to study. This was shot at 18mm, 1/100, F/16. (The syllabus said to post two shots, one at each end of the F/spectrum, so I did.)
Oliver Iotcovici - Assignment #3
Shot with a Canon PowerShot S95, 1/50 @ f/2, 6 mm | ISO 100
I played with similar pictures of this pine-cone at different megapixel settings. In this specific case, I thought the finer quality (larger format) was appropriate because the specific detail I wanted to highlight. My concern was that the noise on this busy pattern might detract from the intricate pattern and light shadow effects on the surface. If was taking a wider angle shot, I found that the quality at even half this resolution would work provided I didn't care for this granular of detail.

Casey Hale Assignment 3
Shot this with my Canon Rebel T1i with F-stop f/5.6 Exposure time of 1/60 sec. ISO-320 with a focal length of 55mm. No flash. Just some plant I have in the front yard, had an interesting texture.
Anthony Rogerson Week #3
I used a Nikon D3000 for this shot. 1/320 @ F9, 40mm, ISO 200. I chose this image because the quality was good but shooting it in JPEG normal didn't take up very much room on my memory card.
DOF & shutter speed-bbroderick
On the one of my images I captured the tree I was focusing on and a few surround for my extended depth of field. Then for my shallow field photo I captured the tree trunk and then the branches which is defining the tree up close and personal.
The apertures of both photos were just on my outdoor setting and when I uploaded them I tweeked them a little bit to be to my liking by adjusting the brightness and getting more highlights on it which brought out the branches more.
