louis photography

Throughout the year I have learned and refined various different skills in photography.

ISO: Iso is the level of sensitivity of your camera with light. The lower the number the less sensitive it is to light the higher the number the more sensitive it is. ISO settings as you can see below can go from 50 to as high as 6400 making the image extremely sensitive to light.


We also used soft and hard light to take photos for indoors and outdoors. hard light is used indoors because of its higher contrast soft light is used for larger objects.



The Effects of weather: In recent weeks the weather has been really bad with high pressure winds hitting the south coast hard and heavy amounts of rainfall. Storm weather is my favourite kind of weather when being indoors because it adds a air of relaxation but when outside i love the hot summer weather. This is the topic i have chosen for my photographs.

Shutter speed: Is a setting on the camera it controls the length of time the shutter is open and allows the light to travel through the lens. If the shutter is open for too long it will create a picture that is over exposed which is where too much light travels through the lense causing a image that is too bright. If the shutter is not open long enough you will get a image that is under exposed which means that there is not enough light in the image causing it to be dark and hard to see.


Leading lines: Creates a path for the eye to follow. Can draw you to a focal point this is the part of an image that your want to draw attention to. Draws you into the picture and makes the image 3D.



Focal points: A focal point is the most important part of an image. On a grid the focal points are essentially lines in on both sides.


Depth of field: is the focus on the image between distance. The background is usually blurred out while the main feature is focused on.


Aperture: Is a hole where light travels through the camera the bigger the aperture the more bright the photo meaning more blur. The smaller the aperture the darker the image.






These photos involved me putting a timer on to the camera and then painting the air with light using our flashlights the results were successful.
