FINAL PHOTOS

Image 1

The focus of this image is the subject which is in the foreground. By using a shallow depth of field I have made the background out of focus so as to draw more attention to towards the subject of the photograph. The photograph is framed horizontally with the metal bar coming directly into the foreground, this means that only part of the metal bar can be seen with the rest of it being out of focus. The exposure is a little desaturated but can still be seen clearly. This image uses the rule of thirds as the subject matter is not centred directly in the middle of the frame. By having the background out of focus it allows the foreground to draw peoples eye and not be distracted as they are both similar in their colour scheme and tone, blending together well.


Image 2

The focus of this picture is the line of dumbbells centred down the middle of the image. The foreground and background are both in focus.The exposure is a little darker in this image with the shutter speed slowed down and the aperture being slightly wider than before. The shot is steady with zero blur, the foreground is out of focus very slightly and the background is completely in focus, creating a high contrast in the photograph's depth of field. This photograph places the dumbbells in the bottom third and in the top third, helping to draw the viewers eye to the background of the image. the foreground is quite distracting as it takes up a good portion of the image even though it is not actually the focus.




Image 3

The focus of this image is in the foreground. For this photograph I have used a low aperture and a shallow depth of field in order to blur out the background and draw the viewers eye to the foreground of the photograph subject. The framing of the photograph has been done vertically so as to encapsulate the entire image into the frame from this angle. The exposure in this shot is very high with the sunlight engulfing most of the frame. For this shot I held the camera up facing towards the sky. Even though I used a slower shutter speed for this shot I was still able to keep it steady without any unintentional blurring. I made sure that the camera had the image directly in the centre of the frame, giving it a depth and dimension with no leading lines. The background is blurred to enhance the foreground and not distract from the overall image.




Image 4

The focus of this photograph is the dumbbells in the foreground. The framing of this photograph does not use the rule of thirds, the part of the wall which is in the foreground is on the left side of the photograph, leaving plenty of room to see the rest of the background. This allows the viewer to appreciate the image as a whole. The exposure of this picture is slightly darker than the others, I compensated for this by using a much higher ISO. This picture does not use any leading lines. The background. the background of this shot could be seen as distracting as it take up so much of the frame and the foliage is not as blurred as I would like.

Image 5

The main focus of this photograph is the bench press in the foreground, the foliage in the background is blurred out and the face of the edge of the bench is also slightly blurry. The only part in complete focus is the little crevasse/crack in-between the wood. The exposure is very minimal in its usage with this image. Personally I think the use of exposure works just fine for this image. I stood still and zoomed in when holding the camera in order to increase the shutter speed and give the image a much sharper look. The photograph uses the rule of thirds by having the bar directly centred in the middle of the photograph. Having the end of the bar be completely in focus with everything else slightly blurry draws the viewers eye directly to the centre of the image which work as leading lines. The background does not distract from the overall image at all, it fits in with the theme and style of the photograph.


Image 6


















The main focus of this photograph is the front of the four dumbbells in the foreground. Almost all of the foliage in the background is blurred out which then contrasts with the foreground that is in complete focus, creating a contrasting depth of field. The photograph only focuses of the front of the weights that are in frame with the descending background gradually loosing minor focus. The framing of the image is slightly off centre, at a slight angle. I framed this shot on an angle so as to improve the shots lighting, giving it a slight flare across the top of the dumbbells, drawing the viewers eye to where the light is. The image does not use the rule of thirds as the lighting and leading lines show the viewer where the focus is.


Image 7

The focus of this image is the subject which is in the foreground which is the opposite end of the bench press bar. I decided to once again use a shallow depth of field and make the rest of the background all out of focus so as to draw more attention towards end of the bench press bar. The photograph is framed horizontally with the metal bar coming directly into the foreground, this means that only part of the metal bar can be seen with the rest of it being out of frame. The exposure is slightly shaded but the subject can still be seen very clearly. This image uses the rule of thirds as the end of the bar is centred directly in the middle of the frame.


Image 8

The focus of this image is the bench press. The reason both the foreground and the background are both in focus is because the colour palette blends together perfectly. The background is not distracting and does use the rule of thirds as the subject matter can be clearly seen and also uses leading lines. The exposure for this shot is neither too dark or too bright but instead matches with the sunlight against the equipment. This photograph was taken on a tripod so as to avoid any unwanted blur and ensure the photo is clear and steady.



Image 9

This subject matter of this photograph is centred right down the middle of the frame. This picture uses the rule of thirds by having the image clearly in view as well as keeping the subject matter of the bench visually interesting. The colour palette of the background is slightly darker than the rest of the photos so as not to distract from the focus of the image in the foreground and also help make it more visually interesting. I used a lower aperture for this image with a high shutter speed.



Image 10

In this photograph the subject matter of the image is a bar handle in the foreground, the rest of the background is all out of focus. the framing of the photograph puts the subject matter right in the centre of the image even though it is also on an angle to the right. The picture uses the rule of thirds by placing the subject matter along the right third slightly, which means that it can be seen clearly and the viewer still has an interesting view of the model. The exposure for the shot is neither to bright or too dark. It was taken handheld so as to get a right angle of the subject matter however, there was no unwanted blur given to the image as a result.
