Aperture Experiment

F8 Wide lense


F8 Standard Lense


Experimenting in F.2


Experimenting in F16

Throughout this experiment I was experimenting with aperture and a range of different camera lenses. By doing this I was able to discover and learn about aperture. My strengths throughout this experiment were ensuring a range of lenses were used in order to effectively test the change in aperture when each lens was put onto the camera. By doing this it helps my overall knowledge of camera work as I now know how to adjust the aperture in order to have an effect on an image.

 A weakness however in this experiment is that in some of the footage shot, specifically when shooting at F.2 the image was over exposed, meaning that parts of the image seemed white and overall too bright. Some of the technical challenges that I faced was struggling to get to grips with different lenses, I struggled with focusing the image and it took me some time to focus the shot. Some shots were also overly exposed which can be seen in the clip "experimenting in F.2".

 Overall all of the above footage was filmed in order to further my understanding of Aperture, which I feel has been a success as I know feel more confident in what Aperture is and what it does to an image when altered. In order to improve my videos I would ensure that I deal with the exposure better so that videos are not overly exposed and perhaps use a tripod in all videos rather than in just a few as my camera work in 2 videos out of the 4 is rather shaky, with a tripod it would be steadied.
