Studio 2 (22/07/10): Aperture and Shutter Speed

The task:

Experimenting with exposure and depth of field by combining different shutter speeds and apertures.

Exposure is a combination of 3 things - film speed (ISO) aperture setting and shutter speed. In order to have the correct exposure we need to have a "full cup of light", meaning each of these settings should complement each other depending on the amount of light in the situation. Often, a fast shutter speed is complemented with a large aperture setting in order to let enough light into the lens. If the shutter is left open for a long time then only a small aperture is required.

Here are some images we took for this exercise:
