Photography

I've been experimenting with photography and the Av feature. The Av feature or the aperture controls how much light is shown in the picture, controlled by the lens. So for most of my pictures are on a high Av so less light is getting through so the picture is focus.

This is a photo of a skull that I took the aperture was high so less light was on the picture, this photo was also not using the setting macro so it is not as detailed as a photo with Marco.




This is a similar picture but taken with the macro setting and a black background. The change of background makes the black in the picture stand out making the picture as a whole feel darker and more morbid. The details are more precise this is because of the Marco setting. I enjoy this setting as it allows you to get so close and be able to see intricate details. I also much prefer the black background as it makes the skull stand out.

I also photographed medicine bottles. With these photos I again used the black background I think it helps in adding definition to the bottles. The wide photo of the bottle was taken not using the macro setting so the writing is not in focus. But I like the way the light hits the bottle from one side. The close up of the label was taken with the Macro setting I like how worn the label looks and how grubby the bottle is, it creates the impression of them being used a lot.
