These pictures are good examples of maximum depth of field because the whole entire picture is in focus. The photographer focuses the camera a certain way making the whole scenery clear and crisp.

Shallow Depth of Field

The above pictures are good examples of shallow depth of field because only the object that is closest to the camera is in focus. The photographer puts their camera close to the subject and focuses the camera on that object, resulting on the rest of the picture to be blurred and not in focus.

Shooting into Light

These two pictures are examples of shooting into light. The photographer positioned himself in front of the light source, so he could shoot into light. The photographer could have used a technique known as reflected metering. Reflected metering reads the intensity of lighting and tries to adjust the photograph according. However, the photographer has to overcome and overexpose the photo to create the silhouette effect.

Activity 2

Single Light Source

This picture of the guitar is an example of a single light source photograph. A single light source photo only has one light source and in this instance, is the lamp on the left.

Multiple Light Source

This lovely picture of the newly-wed couple is an example of multiple light source because there is more than one light source shining on them. One light source is shining on the couple while another is the sunlight light. The last light source is the car, because it lights up the picture making it brighter.

The above pictures are excellent examples of hard lighting. Hard lighting is when the majority of the picture has strong lighting while the rest has a some.

Soft Lighting

The above picture is a great example of soft light because the subject is highlighted with light but is really faint.
