Reflection: Depth of Field

1. The green plant picture is the best shot of this assignment because it is large enough to be clearly in focus and the background is simple and has different colors.
2. The fly picture is the weakest shot of the assignment because it is small and hard to tell that it is in focus.
3. The weakest image can be improved on in future shots by either placing the camera closer to the fly or taking a picture with a larger subject.
4. I used Photoshop, specifically crop, brightness, contract, levels, curves, exposure, offset, vibrancy, and hue.
5. Changing the aperture and shutter effects the depth of field by the camera focusing on things at various distances from the camera.  I do not find capturing one easier than the other.
6. Taking the pictures was the easiest part of this assignment because we has a lot of time to do it.
7. Assuring that the pictures were clearly in low or high depth of field was the hardest part of this assignment.
8. If I could do this assignment differently I would get closer to the fly to make them more detailed.
9. I would rate my effort on this assignment a 6 because taking the pictures was quite easy.
