TASK 3 - Introduction to Depth of Field and Shutter Speed

For task 3 we had to produce 2 images of wide and narrow depth of field and 2 images using slow and fast shutter speeds. 

For wide and narrow depth of field I went out into the countryside and for the shutter speed tasks I went for traffic as it moved both fast and slow.   Using a slow shutter speed I was able to obtain a photograph of a car which blurred.  Using faster shutter speed I was able to freeze some cars.

With wide depth of field I aimed to get as much in the frame in focus as I could.  With narrow depth of field I aimed only to get the snout of the pig in focus and blur the background. 

My photographs are shown below and further details of camera settings are included.  The camera I used was the previously mentioned loan Canon 450d.  I did not use a tripod for any of these photographs.
