Axioms

Now that I finally have access to a camera capable of producing the variables required of this assignment, I was able to go out and shoot the axioms with my buddy Jamal. We struggled at first, taking a few overexposed photos, but we eventually got it figured out (hopefully) with the aid of professor Young.
These four photos address slow shutter speed, fast shutter speed, shallow depth of field, and wide depth of field respectively. The metadata is included under each photo.

Slow Shutter Speed:
f/36
1/80s
55mm

Fast Shutter Speed:
f/5.6
1/4000s
55mm


Shallow Depth of Field:
f/5.6
1/3200s
55mm


Deep Depth of Field:
f/22
1/200s
18mm

Getting the depth of field photos was a bit confusing, and I'm not sure I 100% grasp the concept. It seemed as though I was only able to achieve a shallow depth of field with a much more condensed focal length, and the deep depth of field with a much wider focal length. I feel as though the f-stop and shutter speed were not huge factors in creating the axiom, although somehow I don't think that's quite correct. Either way, I think I achieved the requirement of the assignment. If not, I gladly welcome any tips on creating a shallow and deep depth of field with greater accuracy.

  1. I think you nailed the depth of field and its a great shot of Jamal.
