Photo Assignment 2- Event



For this second assignment I decided to shot pictures for an event. It happened to work out perfectly that I went to a Varsity Track meet on Friday night and was able to get some shots. To the left is my best picture. As you can see it is of a pole vaulter. It was darker outside so I had issues with adjusting everything to get a decent balance of everything to produce a good picture. I ended up using the flash to help balance out the light, in order to maintain a decent balance. Over all I enjoyed this photo shoot.



Shutter Speed: 1/50
Aperture: F2.6
ISO:200




I took several photos for this shooting and edited 10 of them. I had a hard time (as I stated above) with getting the balance between the ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture. I ended up having a fairly high ISO (with the exception of the one above), because I had to have a fast shutter speed in order to catch the action, but I was dark outside; this meant a high ISO in order to get enough light to be able to actually see the picture and not have a black square. Unfortunately this meant lots of digital noise. For the future, I will try to get more shots during the day and try to avoid late night photos until I become more skilled in general.
