Jumpology





Phillippe Halsman: "When you ask a person to jump, his attention is mostly directed towards the act of jumping and the mask falls so that the real person appears." (Phillippe Halsman's Jump Book, 1959)

In today's practical we looked at 'Jumpology'. This task was to get us thinking about subjects that are in motion. This would require a high shutter speed to avoid motion blur. This would mean that the image sensors of our camera's would be exposed to light for a very short duration of time. This would result in very dark images.





















To compensate for this, we used a high ISO sensitivity setting along with an appropriate aperture setting that took into account the weather conditions. I wanted to have a depth of field for my photographs that didn't blur too much of the background out too, so I selected the exposure settings you can see on the  left under my examples.
