Creative Practise Landscapes - Exercise 1

Set Up:

I created two images per lens, one at lowest aperture and one at maximum aperture.

I used my Nikon D3500 for each shot and kept the tripod in the same place. The crop sensor size for my APS-C camera is x 1.5. I calculated each lens size with the crop sensor in mind to fit the guidelines of this task.

Native ISO is the baseline setting your camera is set at to achieve the most detail out of your image. Going above or below this setting will digitally un-amplify or amplify the sensor’s sensitivity to the light it is capturing. - https://blog.specshoward.edu/blog/native-iso. Therefore, I shot at ISO 100.

For each shot with the maximum aperture setting, I used the self timer to avoid more blur.

The metadata for all these images includes my name, my contact details and copyright information, the time and calendar date, and the lens and aperture used for the image. The size of the images are all 168mm x 252mm, 150 dpi, jpeg (at quality setting of 10).

The 6 images with three different lense sizes and either lowest or highest aperture:

18mm f/3.5 – due to the crop sensor my smallest lens, 18mm, would be 18x1.5 = 27mm. 1/8 sec.

18mm f/22. 4 sec.

25mm f/4 - 50mm lens would be 50x1.5 = 75mm. Too large so 25x1.5 = 50mm. 1/10 sec.

25mm f/25. 4 sec.

200mm f/5.3 – largest lens is 300mm which would be 300x1.5 = 450 (too large). Therefore 200x1.5 = 300mm. 1/110 sec.

200mm f/29. 2 sec.
