Shot types

On our second day of photography we had to do different shot types like close up, wide shot, long shot and more. Me, Tom and Aaron decided to go up to Werneth Lowe because we wanted different pictures to everyone else. We did this to practise the manual focus and practising different shots.

 This is a wide shot from the top of Werneth Lowe, wide shots are good to show a wide view and a collaboration of different subjects within in the image, it is a good to show a large view of somewhere, wide shots are used more to show a lot in a picture rather than focusing on one point. I used the landscape setting for this

 This is a close up of a flower, close ups are good because it shows one subject in focus but also shows a bit of the background so you can see the setting of where the flower or subject is. I used the macro setting to take this picture

This is a midshot of a rock splashing a puddle, midshots are used to show the subject from a bit of distance but not too far so you cant see what the focus is, you can also see all the background and its all in focus to show the surroundings of the subject. It is also to show an action like the ripples

This is a mid close up of a wooden pole, mid close ups are good because you can see detail on a subject but it isnt the entire picture you can see a good amount of background so you can see its surroundings.

This is a point of view shot of my friend Tom looking out at a nice view at the top of Werneth Lowe, point of view shots are good because they show what someone is looking at from a different angle and you can see what they see.

This is an extreme close up of a pink flower, extreme close ups are good because you can see the subject in full detail and none of the background so it gives you a really clear and detailed picture of the subject.
