Photos from students in COMM 1318/Photography 1
They appear to pour out of headphones, jars, and bottles. Students in COMM 1318 Photography 1 practiced adjusting their apertures this week in creative ways.
The size of the camera’s aperture, basically the lens opening, controls how much light comes into the camera as well as depth of field. If the aperture is wide enough, what’s in the picture’s background can become pleasingly blurred.
Tiny Christmas lights in the back of a dark room bubbled out of whatever was closest to the students’ cameras. The bubble shapes come from dark paper cut outs held in front of the lens.
Students had fun deciding what containers and shapes to use. These are some of their best efforts.
