Still Life Practice in the Studio

Camera settings ISO-100 SS-100

Changing Aperture only

F-11 F-8

F-8 F-9

F-10 F-11

To try to correctly expose the still life, I took several shots at different Apertures. As you can see, the higher the Aperture, the darker the photograph.

F-11 F-13

F-11 F-13 F-14

I think that using an aperture of F-11 achieves the best exposure for the left hand side of this still life set up, however it does leave the right hand side slightly under exposed. I don’t mind it too much, as it’s like the light is shinning bright from the apple. Also the catch lights on the shinny surfaces are just right.

F-11 F-11

Below, I needed a really high Aperture so not to over expose the white Budda.

I quite like to photograph old metal and different textures. I seperated the grater from the bottles.
