Questions:

1. The lower the f-stop what happens?

A: The lower the f-stop, the brighter the image, but it lowers the depth of field.

2. The higher the f-stop, what happens?

A: The higher the f-stop, the darker the image, but the DOF is increased meaning distant and close objects are in focus.

3. The shorter the exposure, what happens?

A: The shorter the exposure, the darker the image. Shorter exposures freeze motion making light painting difficult.

4. The longer the exposure what happens? 

A: The longer the exposure, the brighter the image. Longer exposures do not freeze motion, making them ideal for light painting.

5. What worked well?

A. For most purposes, a high f-stop (f/8 to f/13), a long exposure (>10s), and a high ISO ( 800 or 1600) worked well for most of these assignments.

6. What was your favorite image and why?

A: The image of Anthony standing next to the streaks looks great because of the highlights and shadows it creates.

7. What would you have done differently?

A: If we had used more colors per picture, they might have turned out even better.
