Album Cover Shots

Album Cover Shots




Before we took any pictures for my album cover we tested how long it would take to draw the certain things we aimed to make so we could set the right settings on the camera...

 At first we used a torch to see how well the settings performed. For the first couple test pictures that we took with the torch we used the setting of...

ISO: 400

Focal Length: 29mm

Aperture: f/18

Shutter Speed: 6.0s

We used these settings as we took these shots in the dark so therefore there was almost if not no light therefore The ISO could be raised to 400 and the aperture could be lowered to f/18, such darkening settings were used as the shutter speed was at 6.0s letting in a lot of light anyway, so the ISO and aperture were set to balance it out.

With the main shots which we took we used sparklers which we had a limited supply of, therefore this is why we took test shots; the settings used were:

ISO: 400

Focal Length: 17mm

Aperture: f/22

Shutter Speed: 10.0s



 I used A shorter focal length on these pictures as the shapes created in a "wing" formation and the "name" were a fair bit larger than the test shots therefore I needed to see the whole frame, also I had to use a higher aperture as I also increased the shutter speed therefore i had to balance it out yet again. I used a longer shutter speed as the shapes created were more complex and took longer than the original test shots.
