Jacob Saunders Digital Nature Photography

The first photo is a little under exposed but could be saved with about half a stop of light in post. F2.8  iso 200 1/400 The second photo is what I would consider correctly exposed with the leaves in focus at f2.8 iso 200 1/200. A little bit of motion blur is present in the leaves at 1/200 Third is under exposed with a higher f-stop where more of the leaves are in focus. Leaving iso at 200 and shutter at 1/400 it is visibly darker at f5.6 with more in focus. Fourth photo brings everything together with a shallow depth of field and no motion blur while being correctly exposed. F2.8 iso 400 1/400.

https://petapixel.com/2019/09/24/pro-wedding-photographers-compare-iphone-11-pro-to-canon-5d-mark-iv/ The article is a comparison of the new Iphone Pro 11 vs tried and true wedding photography cameras like the canon 5d mark iv. It’s pretty impressive how far small camera sensors have come and how capable phones can be for capturing things. Honestly, without looking close at the photos and after a little editing the photos turn out pretty similar. The obvious differences come in the form of 12 mp vs 36 mp sensors and the ability to have big glass at the end of the camera. I recently got the new iPhone pro 11 max and love the abilities of the wide angle camera built in. It has allowed me to leave the d4 at home and have multiple “lenses” in my phone.

https://petrolicious.com/articles/the-chinese-lynk-co-cyan-concept-car-has-just-broken-two-nurburgring-lap-records This article is a good representation of how you can make shutter speeds work to your advantage to convey speed or detail. Several of the images look blurred in the background with the car in focus giving the imitation of speed. Without this the car would just look like it was still on the track and the image wouldn’t make sense. The composition of the photos complements the car and points out details. Overall, shutter speeds can work to your advantage to capture the moment and make sense in the setting.

My name is Jacob Saunders. I am a senior at Rocky in my last semester. Did a little degree surfing before I found myself at Rocky. My freshman year I was in the engineering program at MSU in Bozeman then later transferred to MSU Billings for a business degree and Junior year found myself at Rocky in the aviation program and have been here sense. I dabble in photography and always have. Nature photography has never interested me as I prefer sports or portraits or things like planes and cars.
