In the first image I used a low f-stop. This meant that the foreground was in focus and the background was blurred. Although the smaller f-stop meant that there was more light being let in, my camera compensated for this by adjusting to a faster shutter speed, this made the image darker. In comparison to the others this image should be lighter (because more light was being let in) however because of the shutter speed this is not the case.

In the second image I adjusted the aperture to 11. This meant that the appature was relatively small but still letting in a fair bit of light. In comparison to the first image more of the background is in focus but it is still not as sharp and clear as the foreground. Similarly to the first image the camera is compensating for the lack of light which is making the image lighter.

The third image has both the foreground and background in focus. This is due to the high f-stop. The camera has compensated by adjusting to a slow shutter speed and therefore letting in a lot of light. This is why the image is so bright despite the small appature. Without the slow shutter speed the image would of come out very dark.

for this strand i looked at structure within the face, i looked t the work of Arjan Benning. The photographer creates lots of portraits, and more specifically portraits where the face of the subject is obstructed. the objstuction aspect of his imagery is not what i wanted to look at but i wanted to look at the thing the subject was holding in front of their face in this particular image on the right. some of Bennings other work is displayed below

in this image the black splodges represent other memories that are replacing the one in the photo this is why I have made them creep down the picture gradually as in they are slowly submerging the memory.

Not only did this image depict order and disorder through its distorted appearance, the thesis behind the strand but the contrasting colours also shared those same connotations. i thought that the yellow and black were very striking and there opposite directions really gave the appearance that these were fighting in some way, further emphasising disorder.
