The shutter speed is the slow shutter and the fast shutter, the slow shutter gives more light in one second and the fast shutter gives less light in 1/1000 seconds, no slower than 1/25 for handheld cameras.

Depth of Field:
The lower the number the smaller the depth of field the larger the hole

The Image

The Image that I found interesting is a huge canvas with crayon and paint smudges created by Gerhard Richter, I liked it because it was showing the artists emotions and feelings, their feelings come alive in colours being painted on the canvas.


The second Image that I found more interesting is the Nude gallery with men and women standing about naked, created by Marlene Dumas, I liked it because it was about life drawing, the perfect versions of Adam and Eve, teenagers who are immature and still act like children might think of them disgusting, but a mature person might think of them as true works of art.

The tate image I liked

the two images that I was drawn to happens to be a huge canvas with crayon smudges on them, it was like as if a child could've drawn it.
I disliked an image of Paul McCartney's video about a naked doing something wierd to another man, it was really sexual abuse, violence and Reprogressing, a masterpiece made by Paul McCartney.

My Photography

I usually take a lot of photos of my cat, places i go to and the town, but my most photography of interest is the four seasons, i take photos of the Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer scenes.
I use disposable cameras because i can get them developed at the Chemists in no time at all.
