Final evaluation

To take these images i used a tripod, camera and Photoshop, the tripod ensured that the images were in focus and weren't 'wobbly' and i used Photoshop to create the black and white image, the camera settings for the image taken were 1/60th of a second shutter speed, f/5.6, ISO 560, the shutter speed meant that the image could be taken smoothly and had good focus on the subject, the f stop meant that the main focus would be on the subject and there wasn't any blur in movement, the ISO of 560 meant that the image wasn't over exposed when taken . These camera settings affected the photograph as they appeared smooth and with just the right exposure, I felt that by taking more images for the component could have resulted in a better final product so if i were to retake these images i would have taken between 10-25 images for black and white so that i could pick the best ones whereas i only took a few for this one. Also the tripod had an impact on the images as it was placed on uneven ground so in some cases the images have a slight wobble to them and therefore images werent completely focused
