Camera settings I used

The picture of the crucible I lowered the angle in which i took it so as to give a more powerful feel to it,  i also used the reflection and bars on the windows to make leading lines onto the higher up name of the crucible

This photo I used a long exposure time in order for all of the light to travel into the camera lens, I also wanted to use a long exposure in order to show the passage of time


This photo i tried to create a shallow depth of field and only the close items being in focus, this photo was also there with leading lines into the distance


In this photo I focused on using leading lines with the rail tracks leading on to the future


This photo i took using the rule of 3 in mind, each of the towers works as a line breaking up the picture into 3


This photo I took at a lower angle to again give a feeling of power or higher being


When taking this photo I used leading lines to draw the viewers eyes into the middle and the big building


This photo I attempted to use leading lines which draw your eyes round to the building in the distance, but also i used a shallow depth of field to slow down the image almost and give a strange feeling of motionless


The picture i used leading lines along the rail moving along onto the tracks at the bottom


This photo I used the rule of 3 with the big balls and also a lower angle to give once again a feeling of power and done


This final photo I took in the moment and felt that the bollards were almost splitting the photo and the tunnel gives a sense of focus and something moving into them




What all of the settings mean:

In traditional photography ISO was the indication of how sensitive a film was to light. it was measured in numbers (you've probably seen them on films - 100, 200, 400, 800 etc). The lower the number the lower the sensitivity of the film and the finer the grain in the shots you're taking

In digital photography ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. The same principles apply as in film photography - the lower the number the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer grain.


Shutter speed is the speed in which that the shutter closes and reopens allowing light to enter the camera, the longer the shutter speed on the camera the more light is allowed into the lens, it also will
also cause the image to be blurred because things will have moved since the initial lens shut went off. An example of this would be in sports photography you need to have a quick shutter speed so that you can get a crisp photo of a fast moving object 

Aperture is the size of the iris inside the camera, the lower the aperture then the bigger the iris and so more light is let into the camera, opposing this if the aperture is a bigger number then iris is going to be smaller and let less light in.
