This is a photo I took last month but it's a good example of using aperture to focus on the flower, blurring the background. The shutter speed isn't too fast, therefore the actual flower doesn't look too detailed, it has a slight blur.

The frame easily makes the pretty flowers a focus point, despite the green within the frame and around. The colour of the flowers helps them to stand out.

Rule of third using a higher aperture to capture the doorway in a good/clear quality, making it the focus point. High ISO due to the natural light restricted by the flowers covering the windows. Gives a 'light at the end of the tunnel' effect due to the focus and light entering mainly from the doors.

I liked the colours of the leaves and the contrast with the fence behind. I wanted to focus on a section of the bush - the out of focus frame seems to help make the focus more on what is inside and not getting too distracted by the outside.

I loved the variety of colours and contrast in this photo. Especially the green leaves through the window/door. There is a lot going on which I think gives it character. There are so many details you can focus on, from the different plants to the chain hanging down against the door frame.

I love the finer details, like the artwork on the coffee and the different shades of brown and white. I added a grain texture to give a bit more of a rustic look/feel. It's giving me a very cosy vibe, all you need is a good book!

A close up on the beautiful details that can be seen on the snowdrop flower. I particularly like the different colours and textures.

I love in the moment photos. London is the place where nothing ever stands still. I liked the movement you can see in this photo, creating a slight blur on the moving train. Making the photo b&w created a nice contrast of the features within the photograph.

I loved capturing this little boy living in the moment, chasing the birds with his sword. There is a lot that you can take from this photo, from the birds standing still, some taking flight, to the beautiful architecture in the background.

Had to squeeze in a cat photo. The light was shining through into Bruce and created a nice contrast with the dark background. I like how he stands out in the sunshine.

A photo taken at the Grasse Festival in France, shot on iPhone. I loved the typical Haussmannian style buildings in France and how the pink umbrellas stood out against the yellow and orange colours.

Looking at the area from this point of view, the tree was a stand out focus. Adding the frame really emphasised this.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the close up of the leaves, the fact that within the frame you can see the finer details, and outside the frame the image is blurred to make the framed image more of the focus point.

I really liked the shaped in this photo, the rectangle door, the stripes on the floor and the triange roof. Though my angle is a bit wonky and I've cut out the edge of the triange which take away the sharpness of the image.

The building structure in the centre (background) of the photo stood out to me. With so much going on within the scene, you get more detailed perspective when adding the frame.

Had a go at some long exposure shots. Using the settings noted above. I used two phones with the torches on and made the shape of a heart (using self timer so I could get into shot). Using a lower aperture to allow more light, slower shutter speed to capture the movement of the light and ISO set low to reduce light sensitivity.

Using a lower aperture to allow more light, slower shutter speed to capture the movement of the light and ISO set low to reduce light sensitivity. Using the slow shutter speed I was able to create the word 'smile'

I used a shutter speed of 1/400 to achieve an image that would not create a distracting blur (using hand held and not on a tripod). I wanted to make sure that my friends in the shot were in focus/sharp but also capture slight motion of the confetti. The shutter speed was perfect for achieving this. Standing close to the action shot, I used aperture F4.5 but wondering whether I should have used something more like F22?

Using a fast shutter speed, I was able to capture more movement of the water in higher quality/detail as it pours of of the glass. You can see details in the ripples. If I had used a quicker speed. The light from the window also bounces/reflects from the water pouring, creating a focus point with an aperture of F5. You can see that the background is blurred due to the low aperture. It was naturally a low light shot which is why the ISO is set so high to accompany the quick shutter speed.

I wanted to see the difference in the motion of water using a slower shutter speed - clearly when taking images of water (depending on the shot), it needs to mainly be a quicker shutter speed to capture the movement and the details. It also appears that the image is focusing on the edge of the bath instead of the moving water due to the aperture being slightly bigger.

# data[].attributes.body
Tested a shot of my cat jumping up towards me (the camera) so I used a quick shutter speed to capture the details quickly, but a lower aperture which creates great detail and focus on Asti's face, including her eyes and whiskers. It also blurs the background noise to show the focus point better. High ISO as there was no natural light and with Asti's fur being dark, more light was needed to highlight her face.

Focusing on water again - slower shutter speed created a mixture of blur and focus on the droplets of water.

# data[].attributes.body
Using a much quicker shutter speed, the water droplets look like they have been photographed in slow motion - giving the frozen look to pick up on more detail. Low aperture and high ISO to compliment the subject in focus.

1/400, f6.3, ISO6400 | This took a lot of test shots, trying different settings on the camera but finally got the perfect angle and focus. I love the close up, the details on her face including her eyes, markings and whiskers. The blurred background also creates a more artistic/creative look.

1/250, F5.6, ISO1000 | Wanted to test the quality of my camera by taking close ups of the rain droplets. I love how you can see the details on the leaf, the different colours and textures too.

# data[].attributes.body
1/250, F4.5, ISO800 | My favourite with the rain droplet subject. I like that the photo focuses so much detail on this one leaf but you can still see the others in the background, it sets the scene. I also love how my attention focuses on the biggest rain drop. I intentionally locked the focus on this area to really pay attention to the droplets.

# data[].attributes.body
1/250, f5.6, ISO800 | I love the colours and textures, I also feel like the rain droplets make create a strange looking texture - it oddly makes me think of a dinosaurs skin/texture?!
