The shot focuses on the flower and branch leaving the background blurred.

This first section was about just getting used to using the camera. My objective for the course was to "wean" myself off using the Auto settings or at least understand what was going on behind them in terms of Shutter speed, Aperture and ISO settings. During the course I've used both my DSLR camera (Sony DSC-HX400v) and a smart phone (Huawei Mate P20 Pro).

I wanted to capture a still of the waves crashing on the rocks off Bamburgh beach. It was a bright day so  ISO100 was adequate to achieve an OK exposure, and the shutter speed was reduced to 1/250 to achieve the "freezing" of the water.

The short shutter speed was required to counteract the bright sunlight and the low ISO. The shot was taken from approx 50cm from the ground to try to emphasis the perspective

Again playing with perspective, with the walkway centered but in the lower third and "disappearing into the distance towards the horizon.

This shot was intended to show the movement of the waterfall so a long shutter speed was selected

Taken on Sony HSC-Hx400v
1/200, f4.5, ISO 400
This shot was intended to "freeze" the movement of the waterfall so a shorter shutter speed was selected along with an adjusted ISO to maintain the exposure

f4, 1/30s, ISO100
Experimenting with a short focal length to blur the background and bring the single flower into sharp focus

A close shot, intended to study the natural form of the cut log

f/5, 1/25s, ISO100 resulted in an under exposed shot of garden ornament. I could have tried to recover in LR or retake the image with improved settings to manage the exposure (higher ISO or longer shutter time)

Taken in my garden, looks OK at first sight but actually the focus is just off making the main subject (the flower) just out of focus and some of the surrounding branches and leaves in sharper focus.
