The image is flipped by the mirror, then flipped again by the second mirror...



The Aperture!; The Aperture works like a human pupil, opening wider for aceptance of more light, or slimming to reject light.

Shutter Speed; Controls the speed of shutter, the quicker the shutter, the less light is allowed through, the slower the shutter, the more light is allowed through!...

Rule Of Thumb!: While Using A Handheld Camera You Shouldn't Got Below 1/25th Of A Second...

D.O.F! Depth Of Field; The wider the aperture, The smaller the depth of field,
the smaller the aperture the bigger the depth of field.

Tate Modern LIKE.

Title of piece: Table and four chairs

Name of artist: Robert Therrien

The piece was a huge set of table and four chairs, in darkwood, full scale but twelve foot high!

I liked this piece of art as it showed scale very well & it was very graphic and you could physically touch it and sit on the piece.
I Liked the look of the piece and it's accuracy to it's smaller scale true piece; a real set of table and four chairs.

My Photography History

My first camera was a Poloroid, I was very young and enjoyed capturing memorable moments. I have now lost that camera & now use my mobile phone to take pictures on the go, but i use my digital camera if i'm going on a day out. I love taking pictures of my friends, beautiful locations & wildlife.
