Stonebridge Farm Animal Contact Sheets
In this first contact sheet the first picture ("P1120123"), the picture is a little too bright, so I would have either had to lower the ISO so that the camera doesn't let in too much light or I could have lowered the exposure so that the picture is not bright, also the picture looks quite blurred so, again another reason to lower increase the shutter speed or lower the ISO.
The main ISO's I used whilst on the farm were 200 and 400, I think most of the pictures were taken with a ISO of 400.
One of the things I did that was good was in the 7th picture ("P1120130"), this was a picture of a bird, I'm not entirely sure what type/ species it was, but regardless: I think that this picture was a good one because: The image wasn't too blurry, it was nicely lit, not too dark so you couldn't see the bird properly and not too light (which would have caused the same effect). The contact sheet I am taking about is below this text.
In this second contact sheet, the pictures of the pigs ("P1120139", "P1120141") and the pictures of the cows (P1120143, P1120146 and "P1120147") are all blurred, I may not have had a very steady hand whilst taking these photos so next time I will have to hold still, or I could lower the ISO on the camera so that the picture doesn't blur.
I think that the 2nd picture in the contact sheet is good, it's a picture of a goat, the exposure is spot on, the ISO is fine (I think it was around 200/ 400), the zoom on the camera was fine and the the focus was also as you can clearly see what's in the picture. one of the pictures of a pig was good though in this contact sheet ("P1120139").
The contact sheet I am taking about is below this text.
The 4th picture in this next contact sheet ("P1120146") is not the best it could be, it is blurred (due to lack of focus), too light (due to high exposure/ ISO) and very hard to see what the actual purpose of the photo was... also in the 9th picture ("P1120152"), I appear to have made the mistake of cutting off the animal's head (either by accident or on purpose), so next time I need to make sure I aim my camera properly so I don't cut anything I might want out of the main picture.
I think that the 8th picture in this contact sheet ("P1120151") is a good image as the camera has been correctly focused, the ISO has been set correctly and the exposure has been set so that it's not too light or too dark.
The contact sheet I am taking about is below this text.
In this contact sheet the photos of the horses are great because all of the pictures are clear, you can see what the purpose of the pictures are, the ISO is fine, how far the picture is zoomed in is good too; also the exposure is fine too as the pictures are nether too bright nor too dim, not really much wrong about the contact sheet as a whole, maybe I could have zoomed in a little more on the 4th picture ("P1120171") to get a closer look at the horse itself, but like I've said nothing else need major improvement.
The contact sheet I am taking about is below this text.
In this contact sheet the photos of the pigs are a little clearer ("P1120165" ,"P1120166" and "P1120167) but the 3rd picture ("P1120166") has unfortunately been mispositioned and as a result, only the back half of the pig is showing... next time I will make sure to point the camera in the right place.
The 8th image in this contact sheet is also lacking in quality, from what it looks like, it's a little out of focus (a little blurred) but apart from that, the ISO seems pretty good (around 400 ISO) and the exposure seems pretty good too.
The rest of the photos seem to be great: the focus on them seems good, the ISO seems to be correctly set, the exposure seems to be correct and the camera also has been positioned correctly so that the part of the animal that I wanted to take has been successfully taken without any problems.
The contact sheet I am taking about is below this text.
The 3rd picture in the contact sheet below is not the best, I needed to position the camera better, so I could get a better shot of the cow's face- mostly it's eyes and horns, it also looks a little blurred so I may have had to have focused more or changed the ISO to a lower number (Faster), but I wouldn't have needed to change the exposure because that seems pretty good.
The picture I thought went well was the 1st picture in the contact sheet ("P1120174"), because I managed to take a picture of a sheep who seemed to be a natural poser!
I managed to focus the camera right as far as I can tell, I managed to position the camera correctly, the ISO seems to be correct, the exposure also seems to be correct also.
The contact sheet I am taking about is below this text.
In this contact sheet, the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th pictures ("1120188", "1120189", "1120190" and "1120191") all are blurred, due to the ISO being too high and they're also too bright, so i must have set the exposure at "+3" or something like that, i need to make sure I don't do something like that again.
The 1st and 2nd photos are pretty good, they're quite dark, but I think that the focus and the ISO are at a good setting, the rest of the photos- as far as I'm concerned I don't really have anything to say about them.
I managed to focus the camera right as far as I can tell, I managed to position the camera correctly, the ISO seems to be correct, the exposure also seems to be correct also.
The contact sheet I am taking about is below this text.
In this next contact sheet, I made a few mistakes with the photography, for example my 3rd, 4th and 7th picture ("P1120200", "P1120201", "P1120204" is blurry (most likely out of focus or because of the fact I had a high ISO) also, The 4th picture in this contact sheet is not properly zoomed in, I need the whole body and not just part of it.
The positives of this contact sheet are in the following picture; the 8th photo is a good photo because I managed focus the camera correctly far as I can tell, I managed to position the camera correctly so i could take a picture of what I wanted, the ISO seems to be correct, the exposure also seems to be correct also.
The contact sheet I am talking about is below this text.
In this next contact sheet, I may have accidentally taken a picture of a person (by accident), I
need to make sure I don't do that, or if I am, I have to make sure I have the person's permission (which I didn't have), also I seem to have set the exposure too high on all the pictures, they seem to bright in my eyes (I don't know if I'm just nit- picking but there you go).
Now I look at picture 6 ("P1120213"), I'm not exactly sure what I was taking a picture of, I think it
might have been me taking a picture of the calf sucking the udders of it's mother (I think).
