Shutter Speed
The first photograph in this series is one that was taken using a fast shutter speed at probably about 1/1000'. The image was taken with a D3100 camera on S mode. I messed with the brightness levels in order to improve the image. In the photograph I am holding a spinning pinwheel about a foot away from the camera. The image was shot straight on. The pattern of the pinwheel and the darkness of my jacket appear to be very strong.
The last photograph in this series is one that was taken using the slowest possible shutter speed at probably about 1/16'. The image was taken with a D3100 camera on S mode. I messed with the brightness levels in order for the image to look more appealing. In the photograph I am holding a spinning pinwheel about a foot away from the camera, and the pinwheel is the only part that blurs. The image was taken straight on. The stripes on my shirt and the color of the pinwheel stand out against the rest of the photo.

Of these images, the one that I believe is the best is the right image in the middle row. This photo was taken straight on with a shutter speed of 6" on S mode. It is a photo of myself facing away from the camera and my friend Logan outlining me with a green glow stick. I think what makes this image so interesting is the way it looks like the edges of my shirt, head, and arms are glowing green.
Aperture
The first image of the two cameras were taken with an f-stop of 10 in order to create a shallow depth of field. The camera in the front is in focus and the second camera in the background is not in focus. The white balance was set on florescent but the coloring had to be corrected in photoshop. The ISO was set at 1600.
The third image of the two cameras was taken with an f-stop number of 14 to create a large depth of field. Everything in this image is in focus. The white balance was set on florescent but the coloring was corrected in photoshop. The ISO was set on 1600.
The first photo is better because the fact that the second camera is not in focus makes the photograph interesting. A large depth of field would be better when all, or more, aspects of the photographs are meant to be seen.
