Aperture Priority Exercise!

PROGRAM MODE: I Like using program mode for the inside photos because i didn't have to change anything for the setting to make the photo look good. I also liked using the program mode when i took a picture of the teapot in the night conditions, because the flash automatically popped up. I like how program mode uses a shallow depth of field when i am really close on an object, like for example the sun.
 
Program Mode - Bright Daylight Conditions

Program Mode - Night Conditions

Program Mode - Indoors with Lights on

Program Mode - Outdoors with subject close to camera and the horizon in distance
SHALLOW D.O.F: This is my favorite mode. It lets the audience know what you want them to focus on. When i took the picture of the teapot in night mode, i couldn't really distinguish between a really large aperture and small aperture in the actual photo. I can really tell that it has a shallow depth of field in the pictures of the tiki mask and the sun.

GREAT D.O.F: I had great difficulty taking pictures of the tiki mask because the flash would keep coming on, once i took the flash off, the shutter speed was huge! It was really hard to get a clear picture. I think that the large depth of field is quite boring in the photo itself, it doesn't draw any attention to anything in particular.
