The project, depth of field is so funny. The result of shallow depth of field is one of my favourite. For the photo with a shallow depth of field, I used a 50mm lens with an shutter speed stop in 0”5, the aperture stop in 4.5 and the ISO 400 to focus on the subject, which is the shoes with red bow, the shoe in the front are the main object, and the background is turn fuzzy.
I used 50mm lens again and select the aperture in 28 for the second photo, great depth of field. The quilt is my second photo’s subject. The reason why I chose the quilt to be my subject because the pattern is very beautiful and I think if I can took the photo clearly with my quilt, it would be great and that’s mean I already learned great depth of field.

I shoot this picture around 3 to 4 o’clock in the afternoon,  because I have noticed around 3 o’clock every afternoon, the visible sunlight will be project in my bedroom from the windows, probably  it is sunset. i choose oranges because I have a box orange in my home. I tried many different colour background, but finally, I choose my red square table. the reason why I choose this red table because I want the orange and the background mix together. I know colour red and orange are very close, but I mean to do it, because I want to use light to distinguish them. As we see the picture, it is work! The hight in the oranges are very clear, hard, and strong. but the light in the red table is very soft. The avocado, which behind the orange in the dark shadow looks like orange because the texture is similar with the oranges.

The project called MOODY FRUITS. there are many line shadow in the picture, it include a lot emotion.  I think this picture has lots story to tell, I can say few title, which are match the picture, such as,  I (AVOCADO) WANT TO BE A ORANGE, BULLY, LONELY, and so on.

SYNOPSIS:
Sue Flood is an award-winning professional wildlife photographer and author who has been working in the Polar regions since 1998, although her work increasingly takes her to warmer climes to thaw out. Sue spent 11 years with the world-renowned BBC Natural History Unit, fulfilling a lifelong ambition to work with her childhood hero Sir David Attenborough. Sue is passionate about the use of still and moving images to engage people’s interest in the natural world and regularly lectures on her experiences of wildlife film-making and photography to expedition travel companies, corporate organisations, as well as schools and universities, with the aim of inspiring people to protect the planet. Sue also enjoys guiding for tailor-made wildlife photography trips, including the Antarctic, Costa Rica, Rwanda and Zambia. Sue was delighted to be recognised in this year’s International Photographer of the Year competition, with awards for her book “Cold Places” in the nature book category, and also as runner up for the Travel and Tourism category.
This photograph comes from a series named ‘ cold places’, and the frame of it is main object in the middle, which is ice. The overall lighting style is hard but within little soft. The ice that in front of the photograph is belongs to the hard part. The background part is soft. Sunlight is the only light source in this photograph. The sunlight is come from down of the right side, which is a soft direct lighting that make the shadow unclear. The light make the photograph divides to two parts but looks the background and the main object is mix. And this picture give the feeling is cool. The cool feeling does not come from the main object, but also effected by the light, such as the dark shadow in the right part on the bottom. It is not hard to find out the photographer’s vantage point in this image was standing, because the photograph seem as eye-level. In this photograph, affection is Sue Flood wants the readers experience from her work, because in I did not find any special meaning, but learn many angel, lighting, and structure in this picture. The photographer took many different shape of ice. In this photograph, there are two kinds of shape of the ice, one is icicle, and another is lump.
