Manual Photography

In this workshop, we had to change the F numbers and the aperture manually. The type of camera we had to use was a Nikon D30. I order to get a good picture, we had to think of the shutter speed, aperture and what our focal point should, or was in the image.
Some of my images were a little bit too over-exposed, such as the 4th and 5th. I could improve those two by changing the shutter speed. By increasing the shutter speed, the lens wouldn't of allowed so much light through the lens, which would change the over-all image, it would've made the colours more vibrate and the focal point would of been more focused.
The 1st image, wasn't awful, but I feel like, there should have been more the in background in order for it to be the focal point. The aperture stayed in F/5-6 through-out all my photos. The shutter speed was on 80. I could of improved this image timing it better, waiting for something better in the background. I like this image, because of contrasting colours of Lily's hair and the trees in the background.
My favourite images were 2nd, 3rd and 6th. I think the focal points were focused well and I think the photos weren't too little, or too over exposed.
