Large Depth of Field

To achieve this you will first of need to set your camera to M which is manual. Once you have done this you will need to set your aperture high between f15 - f20. If you have a wide lense then this may help you achieve this even more. Focus on the subject in the background for maximum effect.

Shallow Depth Of Field

In order to achieve this effect you must first set your camera to M which is manual. Once you have done this, the aperture must be set quite low between f4.5  - f7. Your shutter speed should also be set low to about 1/20 - 1/30. This stops the middle and background having any blurry movement in the photo. When you are about to take the photo, the main thing you need to be focused on is the closet subject to have maximum effect. You must also consider lighting as your shutter speed is set low more light is able to be absorbed in the frame.

Portrait Shots Using Different Lighting Methods.

Clamshell lighting - This is a process which involves using a very heavy amount of light whilst using reflectors and multiple soft boxes. With this process it allows the subject to be heavily lit sometimes from a certain angle. This is a useful method as when photographing someone who is old then it removes lines and wrinkles.

Window Lighting - This process using natural lighting usually through windows which creates a mood around the subject. Photography in this style is usually the most natural looking as you are using sunlight which is a natural source of light. The only problem with this method of lighting is it may be hard to capture in certain months due to the lack of sunlight in seasons such as winter which means you wont achieve as much if say you shot this in summer where of course there is alot more light in the day. A way in which you can change is by shooting around mid day where the sun is highest in the sky. 

Spotlight Photography - This process involves shinning light on a subject from a specific angle. This gives the photographer the ability to capture a feeling with only one light shinning upon them. Due to there being a lot less light in the frame it can make the photograph alot more moodier. The Spotlight is also handy for concealing certain areas within the frame, a simple example of this is negative space. 

Shutter Zoom

Shutter Zoom
With shutter zoom, the main thing to use and have is a zoom lens. Shutter Zoom priority mood is key and you should set your Cannon to TV use the toggle on the camera. Your shutter should be set to around 1/30 to 1/40 and your ISO between 100 and 200. To achieve this effect it is simple, when you are about to press the shutter simply zoom in with the lense, However, when zooming in, do not zoom in fully as this effect will be lost instead zoom in a tad and you this effect should occur. Try and keep the camera steady so the picture is as clear as possible.

Panning Shot

Panning Shot

Sport photographers use this to capture moments. The shot shows a moving object with the background blurred. On your camera set your shutter slow, with the together on your Cannon change the setting to TV. You also want your shutter speed to be about 1/50 to 1/40 and your ISO to 100 to 150. Change your zoom to manual as you will need to adjust it yourself. Keep the moving object into clear sight, move with the object. You should also take one before and one after the shot to maximise your chance. Practice makes perfect so go to different locations which have alot of movement.
