A Photography Blog: The Photography Institute Course - Module 2 First Creative Submission

Module 2 was all practical, the main focus points were ISO, Aperture, shutter speeds and depth of field, and how all of these relate to one another, each assignment challenged us to play with these settings and observe the changes, nothing completely new, but it was nice to actually test higher ISOs on my camera, something I haven't done extensively just yet, I will leave the details for a more technically themed post. Anyway on the fun stuff:

all the photos were taken using Nikon D600 and AF-S Nikkor 50mm 1.4 lens and Nikon SB - 700 Flash where stated.
