The series of pictures features a tractor in daylight with varying apertures and shutter speeds. In
the first set, the aperture is adjusted from f/4.5 to f/10, while maintaining a constant shutter
speed of 1/250 and ISO of 100. This series allows for the observation of how changes in
aperture affect depth of field and overall exposure.

At f/4.5, the widest aperture, the tractor appears sharply focused against a slightly blurred
background, showcasing a shallow depth of field. As the aperture is narrowed to f/5.6, f/7.1, f/9,
and finally f/10, the depth of field gradually increases, resulting in greater clarity and detail
throughout the image. The background becomes progressively sharper, enhancing the overall
composition and visual impact of the scene.

Conversely, the second series explores the impact of varying shutter speeds while keeping the
aperture constant at f/4.5 and ISO at 100. With shutter speeds ranging from 1/250 to 1/800,
each image captures the tractor with varying degrees of motion blur and exposure.

At the fastest shutter speed of 1/800, the motion of the tractor is frozen in crisp detail, resulting
in a highly defined image with minimal blur. As the shutter speed decreases to 1/500, 1/400,
1/320, and finally 1/250, the motion blur becomes more pronounced, especially if the tractor is in
motion. This series demonstrates the importance of shutter speed in controlling motion and
capturing dynamic subjects with clarity and precision.

Together, these series of images highlight the dynamic interplay between aperture, shutter
speed, and ISO in shaping the final outcome of a photograph. By manipulating these exposure
parameters, photographers can exercise creative control over the visual elements of their
images, resulting in captivating compositions that convey depth, movement, and emotion.
