Motion:
To completely freeze action, for example in photo three, I used a shutter speed of 1/800, which is fast. I froze the action of the pinwheel spinning. The ISO settings I used were approximately 800. The white balance was fluorescent. For my photos, I was pretty close for all of them. The tools I used in the photos was the rule of thirds in most photos, and positive and negative space.
To blur action, I used a shutter speed of 1/3, for example in photo four. This is a slow shutter speed. I photographed the blur of the pin wheel. The ISO was about 800 also. The white balance was fluorescent still because it was taken inside. I was close up for this photo. The tool I used was the rule of thirds and the use of positive and negative space.

Painting with Light:
My favorite photo of painting with light is photo number 3. When the photo was taken, the shutter speed was on 20 sec. The ISO was on 400. In this picture, Kris was outlined with a flashlight. It was very bright at first, so I had to make it darker and turn up the contrast when I edited it. Also when I edited it, I took a black colored brush and went over the imperfections in the shape to really make it stand out. This is how I achieved a very strong effect. The photo has a very powerful impact, because it kind of looks spooky, like the figure could be a ghost. The viewer feels very amazed and intimidated when they look at it.
Aperture:
In picture 1, my camera was set on the f stop 5 to make a shallow depth of field. The ISO setting was around 400. The white balance was on fluorescent. In picture 6, a large depth of field is shown. The f stop was f/22. The ISO was on 800 and the white balance was on shade. I think that photo 6 is better because the lighting is perfect and the image is nice and crisp, how it was supposed to be. You would want to use a shallow depth of field to bring the viewers attention to a specific area. A large depth of field is good when you want a large area to be in focus, for example a landscape.
