Assignment #5 - Exposure Composition

Before I get into the actual assignment I just wanted to throw it out there that, yes, I did without realizing it delete the original photos from my camera so I had to take several new ones.

I should also mention that everything was very fickle and extremely slow (such as five hours to upload the photos only for it to tell me when 'done' that the file was too large) so I had to end up reducing the photo size by 50% before it would deem them acceptable and upload them.

Now to the assignment itself. 

With this assignment we went and took pictures of various settings, two light and two dark, with us end up having to choose one of each setting, one light and one dark. The photos were taken with various different exposure values, -2 to +2, ending up with five different photos that were to be put together in a collage of sorts like above.

I noticed that the lighter photo setting (the one on the right) was still rather clear even on +2 EV, while I had a very hard time trying to get the camera to focus on a dark EV +2.

While taking the dark -2 EV picture my camera still had a hard time focusing and would only focus with a decent amount of light. Even with 0 there was still a slight challenge. I also noticed that while having the same shutter speed throughout all the photos +1 and +2 of the darker photos (the ones on the left) were blurry and not as in focus as the others.
