Activity 4.2: Photography Set A

Set B

Set C

Questions 1. Set A A. Did the photographs depict the entire room? -

The photographs depicted the entire dining area.

B. Did the photographs depict the appropriate colour of the walls ceiling and floor? -

As seen in the photographs, the ceiling is white and the walls are grey. The photographs are true to real life.

C. Did the photographs depict the details within the room that you could see with your eye? -

In the photographs, the pattern of the floor tiles as well as small items within the area can be seen.

2. Set B A. Was the room completely dark? -

The room was not completely dark, there was very little light in the room.

B. Was there a visible quality difference between these, and the Set A photographs? -

Unlike Set A, this set of photographs did not depict any useful information about the room since the room was very dark.

C. Was there a focus problem? -

There were no visible focus problems since the photographs are very dark.

D. What did your camera see in the shot? -

Only some things could be seen such as, the light peaking through the blinds of the sliding door, the chairs, and a light coming from an area away from the dining room.

E. How would a tripod improve your photograph in this situation?

-

A tripod would make the photographs more stable and the angles would be identical to the other sets of photos.

3. Set C A. Did the photographs depict the entire room? -

The photographs depicted the entire dining room.

B. Did the photographs depict the correct colours of the walls, ceilings, and floor? -

In this set of photos, the colours of the walls, ceiling, and the floor are slightly darker than they are in real life.

C. Did the photographs depict details within the room that you could see with your eyes? -

The main subjects of the photos could be seen. However, details such as the scratches on the table cannot be seen unlike in Set A. Smaller items are not as clear as they appear on Set A.

D. Did the photographs depict everything in focus? -

Bigger items and items closer to the camera such as the table and chairs were on focus. However, items that are in the background cannot be seen clearly.

4. Set A (Photos taken in the lightened room): Based on your course readings, and if you were using a professional camera with a quality lens, what improvement could be made to your images. Explain how you could adjust your shutter speed, aperture and ISO settings to capture the entire room, correct colours of the room and have all the important details in focus. -

If a professional camera was used, the photos would have been higher in quality. A faster shutter speed would have resulted in more stable photographs. The aperture of the lens could have been manipulated so the clarity of the photos would be better and smaller items would be seen clearly when the photos are zoomed in. Lastly, the ISO settings on a

professional camera would have allowed for brightness adjustment and capture a more accurate representation of the colours of the room and items as they are in real life.

5. Sets B and C (Photos taken in a darkened room): Based on your course readings, and if you were using a professional camera with different quality lens, what improvement could be made to your images by making adjustments to the camera? Explain how, in a dark room, using a tripod, you could adjust the camera’s aperture, shutter speed and ISO to see the entire room with correct colours and have all the important details in focus. -

Sets B and C would have produced better photos if a professional camera had been used. Adjusting the aperture could have been adjusted so that the main subjects as well as the background are in focus. A slower shutter speed would have been useful when taking the low-light photos for Sets B and C as it would have allowed more light into the camera. Furthermore, the ISO could have been used to adjust the brightness so that the photos can be bright enough to see the items in the room and accurately so. Moreover, if a tripod had been used, the photos would have turned out more stable and less blurry.

6. In your opinion, is a mobile phone camera of sufficient quality to be used for forensic documentation? -

In my opinion, mobile phone cameras should not be used for forensic documentation. They might be able to capture bigger and closer items but they lack the features that professional cameras such as, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings. These features allow adjustments that produce well-lit, stable, and clear photos. Crime scene photography plays an important role in scene documentation and investigation, mobile phone cameras should not be used so as to not risk having unusable photographs.
