In the second gallery, the photo to the right, are bubbles emerging from a sponge filter. This is the choice photo for a fast shutter speed reflection. The shutter speed was approximately 1/60th a second. The ISO was 100. The white balance was automatically selected by the iPhone X. The action frozen was the filter working. In order to not disturb current in the tank, the sponge filter mechanically filters and re releases water whilst releasing bubbles. The distance was roughly 5 inches from the subject. Point of view was straight on. In order to ensure the eyes are led throughout the photo the rule of thirds was considered and shot that way.
In order to purposely blur the second photo in the gallery of my betta fish, the live photo was changed to long exposure effect. ; Shutter speed was circa 1/4th of a second. ISO was at 100 and WB automatically picked by the iPhone. The fish is the blurred effect. Because he is constantly in motion, in the second photo it shows an effect of him moving upwards in a blur. Distance was just about 4 inches from the fish. Point of view taken was straight on.
The first photo represents a row of light near the top and two vertical columns to the sides. The shutter speed was on 5. The lights sticks were used to create it. This was achieved by zooming in and out within 5 seconds and panning left and right. The photo has the impact of a table. It makes the user truly wonder what the light is. It gives room for the viewer to interpret the light as they wish. It could look like a table, a tent whatever they wish.

Depth of Field Set One
Depth of Field Set Two
Reflection Question's answers 1. In set one photo two, it is a shallow depth of field. The foreground is in focus and that is my thermos with my name engraved. 2. The f stop was 4.2 3. ISO: 1600 WB: auto 4. In my second set photo one is a large depth of field. 5. F stop: 32 6. WB: auto and ISO: 1600 7. The Second photo is significantly better. The clarity and detail of the large depth of field captures an interesting scene that leads the mind on. The first photo's shallowness does not give the mind leeway to wander. 8. A shallow depth of field would be useful to capture the foreground for emphasis while leaving out the intruding details of the background. 9. A large depth of field would be better for capturing the entire scene in clarity.
