First, Second and Third Person Paragraphs

Third person paragraph: 
High degree of formality
Factual/ informative 
 Standard English
High socio-economic class A/B/C1


Teenage Male appearance is a topic, which is heavily overlooked. The metrosexual male is on the rise. In this day and age it is completely accepted for a male to call himself metrosexual and take pride in his appearance. Moreover, in comparison with 10 years ago, a lot more males are spending time, money and energy on looking good. It is apparent that the stereotypical ‘I don’t care” attitude is becoming a thing of the past.

First and Second person paragraph:

Low degree of formality  
Conversational in tone
Low socio-economic class C2/D/E

Guy Liner! Facial Cream!  Fake Tan! Seriously chaps, is this what it has come to?

Things are starting to get out of control, 10 years ago men wouldn’t have even dreamed about taking longer than women to get ready. Seriously if you don’t believe me ask your dad, I’m sure he’ll have a word or two to say about it.  Things do not just stop there though, it gets much worse. Did you know that, today, GENTS are more likely to take items like travel irons, hairdryers and straighteners on holiday than ladies.

Shutter Speed Pictures

            1                                                                                  2

Shutter speed in the length of time the shutter stays open when taking a photo, adjusting shutter speed determins how sharp the photo is. If you want to freeze movement in an image then you need to chose s fsst shutter speed. However if you want to let the image blur to show movement then you need to use a slow shutter speed. The actual shutter spee you should choose wil vary depending upon the speed of the subject in shot and how much you want it to be blurred.

I recently experimented with changing shutter speed. Morever, I took some pictures of my friend skipping with an electric glow in the dark skipping rope and photographs of that same friend waving a torch around in the air, these images can be seen above (images 1, 2 and 3). When taking these images i used a slow shutter speed to blur and show the movement of the skipiing rope and the torch, and as a result the above unique patterns were produced. Images 1 and 3 have been taken head on, wheras image 2 has been taken from a side view creating a different pattern.

I also took an images of my firend skipping with the skipping rope using a fast shutter speed. Using a fast shutter speed allowed me to freeze the movemnt of my friend skipping in mid air, the image can be seen above (image 4).
