Week 7 Wrap-Up

Henri Cartier-Bresson, Games in a Refugee Camp at Kurukshetra, Punjab, India,1947

Hi Everyone,

This week we reviewed shooting in manual mode on our cameras.
If you'd like to take a closer look or need a refresher, here are a few articles for you to take a look at:

• The Ultimate Beginner's Introduction to Exposure
• A Comprehensive Beginner's Guide to Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO
• Perfect Exposure Every Time: A Guide to Metering in the Viewfinder

Next week is our second critique. You will be showing 10 new images related to your series. We will have some time at the start of class to organize images and to take a closer look at Camera raw and Photoshop. Please be sure to bring all of your files (as well as a hard drive or USB drive).

On to this week's homework:

• Continue shooting for your series, keeping this week's critique in mind.
• Post your favorite image from our in-class assignment and tell us which type of exposure you were wanting to show.
• Please shoot and post the following images, shooting entirely in manual mode:

1. Maximum depth of field (as much in focus as possible):
2. Minimum depth of field (as little in focus, besides your subject, as possible:
3. Blurred Motion:
4. Frozen Motion:
5. Long exposure at night:

Don't forget to include your exposure (ISO, shutter speed, aperture) for each. This can be found by looking at the "info" for each individual file, or by reviewing your images using the playback mode on your camera.

That's all for today. Please let me know if you have any questions!
