Week 3 Wrap-Up

Hiroshi Sugimoto, Union City Drive-In, 1993

Hi Everybody!

I hope you are having fantastic weekend!

We covered a lot this week--thanks for being up for the challenge!

This week we concentrated on manual exposure and refining our metering skills. If you aren't already, please shoot in full manual mode for the rest of the semester. It may feel clunky now, but I promise that it will get much faster and feel more intuitive very quickly, as long as you put in the time now.

We will revisit manual exposure throughout the semester, so don't worry if it feels a little unclear right now.

Keep track of any questions or difficulties that come up while working this way and bring them with you to class.

Now on to this week's homework:

-If you haven't already, post last week's assignment to the blog.

-Please shoot and post the following images, shot 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. Formal Portrait of a stranger

6. Candid Portrait of a stranger

7. Long Exposure at Night

If possible, please include your exposure (ISO, shutter speed, aperture) for each. If you aren't sure how to find this info, I will show you in more detail next week--we can always add this info to your post later.

That's it for now! Contact me if you have any questions.
