Month: October 2016

For this week’s photo challenge you will submit TWO photos of the same subject, a portrait of a person in their own  natural environment. One will have deep depth of field (highest amount of the image in focus) and one will have shallow depth of field (minimal amount of focus in the image.) For an example, check out these two photos at the top of this post.

The image on the left is shot at F4.5, which creates a shallow depth of field.

The image on the right is shot at F10 where everything is in focus.

TO DO THIS RIGHT, YOU WILL NEED A TRIPOD and the AV (Aperture Value) Mode of the Camera.

TWO practice photos will be due on Thursday, October 20st.

TWO final photos will be due on Monday, October 24th.

Submit all images via Google Classroom
