Shutter and Aperture

Shoot a series of photos that demonstrate that you are in control of your camera's manual settings.
First pick a subject that is moving quickly. Shoot it using a range of shutter speeds to show blur and frozen action.
Next, pick a subject or scene that is visually deep or repetitive. Think of a row of houses or parked cars. Shoot the subject with a range of apertures to illustrate deep and shallow depth of field.
Remember equivalent exposures. For example, when you change the shutter, you must change the aperture to create a correct exposure.

Architectural Details


For Monday September 19th
5 shots of Tyler building
5 shots on Temple campus
5 shots off of Temple campus
This project will challenge you to find interesting images in the architecture around you. You will practice your compositional skills as well as looking for / waiting for the best light. Of course you will need to shoot many more than the five images per category listed above, but I want you to do your editing and processing in class Monday.

Stay Creative

http://www.todayandtomorrow.net/2011/06/05/33-ways-to-stay-creative/

Since we will not have class for a week, I don't want to to get stale. Stay creative!
This is a list I found at some point and thought it would come in handy one day. Use this list to create a collection of photos to use in our first few class exercises. Take pictures of yourself or your friends or just the things included in this list. Feel free to add creative practices of your own.
FOR EXAMPLE- You could have a picture of you sketching, your friend sketching, or an interesting picture of you sketch book. It's up to you. take multiple pictures of each creative activity. Please make sure that you try to be creative while taking the pictures.
Bring your images on a disk, hard drive or memory card next week and we'll get started.

Have a fun and safe weekend! Go to First Friday!! You are lucky to live/study in a City that has an active arts community. Take advantage of it.
