Unit Four : The Exposure Triangle
We learned about aperture and how it can be used to create different types of images. This week you will be creating (at least) two images using small and large apertures.
For the sake of this week, use Aperture Priority mode!
Shallow Depth of Field.
Take one photo utilizing a large aperture (small number) in order to create an image with a shallow depth of field. To fully see the effect, place your subject in between a foreground element and a background element. Your background and foreground should be out of focus, with the subject in focus.
Deep Depth of Field.
Take one photo utilizing a small aperture (large number) in order to create an image with a deep depth of field. To fully see the effect, have elements in the foreground, midground, and background. All three elements should be in focus.
Bonus: Advanced technique.
Take a photo using one of the advanced techniques discussed in the lesson. The idea here is to just experiment, so don’t worry about getting it exactly right! Just try it out and see what you end up with.
Include a short write-up of what you learned while adjusting your aperture to get your desired depth of field. As this is an experimental lesson, feedback will be focused on your ability to use your aperture to control depth of field. If you want feedback on another aspect of your image, please include that in your write-up.
