Today we are practicing changing the settings, in particular the aperture.
Practice changing the camera settings taking a series of photos utilizing a small and a wide aperture to show the difference in the depth of field.
Use the camera’s in built light metre and adjusting the shutterspeed and ISO to get a perfect exposure.
Using the cameras Manual MODE. Create a series of photos like below to illustrate the difference depth of field/aperture changes have on a subject in an image. Label them with the settings and add to your Visual Diary.
You should be able to see the clear difference from a deep focus/depth of field to a shallow focus/depth of field.
First practice with a row of cups in the classroom, I will then instruct you on a second location to test this out.
Suggested template for reflection:
- What did you learn from this task? (Use “I can…” as a sentence starter)
- What did you like about this task?
- What was difficult? (Use “I am struggling with…” as a sentence starter)
- How did you solve problems?
- Is your image successful, if so, why?
- What adjustments (edits) did you do to your image? (include before and after and camera settings if available)
- What else could you change if you had more time or resources?
