Include 2 examples of this person’s photography. 

Exposure Bracketing Using Aperture

To  be confident that you have captured the correct exposure in a film camera, use the following technique:

Exposure Bracketing using Aperture - Find the settings that you feel would give you the best range of values, shadows, mid-tones, and highlights.

For example, take the first photo with ISO 400, 1/60, f 8

Then take a picture using f 5.6 and another using f 11

Take 3 pictures and bracket each one. You will have a total of 9 pictures to post to your blog. Include the settings for each picture.

Find Correct Exposure Settings - Post to your blog

Soon we will begin to work with actual film, but first we need to find the correct settings to use with the new type of camera. 

So today we will go out and take 10 pictures with the digital camera. 

Set your camera to ISO 400, because that is the type of film we will be using.

we will also be using Black and White film, so I will show you how to set your camera to Monochrome.

Use at least 2 different lighting situations, such as outside bright sunlight, inside the building, or in a shaded area outside.

Using all of the knowledge that you gained from photo 1, choose the correct shutter speed and aperture to take well composed, properly exposed pictures, using ISO 400.

Upload the 10 pictures to your blog with the exposure settings for each picture.

When we start using the film cameras you will take the same pictures using the same settings.

Example:

ISO 400
Shutter Speed 1/60

Aperture f 5.6

Photography 1 Review

Today we will continue taking photographs as a review from Photo 1.

Take the following photographs :

• Freezing Action
• Motion Blur
• Deep depth of Field
• Shallow depth of Field
• Bugs Eye Perspective
• Vertical leading lines
• Texture
• Repetition
• Emphasis
• Rule of thirds

All photos must be in focus and properly exposed. 

Label each photo and include the settings for ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture for every photo.
