Assignment 1

The assignment requires taking three horizontal images at the same location with different F-stop settings (F/5.6, F/11, and F/22) to demonstrate varying depths of field. Students must use a tripod for consistency and shoot in bright conditions to avoid slow shutter speeds. The final submission should include the images in a triptych format along with a brief explanation of the composition technique and post-production work in Lightroom.

Depth of field assignment

Take a series of 3 horizontal images in the same location. Each


will be in the same exact location with a different F-stop,
meaning each will have a different depth of field.

Location:

Somewhere BRIGHT, where we can judge the depth of field. So NOT


up against a wall, but where the background extends.

How to compose your shots:

Use a tripod to ensure your camera is in the EXACT same spot. You
can use 3 locations, but you MUST shoot all 3 settings in those
different locations. If you choose to do this hand in the best ones
Shoot HORIZONTALLY
If you are shooting another person keep it torso and face only - no
full body shots

This sounds easy right?

Most of us are used to shooting with a wide aperture, but when we


change that to a tiny one we are eliminating the vast majority or
light reaching the camera sensor. Practice makes perfect, when your
camera is in F/22 it will have a lower shutter speed to a point where
it might dip below 1/60s which will can result in a blurry photo

To avoid this:

The brighter the better! For the F/11 and F/22 raise your ISO so that
the shutter speed isn’t so slow. You may need to shoot in wider than
55mm so that light can come in. Be AWARE of camera settings,
especially shutter speed.

What should you see/ camera settings:

Shoot in A (aperture priority) not AUTO


ISO: your choice - play with it
Focal length: 55mm or wider
Aperture: 3 images one, at F/5.6, one at F/11, and one at F/22

Summary/ to hand in:

Hand in 3 identical composed images in different F values (F/5.6,


F/11, and F/22)

Hand these in on a google slide or google doc as a triptych grid with


a short explanation of what technique you used (composition), and
what you did in post production in lightroom
