Description: Please pre-view the website on photographs of aperture and shutter speed. In this assignment, you will explore the relation between aperture and depth of field. The objective of this assignment is to get you familiarized with aperture and shutter speed, so you are not required to shoot anything fancy. You can start shooting something as un-fancy as a bottle. Several bottles one behind the other is even better.
1. Using the greenhouse, set up three plants in a row. Focus your camera in the middle.
2. Using your shot sheet record decide on six aperture settings from f2 to f28.
3. Set your camera to aperture priority. Then as you shoot on each aperture setting, record the shutter speed setting. Note what is happening each time you take a photograph. (Is the shutter speed staying open for a long time? Why?
4. After you finish, download your photographs, keeping them in the same order. Then transfer them to a keynote. On each slide, note the aperture and shutter speed. Answer the following questions on one of your slides:
1. What is happening to your photographs as you go for f2 to f29? Why?
2. Why are some of your shots blurry?
3. Which photographs are in sharp focus? Why?
4. What do you notice is happening to your foreground, midground and background as you increase your aperture? Why?
5. Any other observations?
