Photo 1 and Photo 2 Shutter and Depth of Field Work

 

Shutter and Depth of Field Final

What I need from you today:

Part 1

Shoot three photos of the exact same action.

All three-action photos should be properly composed and interesting to look at. Move the camera around and experiment with different angles.

·     Photo one should be too dark

·     Photo two should be perfectly in focus with proper lighting

·     Photo three should be too bright

Again, the photos must be unique and interesting.

Part 2

Two exceptional composed shots of the exact same (interesting) subject from the exact same angle and location.

·     Photo one is in focus, well lit, and has a shallow depth of field.

·     Photo two is in focus, well lit, and has a large depth of field.
