Manual Settings Class Assignment 2

1.Panning

You should shoot 10-12 SUCCESSFUL panning style pictures using shutter speeds of around 1/20-1/60. Shoot just like the motorcross photographer suggested.

Suggested activities to shoot: someone running across the field, someone doing back handsprings or other gymnastic moves, anyone playing catch with a football or baseball, and hackysack etc.  

2. Regular Action Shooting

Then shoot 10-12 pictures of moving subjects using traditional fast shutter speeds (usually 1/250-1/2000).
Have your subjects repeat the same action over and over.

 Suggested activities to shoot: someone running across the field, someone doing back handsprings or other gymnastic moves, anyone playing catch with a football or baseball, and hackysack etc.  

3. Depth of Field Practice

Put the camera in AV (aperture mode).

Shoot 10 Shots of the exact same subject from the exact same angle.

Adjust the Aperture from low to high between each shot.

I would suggest shooting a flower or tree with something else in the background.

You will turn in three Contact Sheets at the end of the period named Panning, Action, and Aperture.
