Assignment 1&2

1. Learning to take great photographs takes practice. Choose one subject and take at least 25
pictures of the subject (an object, person, animal, building, etc.). If you use a film camera, you
can take fewer pictures, but if you use a digital camera, try to take at least 25 pictures and even
more if possible for practice. Submit three of your favorite photographs from your practice
activity.

2. Take two photographs of the same scene, person, or object using different focal lengths. Include
a brief note with your photographs about how the image changed depending on the focal length
you chose. [If your camera does not allow you to change the focal length, this activity by
adjusting one of the other settings on your camera]
(the focal length is shorter and the image appeared smaller)

(the focal length is longer and the image appeared larger)

3. Use two different modes on your camera while photographing the same subject. For example,
you might take one with a portrait mode and one with an autofocus mode. If your camera only
has a manual mode, try taking one out-of-focus picture and one picture that is in focus.include a
note saying what the modes are. [Some students try settings for sepia, negative, etc.]

(normal camera) (portrait camera)


4. The amount and quality of the light influences photographs. Take several photos of an object in
different lighting conditions. Turn in at least three photographs of the object that show different
lighting. For example, you might photograph an object in midday sun, in the shade, indoors, under
fluorescent lighting, and at dusk. Include a note saying what the lighting conditions are.

(photo of an object in midday sun) (photo


an object under fluorescent lighting )

(photo of an object in the shade)

Assignment 2

1. Practice taking some nighttime photographs. Submit two of the photos that you took.
2. Find a scene or object that you’d like to photograph. Take the photograph using three different modes
on your camera (even ones that wouldn’t be ideal for the photograph, such as a landscape mode for a
macro shot). Include a brief note saying which modes you used when you submit the photos.

(landscape mode) (manual mode)

3.Take several photographs of the same scene, but change the aperture setting for each photograph.
Submit three photographs with different aperture settings. Be sure to note which settings you used. [If
your camera does not allow you to adjust the aperture, use one of the other settings on your camera
and say what you used.]
(higher aperture)

(lower aperture)

4. Take several photographs of the same moving object, but change the shutter speed setting for
each photograph (the object could be a skateboarder, waterfall, pet, etc.). Submit three
photographs with different shutter speed settings. Be sure to note which shutter speed settings
you used. [If your camera does not allow you to adjust the shutter speed, mention that in a
note, and submit all three photos.]
(fast shutter speed 1/500th of a second)

(long shutter speed)

(slow shutter speed 1/100th second)


5. Choose one camera mode and practice taking photographs that the mode is best used for.
Submit three photographs that you took using the particular mode. The photos do not need to
be of the same subject. Include a note saying what mode you used.
(auto mode)
