Week 1

Task 1- Playing with depth of field, law of reciprocity and f-stops.  I had to definitely use a tri-pod for a few of these....way too much camera shake.

f 22, ss 1.6s , iso 200
f 9, ss 1/4, iso 200
f 3.5, ss 1/25, iso 200

Task 2- Playing with manual focus at AV, f 3.5, iso 200.  The idea was to head outside and find a straight line and focus on different points.  I often get so caught up in taking pics of people that I was surprised how much I loved inanimate objects....they definitely are more patient 'models'!

Task 3- to create a still life and to use 3 distinctly different settings to create a different feeling in each one.

f 4, ss 1/20, iso 800-  I quite like this one.  Bright, a bit grainy.  The background is blurred but the 'critters' are still sharp....minus my little bit wonky focusing....aw...the learning curve!

f 1.4, ss 1/60, iso 100-  The image is still nice and bright.  Though not everything is sharp....like the bokeh.....it draws attention to the word snow....

f 2.5, ss 1/20, iso 400- A much darker exposure....I like the contrast with the white snowman and darker background.  Not sure if it's technically okay but I do like the shady feel to it.
