In this lesson we looked at:Wide angle, normal and telephoto lenses. The differences in magnification of the different lenses. The pros and cons of zooms and primes. Lens perspective. Apertures and Aperture priority modes. Depth of Field. Lens perspective and Angle of View
The lesson assigned was: “F8 and be there..”*
In this assignment, we concentrate on the effects that different apertures have on our images. Using your camera’s APERTURE PRIORITY MODE, you will photograph scenes that have a subject (could be just about anything.. a friend, a house, a tree, a monkey riding a motorcycle…) and a background that is at least 10 feet behind your subject.
You may want to use a tripod some of the images, since they may be taken at a speed below your reasonable hand-hold speed. Remember to bring your images in to class next week for review. 4x6 inch prints are best.
1. With your camera set to Aperture Priority, and the largest aperture (smallest fstop number) you can get with your lens, take a photo of your subject. Make sure they are 10 feet or more from the background and that the lens is focused on the subject.
3. With your camera set to Aperture Priority, and the smallest aperture (smallest fstop number) you can get with your lens, take a photo of your subject. Make sure they are 10 feet or more from the background and that the lens is focused on the subject.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with different subjects and backgrounds.
*PF8 and be there is an expression used by some photojournalists. It means that being on the scene is more important than worrying about technical details.
The Cool Links were:
Fstops and Apertures
More Fstops and Apertures
Even MORE Fstops and Apertures
Perspective and angle of view
Just for Fun!
Wide angle eye-candy
Telephoto eye candy

For Ted and others who are interested in Macro Photography, here are some links to information on shooting macro and lenses:
Wikipedia (for an introduction to the terminology and concepts)
Photo.net (for more details)
Luminous Landscape (for an article that includes lens info)
