Assignment #8

Aperture

For this assignment we will explore the Aperture setting on your camera.  The setting will determine how much of your photo is in focus.  If you do not have that setting available (check your manual) you will still be expected to know the information and attempt to complete the assignment.  Go to http://sites.google.com/site/biowbiow002/twopeas_12week and select the first lesson titled aperture.  This will bring up a PDF document that contains some information and an assignment. 

The assignment is located in the PDF link.  The first thing you will do is locate the manual for your camera (search online if you do not have a hard copy) to determine weather your camera has adjustable f/stop settings.  Next the details of the assignment are located on page 3 of the above mentioned link.  Take the 3 pictures, I would try it with 4-5 different subjects (12-15 photos total) so you will have at least one good example, and post them similar to page 4 of the instructions.  Post your pictures to the blog and list the settings that your camera was set to for each picture.

Your post should contain:

• Three to five pictures of the same subject using different f/stop settings.
• An explanation of what setting was used for each picture.
• An explanation of the subject in the photograph.
• Due 27th of March.
