11.19 Aperture and Short Depth of field experiment/application

Good morning, photojournalists,

Looking at the schedule I published yesterday, we're going to have to change a few things. I'm not going to have you watch the movie, etc.

I'll publish the new schedule later today.

As for your assignment for today, HALF of you'll take pictures illustrating shallow/short and deep/long depth of field using the APERTURE PRIORITY MODE. The other half of you will be in the classroom. THEN tomorrow we'll switch.

People with cameras today:
1st hour: Mckenna A, Ryan C, Triston D, Weston E, Avery Go, Audrey J, Mariah M, Sydnie N, Samantha P, Ellie P, Rachel S, Lauryn T, Megan W.

3rd hour: Brooke A, Lydia B, Caitlyn M, Kaeleigh C, Kayleigh D, Hanna E, Margaret G, Michaela K, Brennah O, Ashanti P, Mackenzie R, Meriah S, Greenly W


People with cameras tomorrow:
1st Hour: Megan B, Derek C, Cora D, Avery Gi, Jillian H, Joey M, Cody N, Haylee O, Diya P, Juliana S, Sierra V, Shaylinn Y

3rd hour: Travis A, Kolton B, Sophie C, Skylar D, Emma D, Olivia F, Bethany H, Evan L, Brinn P, Brooke R, Hadley S, Bailee T, Emily W

You'll do basically the same thing you did with your photos in shutter priority mode, but I'd like to see you employ a little more art in taking your photos.

SO, grab a camera, put it in aperture priority mode, see me for help in how to do this, and take photos in the hallway with short and long depth of field.

Need inspiration? Yes, yes you do.

Here are photos with a short depth of field:
Short Depth of Field Photos
Think of setting up pencils on a table or photos of a laptop or the statues in the LMC or anything that you think your peers would enjoy a closer view of.

Here are photos with a long depth of field:
Long Depth of Field Photos
Now, I now we don't have cliffs or anything like that here at North, but think about taking long photos down hallways or out a window or something.

You'll need to do the same thing you did with the shutter speed as far as at least one photo with a short depth of field, at least one with a long depth of field, post them on your blog WITH THE SETTINGS (see the blog from OCTOBER 17 for directions on how to find them in PhotoShop), and discuss how the setting affected the depth of field.

THIS IS DUE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22ND AT MIDNIGHT.
