Motion Blur Portraits

Using the Studio Lights and a low Shutter Speed, capture motion as your subject moves through the photograph. 

Bring your photos into Photoshop and work with color, contrast, or even filters to add an artistic effect.

Extra Credit for anybody who models for us.

Water Drop Photography - Due Today

Today we will experiment with water drop photography.

You will need to use your technical skills plus hope for a little (or a lot) bit of luck.

Use a water bucket and lighting to set up the picture. On your camera, use a very fast Shutter Speed, Continuous Shooting mode and Manual focus to get the best picture.

Use Photoshop to Crop and fine tune the overall picture.

Bracketed Still Life

Take a Still Life photo using only 1 or 2 objects and studio lighting.

Bracket the photo.

Do this for 3 different objects.

You will upload 9 pictures total.

Here is an example:

Exposure Bracketing Using Aperture

To  be confident that you have captured the correct exposure in a film camera, use the following technique:

Exposure Bracketing using Aperture - Find the settings that you feel would give you the best range of values, shadows, mid-tones, and highlights.

For example, take the first photo with ISO 400, 1/60, f 8

Then take a picture using f 5.6 and another using f 11

Take 3 pictures and bracket each one. You will have a total of 9 pictures to post to your blog. Include the settings for each picture.

Find Correct Exposure Settings - Post to your blog

Soon we will begin to work with actual film, but first we need to find the correct settings to use with the new type of camera. 

So today we will go out and take 10 pictures with the digital camera. 

Set your camera to ISO 400, because that is the type of film we will be using.

we will also be using Black and White film, so I will show you how to set your camera to Monochrome.

Use at least 2 different lighting situations, such as outside bright sunlight, inside the building, or in a shaded area outside.

Using all of the knowledge that you gained from photo 1, choose the correct shutter speed and aperture to take well composed, properly exposed pictures, using ISO 400.

Upload the 10 pictures to your blog with the exposure settings for each picture.

When we start using the film cameras you will take the same pictures using the same settings.

Example:

ISO 400
Shutter Speed 1/60

Aperture f 5.6

ISO Review

Set your Shutter Speed to 1/250 and your Aperture to f 14.

From a window take one picture each at every ISO setting from 100 to HI 2.

Post the pictures to a blog post titled ISO. Make sure to label each photo with the correct ISO.

Elements of Exposure Review

Let's spend some time reviewing from Photo 1. Take a look at the Basics of Exposure.
