Name______________________________
When shooting this assignment shoot only in daylight, with the exception of 15-17 and 24-26. Set your
ISO at 200 or 400 unless stated otherwise. All images that do not involve bracketing should be
properly exposed using equivalent exposures. You will turn in all images on a disc along with this
sheet with your exposure notes. For this first assignment you only need to turn in jpegs.
DEPTH OF FIELD — Find or create a scene with a foreground (2-3 feet away), middle ground (5-15 feet
away), and background. Keep your focus and composition the same but change your f-stop.
Remember to shoot equivalent exposures.

Shoot a scene keeping the same aperture setting and focal length starting 3 feet away from the
subject you’re photographing. Moving back to 10 feet and finally 30 feet. Mark your exposure.

BRACKETING—Photograph a scene that is primarily white or dominated by a white subject or a black
object on a black background. Make the image with the appropriate meter exposure. Then,
overexpose and underexpose first by one stop, then by two stops. Photograph the results and mark
your exposures.

Set your White Balance setting to Daylight. Photograph three different scenes with different light
sources that are not the sun (Tungsten lamp, fluorescent, candlelight, computer monito etc.)
Remember to change it back to AWB (Auto White Balance) once you’ve shot these three.

Photograph someone with a light source behind them. Example: a portrait at sunset where the
person’s back is to the sun.
1st - meter the entire scene, take the image and mark your readings.

18 f/______ ___________
2nd – use the same meter reading and over expose it by one stop (N +1)
19 f/______ ___________
3rd – meter off the person. (walk up to the person or zoom your lens in, take a meter reading from
their face, use this exposure, return to original distance and take the shot).
20 f/______ ___________
ISO—For the next images you will be adjusting the ISO on your camera for each shot. If you have a
tripod, it is recommended you use it for the next 6 images. Photograph a scene in daylight, and be
sure to frame your composition the same in each shot.

This assignment will be turned in on a disc or flash drive. The first 26 images will be turned in as jpegs in
order. Title the files 1_yourlastname.jpg, 2_yourlastname.jpg, etc.
Shoot 10 additional images of your choice thinking about some of the creative controls you’ve
learned above, including depth of field (shallow or deep) and controlling motion. SUGGESTIONS:
consider framing, composition, selective focus, moments of exposure, and light and shadow. Play
around with shooting the same scene with different aperture & shutter combinations to see how the
images will differ as you adjust your settings.
