Technical Assignment (Aperture):
Post this assignment to THIS FORUM, by creating a new topic.
Ask questions about this assignment HERE.
1. Take two pictures of the same subject with the same composition. One – with the biggest aperture your lens has and one – with smallest.
2. Please use tripod if you have one. If you don’t, try to get your composition on both photos as close as possible. It is logical that you will have more luck with something what is not moving.
3. If you don’t use tripod, it is a better idea to take your photo outside, so you have enough available light.
4. It is important that you have your subject on the foreground. Background should also be visible in the photo. Make sure that you focus on the subject on the foreground in both pictures.
5. To make it easier – use Aperture priority mode, with which you can control your aperture. If you don’t know about camera modes click here: Aperture Mode
You just need to turn your camera dial to A (in Nikon) or to Av (in Canon). Then you can just change your aperture with aperture dial and camera will adjust your shutter speed.
6. Don’t make any post processing to the picture besides resizing, so we can see what different lenses are capable of.
7. To make it even more fun, let the subject be something telling us a bit about you (maybe connected to your job, hobby, place were you live, family, anything…).
The other members will have to guess, what do you want to tell with your photo.
8. Post your photos to this forum, by creating a new topic. Don’t post your photo as a reply in the topic somebody else created. You can only comment on their assignment.
9. Also don’t forget to post what camera and lens you used and what were your aperture settings.
Good luck and I am looking forward to see your pictures. If you have any question about assignment please post here.
