Aperture

2.8
4.0
I'm not sure that my subject or composition was the greatest for this excercise, but I had limited time so this is what I ended up with. I would love more suggestions on how I could have made this composition a better exercise. I also noticed that I am limited to 2.8 and 4.0 as my only options for aperture settings unless the camera decides. As in the previous post it looks like the setting can go as high as 8.0.

Metering

SPOT

CENTER WEIGHTED

MULTI

The aperture setting for all of these shots was 4.0 for the last two and 8.0 for the first (the camera decided because I shot in automatic mode).

March Assignment

I'm posting the assignment so that I don't have to dig through email to find it later.
1. In P-mode (or auto if you camera doesn’t offer P-mode) select a subject and take submit three photos each using a different metering mode (matrix, center weighted and spot).
a. Please indicate which photo used which metering mode AND for the spot metering indicate where you metered off of for your picture.

2. In Aperture Priority mode photograph a series of subject that have been lined up focusing somewhere in the middle of the series (say a row of crayons, focus on a crayon in the middle of the row). Fill your frame with the subjects and then take a picture using your lowest aperture setting (smallest number). For the second picture change your aperture to a little bit of a higher number and take another picture focusing on the same area as in the first photo. Do this a few more times while increasing your aperture setting between each picture.
a. Post three of your photos showing the change of the DOF as you increase your aperture setting – please indicate with each picture what aperture setting you used.
