(M mode)  Picture with Low ISO and High ISO (image quality)

(A (av) mode)  Picture with Small aperture & Large Aperture (Dof)

(S (tv)mode)   Picture with Fast shutter Speed & Slow shutter Speed (motion).

Day 5- 
(write up on the observation of your practice shots).
add Qr code to your write up and print out.

Add Class exercise: 
Given the following scenarios, what are the appreciate settings for focal length, aperture, shutter speed and ISO? Lens used? 

        1) Beautiful sunny day and you want to take sharp image of a building from a close distance.

         ISO=           Shutter Speed =           Aperture=            Lens (Focal length)=
2) At a birthday party with candle lights only and you’re taking a picture of the cake 
          ISO=           Shutter Speed =                      Aperture=            Lens (Focal length)=
3) Early Morning, sun is not up yet and you’re taking a picture of the beach and you want everything to be in focus.   ISO=           Shutter Speed =         Aperture=       Lens (Focal length)=
4) You’re taking a picture of your significant other in a crowded place in the afternoon at 5:30PM near Times Square. You only want your subject to be in focus and everything else to be blurry.    ISO=            Shutter Speed=                    Aperture=       Lens (Focal length)=
5) You’re taking a picture of a Lamborghini in a racetrack with overcast daylight but want to give motion blur to everything else but the car.   ISO=        Shutter Speed =                      Aperture=          Lens (Focal length)=
6) You’re taking a picture of a ninja during broad daylight (assume ninjas are fast!)ISO=             Shutter Speed =             Aperture=       Lens (Focal length)=
7) You’re in your corner office on the 10th floor and you are taking a picture of your friend that works on the 10th floor in a neighboring building during broad daylight at 12:00PM.

            ISO=         Shutter Speed =           Aperture=      Lens (Focal length)=

Next week
Project 2:
ISO menu with various focal length (18-55mm zoom lens) on Food due October 30 with write up.

Take one in this setting. if the picture comes out too bright or too dark. you may NEED to make some adjustments to obtain a properly exposed photo without flash.
