planning for Project # 2: Bokeh effect in AV mode

sorry students, I try to come in today, but this coughing is not letting up...
so today you will read this article on Bokeh effect for portraits and fill in the following chart for attendance and participation. Find someone NOT taking photography class for subject. you can even try taking pictures of your pet too. https://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-achieve-nice-bokeh-in-plain-english/
BOKEH = noun.  a Japanese term for the subjective aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas of a photographic image.

Below is a photo I took just the other day.  It is an example of an image with nice bokeh and how to use it effectively.

Annie Tao Photography bokeh example.

By blurring out the background, the entire image looks visually pleasing. You can’t even see she is standing on a sidewalk next to a parking lot!

    (do now) please send a short video review about the exposure triangle video we watched in class yesterday as your attendance for today. subj: AJS11-0__ Your name 10-24-19 attendance 


* watch this for  worksheet
Exposure triangle video


for classwork: answer the worksheet as the last slide for PPT#4. send link as EXIT slip.

Reference chart: Exposure triangle:


worksheet:
with Class exercise:

Given the following scenarios, what are the appropriate settings for focal length, aperture, shutter speed and ISO? Lens used the 18-55mm on Canon T-6. Try out your settings too.



        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)=



update your album when done.
