8 Q & A due at the end of the period. if you did not finish at the end of the period as extra credit to the lateness add your DSLR practice photos after Q# 8. Otherwise start reading CH 3.

if you are done early read Ch 3 

1.Explain how this Bokeh effect Portrait is an art work. What is the message here?

2.Does it contain an element of art? What about its Design principle? (refer to PPT #2)

3.How did you set up the lighting for this photo-shoot?
4.What kind of lighting did you use? (refer to PPT # 3)

5.How did you come up with the right setting for this picture? (the exit slip)
6.What was the type of lens used for this project? which focal length was best the Bokeh effect?

7.What did you find / learn from this art Project? 

8.What was your experience like working with a live subject?

ISO bracketing: and Project 2 - customize Test paper (print out over weekend - bring on Monday)

Did you take your Bokeh portrait photos (3 with f/1.4 & 3 with f/16 or just regular mode) you need to move closer and farther from your model if your phone does not let you zoom in or out in the portrait mode.

ISO Bracketing

                   Take in manual mode - keep the aperture & shutter speed the same while you change your ISO from 100 to 6400 on the DSLR. Upload to your PPT# 5 -slide 12 and download as a .JPG to upload to your photo album as photo# 51.

add this slide to PPT# 5 next week.

Project/Test # 2: Bokeh Portraits (picture taking part)

Wednesday we plan out the photo shoot for Bokeh portrait (exit slip), yesterday we are practicing taking pictures with the DSLR in Av mode.

Write up for Project # 2: Bokeh  effect Portrait  Due Monday 11/6/23 submitted with Print out.

based on your 18mm, 35mm, 55mm portraits (6 pictures) see Google classroom.

Taking pictures for Project/ Test 2 in your phone camera

Do now: 

Did you read and summarize the article on Bokeh portraits. https://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-achieve-nice-bokeh-in-plain-english/ try it yourself.

Upload your DSLR practice photos to your google photo album.

Label them without the numbers since they are practice. which yield the best Bokeh effect?

Practice shots 

f/22 (small aperture) set in 18mm - observation   vs.  f/5.6 (large aperture) set in 18mm- observation

f/22 (small aperture) set in 35mm - observation   vs.  f/5.6 (large aperture) set in 35mm- observation

f/22 (small aperture) set in 55mm - observation   vs.  f/5.6 (large aperture) set in 55mm- observation

extra credit - aperture bracketing...

Classwork: take pictures now with your phone. in both regular mode and portrait mode.  

* for portrait mode if you can't zoom then you need to physically move closer to your subject to achieve the zoom effect.  take headshot photo in landscape format so you can see the background being blurred out. 

Portrait mode blurs the background of your photo while keeping the subject in focus to create what’s known as a bokeh effect. This results in striking images that allow the subject of your photo (be it a person, an object, or a pet) to jump out from the background.

Portrait mode blurs the background while keeping the subject in focus.

A camera traditionally achieves this depth-of-field effect by changing the aperture of the lens, but your iPhone uses software magic instead. Clever algorithms find the subject of your photo and then blur the background accordingly.

Planning for Project Test 2: Bokeh portraits at home (Q& A tomorrow)

Do now:

 pls read and summarize the article on Bokeh portraits. https://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-achieve-nice-bokeh-in-plain-english/ try it yourself.

email your summary with phone pictures.

Classwork: pick up a slip or use your looseleaf write the answers to the planning Qs. 

submit exit slip at the end of the period.

Proposal and procedure for Project # 2

1.who is your model(s)? anybody outside of Photography class _____________________

2.how will you pose your subject? (posing video) take only from chest up "go close" and the background should be at least ___ feet away.

3.where will you be taking the photo? Indoor or outdoor

4.what kind of lighting? __________ reflector needed? Yes or No

5.what is your DSLR setting? what mode will you be shooting in? ____

6.how will you set up for each photo? upload to Google Photo

# 45abc- Control ( all clear and focus) aperture = f/ _____  ( take at 3 focal lengths)

# 46 a Bokeh at 18 mm max aperture= F/ __

# 46 b Bokeh at 35 mm max aperture= F/ __      Common F-stop = _______

# 46 c Bokeh at 55 mm max aperture= F/ __

(move in and out as you adjust the zoom on the lens to keep the subject same size)

#46 d Photoshopped  so its your ART piece. goto Edit and use the photo editor.
