Day 5: Oct 28, 2016 
slide #13
Add Class exercise:
Given the following scenarios, what are the appropriate 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 10
th 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)=

For this TEST project you have to shoot your " art piece" in Manual mode only.

set the camera in the following setting!

In Menu: set the image quality to RAW (NEF/CR2) + fine / L  and the ISO to 400 (light sensitivity).

In Aperture Mode : Adjust the f-stop to F/6.3

In Shutter Speed Mode: Adjust the shutter speed or exposure to 1/100 sec

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.

Upload JPG to Flikr.com as pic #30a-b
#30a: Test default setting - what is wrong with it?
