do the worksheet  due

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)=
