December 17th

Hello everyone!

Before Class:

Last class we learned how to take photos using the Aperture Priority (AV) and Shutter Speed Priority (TV). Today we will talk about ISO, and shooting manually. We will also discuss the P setting on your camera (which does NOT stand for portrait). While you are waiting for class to start, research what the "P" stands for on cameras. I would also like you to look up what "ISO" stands for, and post it on your blog.

Part 1:
We will watch the following video together:
ISO Explained

Part 2:
Today you will go out and take 5 photos shooting on the manual setting. You should adjust your ISO to an appropriate setting for your photo and you may use a tripod. I'd like you to take 5 photos that have a strong element of line. You can go anywhere inside the school except in a classroom, and you may not bother any classes that are in progress. After you have taken 5 good photos, bring them back and use iphoto to edit these and when you are finished, post them to your blog. With the photo, post the settings you used : F/8, 125th, ISO 800, etc.

Part 3: After you post your photos, please explain your experience shooting in manual (in approx. 5 sentences).
