Well, It’s Tuesday morning and I have to say, it’s been a crazy busy last few days finding subjects for my photography assignments.
On Bracketing – This project is to help understand how to adjust F stops and shutter speeds and to understand under, proper and over-exposure.
While I thought I had my bracketing assignment “in the bag” yesterday morning. For some reason, I did not have something that completely satisfied me.
So last evening during the “golden hour”, I set out to get “the” shot.
The assignment called for:
- An object outdoors
- The subject can be anything large
- The background can be anything but it should contain areas of dark but detailed shadows and bright but detailed highlighted areas.
- Shoot in Bright sun (before 11 am or 5 pm on) This was taken at 5 pm
- A total of 10 shots of the same subject (over and underexposed)
The ISO was set to 100 and all camera settings are set for manual in this class.
I continued taking shots by underexposing the object by 1 stop (shutter speed)
One more shot underexposed by 1 stop
And another.
Back to the top. Now the process was repeated by starting out normal, then overexposing.
I used the tripod for this lesson (not necessary but so helpful)
Over exposed again by 1 stop
Again
and again
The assignments are all wrapped up and copied on thumb-drives ready to turn in tomorrow. This was a fun assignment. A true labor of love.
I’m taking a break from photography today.
It’s one of those fun “meet the hubby for lunch” kind of days.
And I think it involves a little food shopping and laundry too.
Have a great day!
