Labor Of Love

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!

Blessings – Debbie
