PART 1: Wed./Thurs. (In Class)
. Take a 4 photos of 4 different rough textures using a shallow depth of field.
- At least 2 different objects with ROUGH texture.
- Use a SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD, so more of the image is in focus allowing the textures to be emphasized.
*Distance from object effects the depth of field!
-Experiment with camera. Which mode/settings worked best for close ups (Landscape/Portrait)?
-If comfortable, you can try adjusting ISO, shutterspeed, and aperture. You can use the VSCO app. to do this. We will focus more on this in later classes.
