Aperture
Choose a subject/composition and without changing the framed composition:
i) Change the aperture to brighten the subject.
ii) Change the aperture to darken the subject.
Shutter Speed Assignment
Choose a subject in motion and shoot it with : i) Fast ii) Medium iii) Slow Shutter Speed.
ISO Assignment
Choose a subject/composition and without changing the framed composition, shoot on 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400 (if available) ISO, maintaining correct exposure for each ISO setting.
Exposure
Choose a subject/composition and keeping the frame constant, change one parameter, one at a time :
i) Aperture, ii) Shutter Speed and Shoot at Correct Exposures
Focal Length
Choose a subject/composition and keeping the camera position constant in one place, shoot at Focal Lengths of 18mm, 24mm, 35mm, 55mm, 85mm, 105mm.
Use the same frame/composition shoot at Focal Length of 105mm and walk closer to the subject and reshoot the same frame that of 105mm, on 18mm.
Three vertical frames of tight close ups of frontal face of a person with Focal Length 18mm, 35mm and 55mm to understand distortion based on change of focal length.
Depth of Field
CHANGE OF APERTURE
Choose a subject/composition and without changing the framed composition, shoot on wide/large/full open/maximum aperture (min f no.) and small/minimum aperture (max f no.). The chosen composition should have clear foreground, mid-ground and background elements, making clear the difference aperture makes.
CHANGE OF DISTANCE
For the same subject from the previous exercise, decrease the distance to the subject, ie. get closer to the subject (at least half the distance). Take two pictures with min and max aperture.
CHANGE OF FOCAL LENGTH
Shoot an object with focal length 55mm, then move closer to the object and shoot it again at 18mm keeping the size of the object approximately the same in the frame.
White Balance
Choose a subject/composition and without changing the framed composition, shoot photos on different WB (Outdoor)
Choose a subject/composition and without changing the subject/composition, shoot pictures on different WB (Indoor)
