On our field trip:
Take at least 10 different long shots that use perspective to depict deep space. This can be either converging lines or diminishing scale or both. These photos should use extensive depth of field meaning everything from near to far should be sharp. Shooting with Av, use f/22 as the f/stop.
Take at least 20 different closeups that use shallow depth of field. The subjects of the photo need to be at varying distances from the camera. Sometimes the closest thing should be in focus, sometimes the thing in the mid distance and sometimes the thing in the far distance. Make sure that your shutter speed is fast enough that the blur in the photo is shallow depth of field and not motion blur.
Put your 30 photos in an album on Flickr. Send your single best example of perspective and your single best of shallow depth of field to the class group.
