4 pts. Due Sept 27, 12 noon. 30 photos in an album on Flickr.
Shooting outside during the day at a location of your choice:
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. If you are shooting with a cameraphone, achieving extensive depth of field will be easy.
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. Somethings the closest thing should be in focus, sometimes the thing in the mid distance and sometimes the thing in the far distance. Of course sometimes, its not a thing but a person.
If you are shooting with a cameraphone, it can be challenging to achieve shallow depth of field. Please don’t use an app or portrait mode for this assignment.
Get close to the subject and allow for some real distance, actual space between the foreground object and the background.
Put the 30 photos in an album on Flickr. Send your best photo with deep space and perspective to the group as well as your best example of shallow depth of field.
