2. Write a short paragraph about how Sebastian Hidalgo uses framing in the photo above.

3. Create a photograph that has motion blur and a sharp background. Write a short description of what you did to create motion blur with a contrast of sharpness. Include your camera settings or what app you used and the settings of that app and how did you secure the camera so that the still objects in the frame were sharp?

4. Find a simple object (try not to pick anything glass or metal) and place it on a surface such as a table 2 ft from a wall or other plain background. Take two photos of it:

  • Light it from the front by placing the light near the camera position but so that there is no shadow cast on the back wall.
  • Light it from above angling the light so that no light falls on the background and the background becomes a solid black but the object itself is well lit.
