The next challenge will drive home depth-of-field. Some kids modeling clay and a deck of cards.
Place a ball of clay, about 1/2 inch in diameter on the floor. With a tape measure, space 9 additional balls of clay 12 inches apart. The idea is a line of clay balls (straight line). Use some care laying this out. It's OK
once you get a feel for what we are doing to use more clay and make a longer line. Each balls of clay is to receive a playing card, the clay is the base to hold the card upright.
Now you have a line of playing cards, focus on the center card. Compose so that all the cards show up in the photo. A camera on a tripod works best. Focus with care on the center card. Now shoot a series using every f/stop. The shutter speed will change for each shot. This challenge will give you a better feel for depth-of-field. Note that depth of field extents 2/3 away from the card focused upon and 1/3 back towards the camera.
Here are some of my pictures that I took (I will note the f/stop that was used) .
f/1.8
f/4.0
f/9
f/22
You can definitely tell the depth difference in the depth of field.
Week #3 Critique
Glad you got it! The only other way is a dulling spray that is difficult to
apply and difficult to remove
