Assignment 1
For this Introductory Photography assignment you are required to sign out a
camera and shoot some photos in and around the classroom and studio. Be-
cause we only have a few cameras, you will have to share a camera in groups.
Shoot lots of photos and then decide which are best when you view them on
the computer. Delete any unusable photos (obvious lousy, not for the project,
ect.)

1. Exposure
In groups (sharing the camera, but working on your own assignment) you will
take some examples of different exposures.
1. Put the Camera on MANUAL (M)
2. Turn the flash OFF.
3. Find a normally lit location (not a dark room)
4. Find a SUBJECT (a person would be best) and frame them so they fill the frame.
5. Take a variety of photos of them (in the same location i.e. don’t take 1 photo in the hall and then one in
the classroom).
6. Adjust the SHUTTER SPEED, the APERTURE, the ISO or whatever you can to photograph the following
examples.

TO PHOTOGRAPH
 at least two good (different subjects) examples of OVER exposure SHOOT MORE THAN ONE
EXAMPLE OF EACH so you
 at least two good (different subjects) examples of UNDER exposure have options when you view
them on the computer later.
 at least two good (different subjects) examples of PROPER exposure
Bring the Photos into PHOTOSHOP on a New Letter sized page. Place them
neatly on the page and label each - be sure to include your name, class, date.
