EC: AUTUMN LEAVES (One Class Manual Setting Practice)

DIRECTIONS. 

*Set the camera to M (Manual)

**Make 10+ images

TO DO:

1. Set the ISO appropriately.
2. Set the WB appropriately.
3. Open the APERTURE wide (small f-stop number) if you want an out of focus background.

4. Set the SHUTTER SPEED accordingly.

5. Develop in Photoshop and/or Lightroom (in color)

6. Post the final images to your site in a post titled 'AUTUMN LEAVES'

PHOTOGRAPHING.

How you arrange and compose your photos is open to your interpretation, but clever is better.

You may go about the project as a straight-forward landscape project. ...

Or, you could collect leaf textures using macro settings. 

You can approach it like a still life project: arranging the leaves as objects. 

Or you could think conceptually, and approach it like the environmental artist Andy Goldsworthy (click here for Andy).

REMEMBER:

*When the APERTURE changes, so must the SHUTTER SPEED and/or the ISO.
