10 Images Showing Aperture

Aperture is an important step in understanding your photo abilities as well as the camera you are using. For this lesson I have the student focus just on their aperture and depth of field. But I know that this subject can get a little broad. So I created a few prompts in order to help get students hone their skills.



The Assignment
1. Portrait with shallow focus
2. Shoot down something 
3. Have the focus Blur in the Foreground 
4. Blurred Portrait 
5. Very obvious deep Focus
6. Color shift image
7. Temporary Foreground
8, 9, &10 your choice, be creative

Here are the slides from my example lesson.




If you need a refresher course on aperture, here is a pretty good video breaking it down.

And here are a few of the examples from the assignment. The student did a great job this year on this project, and I loved how these turned out.
