We will be looking at light. Photographing light. What hides in shadows, what makes your eyes squint. Photograph the things in the world that you can't touch, or see. Stop where it's warm or where it's cold and make a photograph. How is the temperature changing the light, if at all? Re-visit the same scene throughout the day.
Set your camera to the following:
- lowest ISO
- highest resolution (raw not required)
- turn OFF the flash
Put your camera in manual mode.
Take an exposure based on your in camera light meter reading. From the same place take two more frames underexposing your film a stop in each frame. Then take two more pictures overexposing your film a stop in each frame. First do this by adjusting your shutter speed.
BRACKETING BY ADJUSTING THE SHUTTER SPEED
Example: light meter reads f11 @ 1/125
underexpose one stop (f11 @ 1/250) and two stops (f11 @ 1/500)
overexpose one stop (f11 @ 1/60) and two stops (f11 @ 1/30)
Repeat the same process, except this time adjust your exposure by using the lens aperture.
BRACKETING BY ADJUSTING THE APERTURE
Example: light meter reads f11 @ 1/125
underexpose one stop (f16 @ 1/125) and two stops (f22 @ 1/125)
overexpose one stop (f8 @ 1/125) and two stops (f5.6@ 1/125)
If your camera cannot manually adjust the aperture and shutter speed independently, please come talk to me. We'll spend some time shooting during class to ensure you can complete the assignment as close to the requirements as possible.
Make no less than 300 total exposures. Yes, 300.
Bring the images to class on 1/26.
