Prompt Shoot #2 (focus on exposure). Assigned 10/1, due 10/6 - MAJOR

Here is your next assignment: Prompt Shoot #2

You know what to do with these after the first shoot. But remember, you need to take more photos than you intent to turn in. I would shoot 1 photo for every minute you are out there. So today a good goal would be 45-50 photos.

You will, generally, be graded on the following:

Focus - is the picture in focus? If not, you will lose points
Subject - is the subject clear? 
Interest - how interesting is the subject
Composition - did you incorporate rules of photography
Uniqueness - is it something new, something I haven't seen before, were you creative?

Don't forget that you are thinking about composition AND the prompts. Today, you have the added layer of making sure your photos are EXPOSED properly. And then you can start thinking about depth of field and/or stopping action. YOU MUST SHOOT IN THE MANUAL SETTING!!

A good starting place today, since it is sunny; ISO 200-400, Aperture f8-f16. shutter speed around 350 or so. If you are inside, you might need to start with ISO 400-800, Aperture f4.5-f8, shutter speed 60-250 or so. But make sure you use the LIGHT METER. If you need help, come back to the classroom. If you can't get your photos to come out - COME BACK TO THE ROOM.

Here are your prompts today:

Metal
Bowie
Square
Gate

You will turn these images in labeled, and completing a post shoot reflection on Monday when I see you next.
