Trick Photography Lab

For today’s Trick Photography Lab you will capture EIGHT images that “trick” the perception of your viewer. The EIGHT images must be different in idea and nature, and perform separate “tricks.”  Additionally, your images should be composed well, without distracting elements, as well as properly exposed etc.

1.  Post your EIGHT images in a blog post titled: TRICK PHOTOGRAPHY LAB.  You will label each image with the category, as well as the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture, as demonstrated below.

2. When you have completed the blog post, please let me know so that I can score it.

Learning Targets:

• Students will be able to operate a camera in shutter priority or manual mode to achieve correctly exposed photographs.
• Students will be able to change and set the white balance on the camera.

---

White Balance Lab

1. Choose an area of the room and set up a scene with AT LEAST SEVEN inanimate objects (No cell phones, no stuffies, no chocolate bars…).
2. You will use a piece of white paper as your backdrop.  Set your camera to shutter priority mode (FYI setting the WB is applicable in ALL shooting modes.)
3. Locate your white balance setting in your camera’s menu.
4. Set the camera to the first type of white balance setting, focus your camera, and take the photo.
5. Continue through your settings taking a photo for each setting.

Remember you must correctly expose your photographs for them to count.

You will post all photos to a blog post titled: White Balance Lab.  You will copy and paste the information from the Example Blog Post (located below). You will replace your information with mine.

Learning Targets:

Students will be able to:

• adjust shutter speed on the camera using the shutter priority mode.
• demonstrate blurred motion.

---

Shutter Lab

Today you will be demonstrating your understanding of shutter speed.

Your task is to capture EIGHT blurred motion images using Shutter Priority mode.

 

---

Please note:

• BLURRED MOTION:  USE 1″ OR LOWER AS NECESSARY.  
• USING A TRIPOD (or set your camera on a steady surface) IS NECESSARY.
• ONLY the object in motion should be blurred while the background is crisp.
• Avoid distracting elements in the background (i.e., people, objects, etc.)
• You may have to manipulate the shutter speed or the speed of your object to capture the motion.
• If the object cannot be seen in the photo, it is not an acceptable photo to submit.
• A shutter speed that is too low will allow too much light.  Adjust as needed.

Learning Targets:

Students will be able to:

• adjust shutter speed on the camera using the shutter priority mode.
• demonstrate stop motion.

---

Shutter Lab

Today you will be demonstrating your understanding of shutter speed..

Your task is to capture eight stop motion images using Shutter Priority mode.

 

---

Please note:

• FREEZE/STOP MOTION: 1/250 OR HIGHER AS NECESSARY. 
• NONE of your photos should be shot below 1/250.
• Your images should look good.  Put thought into them.  That is, for the stopped motion photos, there should be NO blur and the moving object should be completely stopped.  It should also be good in subject.
• The entirety of the photo should be CRISP.
• Avoid distracting elements in the background (i.e., people, objects, etc.)

NEXT Lab:  Shutter Priority Lab (bring objects that can be set in motion!)

---

Learning Targets:

Students will be able to:

• adjust the aperture on the camera using the aperture priority mode.
• demonstrate short depth of field.
• demonstrate long depth of field.

---

APERTURE LAB

Today you will be demonstrating your understanding of aperture.

Your task is to capture FOUR sets of images for a total of EIGHT:

• One object shallow/short depth of field.
• Same object long depth of field.
• Your images should look exactly the same as far as content and setup.  Do not move your camera.  Simply change the aperture.

Once you have captured your FOUR sets that both show the short and long depth of fields as mentioned above, you will create a blog post.  The blog post will be named: APERTURE PRIORITY LAB.  Identify each photo with the type of it identifies, and list the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture used (demonstrated below).

---

Please note:

• For shutter speeds longer than 250, use a tripod or place the camera on a stationary surface and use the timer.
• Use the highest aperture possible to achieve a short depth of field (blurred background).
• Use a the lowest aperture possible to achieve a long depth of field (clear foreground AND background).
• Your images should look good.  That is, subjects and items in your images should be in focus in the appropriate areas.
• For the shallow depth of field images, ONLY the background should be blurred.
• Avoid distracting elements in the background (i.e., people, objects, etc.)
• If your picture is out of focus, blurry, grainy, or has an overall drab or unaesthetic appearance, RESHOOT the photo.
• Keep shooting different objects.  Give yourself a variety from which to choose.
