Aperture Practice - Overview

Practice with aperture mode using wooden cubes. Describe your experience and observations.

• Aperture mode allows for control over depth of field.

• Aperture mode is used for capturing fast-moving objects.

• Aperture mode is best for low-light conditions.

• Aperture mode automatically adjusts shutter speed.

Take a picture of your nametag. What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

• I faced no challenges.

• I faced some challenges but overcame them easily.

• I faced many challenges and struggled to overcome them.

• I did not face any challenges and did not overcome anything.

Set the camera to AV mode and focus to MF (manual focus). Take photos from different aperture settings and focal points. Discuss the differences you observed in the photos.

• The depth of field changes with different aperture settings.

• The color of the photos changes with different aperture settings.

• The camera's battery life is affected by aperture settings.

• The camera's weight changes with different focal points.

What mode should you set your camera to for this exercise?

• Auto

• Manual

• Portrait

• Landscape

How should the cubes be arranged on the table?

• In a straight line

• In a pyramid shape

• In a circle

• Randomly

The purpose of lowering your body at one side of the table during this exercise is to:

• improve balance

• increase flexibility

• enhance strength

• reduce strain

Which camera setting is used to control the depth of field in this exercise?

Set f stop # to the lowest setting (f/3.5 was the lowest I was able to get). Focus using the manual focus on the closest block to you. Take a picture. Look at the image - what's in focus? Which of the blocks are blurred or in focus?

• The closest block is in focus, others are blurred.

• All blocks are in focus.

• The farthest block is in focus, others are blurred.

• None of the blocks are in focus.

In the image titled 'Image Set 1: Focusing on block closest to you (1/3)', which block is in focus?

• The block closest to you

• The block in the middle

• The block farthest from you

Set f stop # to a medium setting (f/7-12). Focus using the manual focus on the closest block to you. Take a picture. Look at the image - what's in focus? Which of the blocks are blurred or in focus?

• The closest block is in focus, others are blurred.

• All blocks are in focus.

• The farthest block is in focus, others are blurred.

• None of the blocks are in focus.
