NYIP Unit One Photo Assignment

Photograph One: Using shutter speed to express a sense of motion or speed. Choose a moving subject and use one of the three following techniques:

  • Fast shutter speed to "freeze" the action.
  • Use a very low shutter speed to blur the image of the moving subject while keeping the background sharp
  • Use a slow shutter speed and pan the camera to keep the subject sharp while creating streaks in the background.
Photograph Two: Use selective focus to make the subject stand out. Photograph a person or thing close up and make the subject sharp, but the background blurred.

Photograph Three: Create a feeling of distance by using a great depth of field. Keep everything near and far in focus.

I'll be posting my attempts in this blog. Give me some feedback. Help me decide what's working and what's not! Thanks!
