My Work Desk

Here is my attempt at the assignment, my camera does not go up to an f/16 setting, f/8 is the highest. Notice the clarity of almost all the items in the picture.

Assignment

Go to this link for instructions. Deadline is July 1 to post on that website, but if you just want to post on here, make it tomorrow...just kidding, how about next Saturday (7/4)?

Forks at the Awards Ceremony

Here is the information on the picture:

Camera: Panasonic
Model: DMC-LX2
ISO: 100
Exposure: 1/20 sec
Aperture: 2.8
Focal Length: 6.3mm
Flash Used: No

I used my point-and-shoot camera, I used some manual settings to make it a bit more interesting, instead of just using the "Auto" setting. I read that using a 100 ISO setting gives you a sharper picture and a lower aperture number would give you more depth of field, so there you go...let me know what you think.

What I like about this picture is the sharpness of the fork and the table cloth.

Critique Us

The title says it all! I'm still trying to figure out how members will post up pictures on their own, instead of having to send them to me and then post. I will keep you posted on my findings...

Let's be creative; try new things, different settings, and have fun!

Some ground rules on critiquing:

1. Start with what you like about the picture
2. Provide constructive criticism
3. Give tips on what to try to make the picture better

Let's try to make this a positive experience for everyone involved. I am going to try to get some professional photographers to critique our pictures as well, so make 'em good!
