The art of Photography / Question 2

Practical assignment (1-5 days) Take five pictures every day for the next five days. The subjects of your pictures can include a series of different objects, people and landscapes. The focus of this activity is to put into practice what you have learned so far about exposure and composition. This includes: Depth of Field, Motion Blur, High Key, Low Key, Pattern, Symmetry, Texture, Lines, Framing, Perspective, Space, Balance and Color. Apply the manual settings as explained. Submit your six best pictures at the end of the week, listing the following with each picture:

  • ISO

  • Aperture

  • Shutter speed


I'm doing this task in the end of December, so all my photos have a winter theme. It was definitely a challenge to find different compositions during this snowy, Covid time, but I'm happy with the results.
