Photo Assignments

Two photo assignments for this week:

1) post an image with shallow depth of field

2) post a self portrait

If you're using a point and shoot camera, the shallow depth of field assignment may be more difficult. Here are some tips:
  • turn off your flash

  • use your optical zoom

  • get close to the subject, and be sure you're focusing on it (not just on the center of the image)

  • put significant distance between your subject and the background

  • low light situations offer better opportunities

  • if you can't achieve it any other way, use your macro setting
