Landscapes

For this assignment please take landscape images. These can be traditional or non-traditional landscapes, just be certain that the image doesn't become about an object or action happening within the landscape.

Use your landscape "Creative" setting on your camera if you have one.



If you have a "Manual" setting or "Aperture Priority" setting, then use either/both of those to set the smallest aperture you can (largest f-number).

If you have both, try seeing the difference between the two settings.


Shoot many images, edit and choose 5 to turn in.

Things to consider:

Try to achieve a definitive foreground, middleground and background.

To get the largest depth of field, try focusing on something a little closer than the farthest point; this is called the hyperfocal distance, and will give you the same amount of focus in the distance, but a lot more focus in the foreground.

Think about how and what your camera is using to decide the "right" amount of light and adjust it as necessary. Try using different metering modes to see how the exposure changes.

Look around to see if objects are distracting or pulling attention away from the space.

Use surrounding objects to frame your image.

Set the camera down or use a tripod.
