INTRODUCTION:

You can learn a lot about photography by looking at pictures, and trying to find out how they were taken. This assignment will make you think about what you have done so far.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS:

Find 5 images IN MAGAZINES that fit the criteria below: (All images at least ¼ page in size)
1. Action Shot
2. Landscape Shot
3. Shot from a HIGH Viewpoint
4. Shot from a LOW Viewpoint
5. One shot of an interior of a room

Read the info below and/or ask for a handout with info about Lenses and for each photo answer the questions below.
(Some questions will be difficult to answer definitively for certain images, especially as the same image may be produced in more that one way.)

• What kind of lens was used? wide (11-28), normal (35-50) or tele (80 à) Try to give a focal length
• What shutter speed was used? (Think of your speed assignment)
• What is the light source, and what direction does the light come from? (Could have more than one!)
• What distance was the photographer from the subject? (Name the subject you are referring to)
• How much of the picture is in focus – from where to where? Explain. (This is called Dept of Field)
• What Lens aperture was used for each photo?
o (Depth of field, focal length and shutter speed are your clues)

Please type your answers if at all possible.
Attach each analysis to the image it refers to in such a way that it is possible to read your analysis and look at the image at the same time.

KEY CRITERIA:

All questions answered, some with plausible guesses that show thought.

Write-ups next to (or on top of) photos, presented in creative way (titles, decoration, folding….)
