2. Staple City

This activity will help you review setting your aperture and ISO in manual mode.

Remember- Your ISO depends on how much light you have outside the camera. The higher you set that number, the more noise you'll have in your image and image quality will suffer.

Aperture determines depth of field and is measured with the fstop number. A SMALL f stop, like 3, will give you a shallow depth of field (blur). A LARGE f stop will give you a deep depth of field (everything will be in focus).

Here's how you'll capture your staple city:

• Get into groups of three

• Take a group of staples. DO NOT break them into pieces. You may break a few in half if you'd like but NOT into pieces.

• You SHOULD use the sticky pads to help your "buildings" stand up

• Collaborate with your partner to set up your staples in a city scape. You will shoot them together but edit your photos separately.

• You can take a photo of your buildings but digitally add in a sky and scenery using vectors from pngaaa, vecteezy, or generative fill

• You should have a shallow depth of field and show depth by adjusting your aperture

Experiment with lights from your phone to shine on your city

Think outside of the box!

You will be editing THREE photos with THREE different backgrounds throughout this week. If you don't finish today, you will have time tomorrow!
