Follow along so you can create three incredible photos today.

3. 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 in pairs or 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

• Choose a piece of cardstock if you'd like

• Collaborate with your partner to set up your staples in a cityscape. 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 with pngs or gernerative fill

  
  

Experiment with lights from your phone to shine on your city, OR use the lighting in the class.

Experiment with twinkle lights.

Experiment with props and editing.

Think outside of the box!
