Aperture Value Priority

1. Set your camera on AV.

These photos will show you the effect that different apertures have on the depth of field.

2. f2 or 2.8 is the lowest setting-shallow depth of field on many cameras. T5’s start at 4.0: shoot a subject with a far stretching background (ex a person 2 feet away from the camera and then another 10 feet behind them and someone several feet behind them)

3. f16 or the highest setting-wide depth of field: shoot the same set up as above.

4. Set the camera in Manual mode so that you are sure to focus on the first subject.  

5. Record all of your settings on the data sheet. Choose your best 4 shots.

6. Submit as a word document as well as a contact sheet of all of

your shots to : tabelton@hotmail.com
