Assignment #4
Present 4 photos that capture the essence of timing.
Examples : movement important to your scene, an expression, an action.
Take all 3 variables (f-stop,shutter speed, ISO), nail them perfectly and throw in a little timing. Easy right?
By my estimation getting the right point of focus then recomposing your shot and at the same time capturing your subject at the peak or most important time will be your hurdles.
Weekly Assignment #3
Objective: Landscapes
Submit 4-5 landscape photographs
You might use wider focal lengths and high number apertures like f10 or f22, this is typical of a setting but don't let it hold you back.
Look for dynamic lighting and unique compositions.
Land scape basics: foreground/middle/and background elements are desired. Dramatic lighting and cast shadows to create depth.
I don't know if you have a tripod, but on some shots and situations you might need to use one, if you are doing this right you will be using the AV option and not caring about your shutter speed. The speeds could go into the 1 second or even 3 second range. At the same time, non of the samples to the left were shot using a tripod, I had plenty of light.
Good luck!

I would say a few things could spice this up.
1. fill the frame. Unless you have a cool and interesting environment that lends it self to your composition, fill it.
2. Lighting. if you can use the light to differentiate your subjects from their environment or back ground, a picture can be come more dynamic. In this shot they might be only a few stops if that different. Possibly adding a post processing vignette could help it.
3. Environment, as you know, putting them some place that looks interesting or in the very least looks like it might have been hard to get to can add importance to the occasion. A common park? idk I guess it could work, maybe in this shot you could have gotten down, level with your subjects eyes, opening up whats back there instead of just grass.
4. DoF. If your back ground sucks, draw more attention to your subjects by blowing it out. Looks like you might be at a 4.5 here idk, but maybe if thats true a 2.8 if called for.
Hope this helps..
These kids are also very pale from a cold hard winter. Throw an 81a photo filter over them @ 20% and see if that warms things up.
