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!

Hey hey, Sorry I have been a way for a bit. Ok so these aren't really of any particular assignment, but im guessing you want some feed back, so here goes.
Your composition is good, the exposure is safe, but needs a level filter applied, Pof and aperture are good. The main problem I see here is your light source, its overly diffused. Now you can shoot in that light and add filters to better it, but you havent done that yet. Some times you have no choice but to shoot in such light and Post is where you fix it. My advice would be to find a stronger "main" or "key" light to use.
When your subject is people and portraits are the game, try to find a light source that will fill in or light the subjects eyes, as this is the most important part in most cases, as it is also usually your PoF.
Just when I think I might be getting better...ugh! I have a long frustrating road ahead...yay to me!
