Using Focal Points to Create Emphasis

Our next photography assignment is learning how to use some of the manual mode features on the camera, so students can take more professional photos, and have more creative control over their images. Using the Aperture Priority Mode, students will be taking photos that show understanding of Depth of Field and Focal Points to create Emphasis.

Students will use a small depth of field to highlight one important object or person in their photos. They will practice framing their images to that they control where the focal point is in order to emphasize what is important in the picture.

This assignment will be completed after Winter Break.
