Group Presentation from the
Digital Dynamos
P1: Portrait
• Focus on eyes of
subject
• Shallow depth of
field
• Capture Personality
• Experiment with
props
• Experiment with
lighting
• Fill the Frame
• Candid or posed
Teresa Ray
P2: Scene ModeI thought this picture came out
great since it was one of my first.
In close-up mode it is important to
remember that stability is key, and
this is usually accomplished with
the use of a tripod. It is also
important to remember that there
are limits on how close you can
get and still maintain the focus
and depth of field you are going
for. Patience is a must when
working with animals in close-up
and there are times when you
have to actually stalk your
prey(subject). Even if you get
within reach of your subject you
may have to settle for angles or
perspectives that are not perfect.
I learned a lot from this
assignment and it gave me a
deeper appreciation for the
difficulty faced when working in
close-up mode, especially with
animals.

P3: Depth of Field
• Use a tripod.
• Use smaller
aperture
settings for a wide
depth of field.
• Use larger
aperture settings
for a shallow depth
of field.
• Learn your
camera’s settings
to obtain a better
depth of field.
Cliff Kicklighter
P4: Select an Assignment• Chose photo with an extreme
close-up and of flowers.
• Fun assignment
• Macro Mode
• Have to watch the depth of
field; can sometimes lead to
poor depth of field.
• Think about what you want in
focus.
• Great way to get to “play” and
experiment with camera.
•Played with the coloring when
editing.
Leah Doughman
P5: Light and Shadow
• Experiment with your
cameras exposure to
either darken or
sharpen the shadows.
• Experiment at
different times during
the day.
• Make sure the
lighting is in front of
the subject.
• Make the shadow
your main subject.
• Shadows can set the
mood of the photo.
Cliff Kicklighter
P6: Rule of Thirds• Difficult assignment
• Still allowed me to achieve good
composition. “Grid line thinking” helps.
• Great for repetition, geometry, and
lines.
• Needs a foreground and background.
• It depends on how and what you want
to fill your foreground and background.
Like the choice!
• Challenged the way I normally took
pictures.
• Cropping picture since it was taken
from the road.
•Brighten due to lighting.
Leah Doughman
P7: Flash, Night Time, or Reflection
• Create beautiful
images
• Reflective
sources: windows,
water, mirrors
• Change an image
to a work of art
Gina Braden
P8: Double-Exposure or Creative Filter
Layers are like sheets of
acetate, transparent except
where there is artwork on
them.
Layers have opacity
sliders so you can allow the
background or underlying
layers to show through.
Layers can be reordered
by dragging the layer up or
down in the layers palette.
You can have up to 100
layers depending on
computer memory.
Gina Braden
P9: Transforming Objects
Extreme
Perspectives
Bird’s eye view:
Camera at extreme high
position (aerial, towers, tree,
etc.)
Focus on particular object for
true-to-life bird’s eye view
Worm’s eye view:
Camera at extreme low
position (ground level of a
tree, etc.)
Teresa Ray
P10: Atmospheric or Ambiguous Space
While this was not my favorite
assignment, I can tell you that valuable
lessons were learned. Unlike photos
taken in a controlled environment,
when working with atmospheric space
it is a waiting and timing game. If you
see a cloud formation you would like to
photo but have to go inside for the
camera you will probably miss the shot.
Unlike most of our assignments, we
were at the mercy of Mother Nature,
and she controlled this assignment in
many ways. With these types of shots I
think you either have to get lucky or
devote a lot of time in order to get a
great shot. I also found that what I saw
through the lens was different from
what I saw on my computer screen. The
point is that you can always erase bad
pictures if you take to many, but you
cant go back if you are unhappy with
the ones you took. Overall I was not as
pleased with this photo as some of my
other, but I would put this assignment
toward the top from a learning from
mistakes standpoint.
