Learning to take great photographs takes practice. Choose one subject and take at least 25 pictures of the subject (an object, a person, an animal, a building, etc.). If you use a film camera, you can take fewer pictures, but if you use a digital camera, try to take at least 25 pictures and even more if possible for practice. Submit three of your favorite photographs from your practice activity. Take two photographs of the same scene, person, or object using different focal lengths. Include a brief note with your photographs about how the image changed depending on the focal length you chose. Use two different modes on your camera while photographing the same subject. For example, you might take one with a portrait mode and one with an autofocus mode. If your camera only has a manual mode, try taking one out-of-focus picture and one picture that is in focus. Submit two photographs taken using two different modes. Label each photograph accordingly. The amount and quality of the light will influence your photographs. Take several photos of an object in different lighting conditions. Turn in at least three photographs of the object that show different lighting. For example, you might photograph an object in midday sun, in the shade, indoors, under fluorescent lighting, and at dusk.
