Introduction:

You will receive a pdf through your e-mail. This will allow you to save and print it. As you will receive your weekly PDF lesson and assignment, if you have any questions, you can post those in the class forum for feedback. Then when you finish your assignment you will be asked to critique what you think is the best image from the assignment and why, then the instructor will critique the assignment.

Lesson 1: Working on controlling your Depth of Field: Separate your subject from your background or included it with the background. Changing the aperture giving you either broad or narrow depth of field will achieve this.

Assignment 1: Capture different subjects in both broad and narrow depth of field.

2.	Lesson 2: Working on angle and perspective: Changing you angle of perspective of a simple subject or overdone subject will change a boring image to an exciting image. Assignment 2: Shoot a simple subject with different angles and perspective to show simplicity with some excitement.
3.	Lesson 3: Learning to see; Shadow and Light: When is the light right for photographs, Morning, Noon or Evening. Learn to see the different variables of light and shadow. Assignment 3: Shoot subjects in different light of the day to show the difference between Morning, Noon and Evening light as to how it changes the mood of the subject.
4.	Assignment 4: Bringing it together: Use what you have learned and pull it all together for a final image using depth of field, light, shadow with a bit of different perspective.
