Review - to be up to date do the following:

Use a sSLR (digital single lens reflex camera) on shutter speed priority and then on aperture priority.

Shutter Speed priority
Usually marked as a 'S' on the dial.
This allows you to choose a shutter speed, which is then fixed. This would cause a problem with exposure as you move from light to dark situations but in this mode the camera will change the aperture for you to make sure the exposure is correct.
For example, you may decide that 1/250 is a good speed to freeze some action (running water for instance). In this case you could choose 'S' on the dial, change the shutter speed to 1/250 and as you point to shoot in a light situation the camera may adjust to f16 (smaller aperture and therefore less light) and when you point to a dark area the aperture may open up to f3.6.

Aperture priority
Usually marked as an 'A' on the dial.
This allows you to choose an aperture, which the camera then fixes for you. Consequently the camera adjusts the shutter speed according to the lighting situation (exposure value).
For example, you may want a short depth of field for a portrait and therefore choose f3.6 (or even f1.4 if possible), this is a wide, open aperture. In a brightly lit situation the camera would choose a fast shutter speed so that not too much light coems in. If you then move to a darker lighting situation the camera could adjust the shutter speed to 1/60 or 1/30 so that enough light gets in to expose the shot properly.
By the end of today you need to have used both of the above 'mo9des' on the dSLR camera dial, achieving the following examples (four mininum):

• 1. A short depth of field. (A little in focus)
  
• 2. A deep depth of field. (A lot in focus)
• 3. Movement frozen with a fast shutter speed.
• 4. Movement blurred with a slow shutter speed.

Don't forget - As evidence that you have understood what you are doing (and have therefore developed skills) write up what you have done and explain how you did it, in bullet points on your blog with labels that reflect the four pictures above.

When you have finsihed these tasks you can look through all the work you have done so far on this course and decide what chanes you would like to make to them on Photoshop (we will discuss how later). On the 8th of March present your intentions on iphoto slideshow, discussing what you wish to change and why.
