PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS

Use the skills you learned about in this course to create your own landscape images.

It is recommended that you use either a DSLR or mirrorless camera, but you can use any camera that can be set to manual mode (including your phone).

Create at least one landscape image with your camera set to manual mode.

Bonus: Create at least one image in aperture priority mode.

DELIVERABLE

Upload at least one landscape image that you photographed in manual mode.

Bonus: upload an additional image that you photographed in aperture priority mode.

With each image that you upload, include a description of the image. Answer at least three of these questions in your description:

What camera mode was the photo shot in?
What were the lighting conditions when you made the image (e.g. sunrise/sunset, midday sun, cloudy, etc.)?
What were the exposure settings used to make the image (i.e. what was the f-stop, shutter speed, and ISO used).
- Why did you choose these settings?
- Did you experience any challenges when choosing your exposure settings?
What metering mode did you use?
- Why did you choose this mode? Did you experience any metering challenges?
Do you prefer aperture priority mode over manual mode?
- Why or why not?

I look forward to seeing your projects!
