Assignment #1

For our first assignment we were sent on a scavenger hunt.  We were given 13 lighting scenes we needed to capture.  I spent most of the weekend walking around Hoboken, Weehawken and Brooklyn with my camera just in case I found the correct light.  I'm pretty sure my friends are going to be sick of me by the end of the class.  As you'll notice, I think Duffy got into being my model.

For all the pictures I had the Mode Dial set on P (Programmed Auto).  We'll never set the Mode Dial on Auto.  I also messed around with the White Balance setting and went back and forth between Auto and Direct Sunlight.  The last two pictures required the Direct Sunlight setting.

During class on Tuesday we'll project our pictures on a screen and review.  I'll let you know how it goes.  Fingers crossed I did a good job!
