A Note From Your Instructor: Note 4

The Complete Photographer

Greetings,

How is the homework coming along? Let's see! Without looking at your notes, fill in the blanks:

1/4 ___ ____ 1/30 ____ _____ _____ 1/500 _____

How did you do? Remember, you need to memorize them forwards and backwards.

Starting next week, I am going to place random calls to see if you know them! Get them memorized!

The next request may seem sort of odd: I want you to practice visually identifying a distance of 10 feet. I don’t care how you do it, but somehow measure off ten feet and practice and work on your ability to “eyeball” a distance of 10 feet.

Do this indoors, outdoors, while you are walking through Target, at church, in your office and at the park. Try to check yourself – even if you have to carry a small tape measure for a few days. Let me know how you are doing.

Assignment #2: Don't Fall Behind

If you have not started your homework studies, please get on it because you will get behind and get overwhelmed.

Lesson 2 is now ready for you: Lesson 2: Shutter Speeds | Pass the CPP

Remember, take your time and really learn the material.

In case you missed it, here is the link to Lesson 1: Lesson 1: F-stops | Pass the CPP

Also remember:

Next time you are out and about, pick up a pack of 3x5 notecards.
Also pick up a small tape measure that will measure at least 10ft. Be sure it is small enough to carry easily in your pocket or camera bag. Nothing bulky.

I will be sending you a complete list of things to bring a little bit closer to class.

That’s it for now!
