Procedure for making final prints for Motion/Depth of Field assignment.
1. Be sure light overlaps your easel by 1/8"
2. Use grain focuser to be sure negative is in focus. You MUST see me when you begin to use the grain focuser. I want to know you know how to use this tool. It is a very important tool and needs to be used with every print you make.
3. Make a test strip to determine correct amount of time. I recommend starting with an aperture of F/8 and your timer set to 5 seconds. You might need to make adjustments depending on your results.
4. See Mr. Bishop to help you read your test strip. Tip - He will be looking for your first black that appears in your print.

Here is what you will turn in for this assignment:

- One print from your pop can portion of the assignment. This print must be from a negative where you used your largest aperture opening (smallest number.) I am looking for your shortest depth of field.

-One print from your subject motion portion of your assignment. This print must be from a negative where you used your fastest shutter speed to stop your motion. I am looking for your moving subject to be frozen. I don't want to see any blurry subjects.

-One print from the body motion portion of your assignment. This print must be from a negative where you took a picture using your slowest shutter speed. I am looking for your entire picture to be blurry.
