Notes:
The second part of my homework assignment was to shoot a series of outdoor photos demonstrating changes in aperture. The images had to be shot as JPEGs with no additional editing in Photoshop or Lightroom. I struggled with this portion of the assignment due to my limited understanding of exposure. In the end, I successfully shot a small area in the shade using a tabletop tripod with a shutter release. I allowed the camera to control both ISO and exposure while I set the aperture and made minor adjustments to exposure compensation. Focus was set to manual.
