Using the 18-55mm zoom lens, isolate a single object and position the camera so that the object is as close to the camera as possible. Be sure that there is considerable space between the isolated object and the background.

•Photo No. 1: Set the f/stop to as small a number as the camera will allow. Take the photo, ensuring that the isolated object is in focus.•Photo No. 2: Using the same lens and object, set the aperture to the largest number the camera will allow and take the same photograph.

Questions:Questions:

The first exercise was a backlit situation. Why did the photo appear “better” when you used spot metering?

In the second exercise, tow different extremes of f/stop gave different perspectives of the same object. Explain what is happening.

Close-Up and Close-Up and Fluorescence Fluorescence Photography Photography

Note: All close-up photography requires a tripod.

A special lens is required for close-up photography when using the D40.

Close-Up and Close-Up and Fluorescence Fluorescence Photography Photography

Open the aperture to the maximum the camera will allow.

Fit the camera with a close-up lens and set the camera on Manual “M” Priority setting. Attach the camera to a tripod.

Position the camera as close to the print as possible (in focus). Ensure that the camera body is level. Focus the camera (do not use a zoom lens). Using the shutter speed, select the correct exposure. For black powder dusted prints, take photograph using available

light. For a fluorescent powder dusted print, use an alternative light source

(ALS) to visualize the print-wear orange goggles-and fit the camera with an orange filter on the lens. Focus the camera and take the photo as above.
