1) Video Lesson
2) CAMERA SIMULATOR Exercises
Here is a link to an interactive camera simulator. For today's purposes, be sure to set it to aperture priority mode.

After playing around with this for a minute, try the following two challenges along with your teacher. For each of the two images below, copy the settings shown into your simulator window, and then try to "fix" the settings to get the result asked for.
Challenge 1: In-focus portrait with shallow depth of field.

Challenge 1: In-focus portrait with shallow depth of field.
Challenge 2: Properly exposed scene. Extended depth of field, everything in focus.
3) PRACTICE SHOOTING IN "A" (APERTURE PRIORITY) MODE
For the remainder of class, grab your camera, find somewhere as bright as possible, and experiment shooting at different F-stop values. F/5.6 gives you shallower depth of field (but lets in more light), and F/22 gives you more extended depth of field (but takes in much less light).
At the end of class, ask yourself what challenges you had, particularly with F/22. (Hint: were your photos blurry?)
