I'm in an art 2 photography class this semester and one of our assignments has to do with depth of field. I'm supposed to make 3 exposures of the same subject from the same spot.
Each shot i have different apertures:
1st: F2
2nd: F5.6
3rd: F22
So my question is.......Where the heck are these settings? Is the aperture setting when you turn the lense?
oh ya, the cameras is manual, its an AE-1. Black and white film. with 50 mm lenses.
So far all i know and can figure out for light settings is this:
1. The little meter inside the viewfinder looker thing tells you how much light is entering the lense, and lets you know how how fast your shutter speed should be..........
do you want it to be in the middle?
2. oh wait.....thats pretty much it. I dont really know how the ASA setting works.
So basically, i'm asking how u set the f/stops for something to those specific setings
