My Photography: TAOP - Intro - Exercise 3 - Focus at Different Apertures

This blog post is in relation to the exercise on page 18 of the OCA Photography 1 - TAOP course material.

This exercise is similar to the last one, but this time I decided to stay indoors where it is warm, dry and a little less muddy. After searching around the house for objects to put in a row, I came across these four bubbly bottles. The different colours and details of the foils wrappers allows for a good comparison of focus at the different apertures. I set the bottles on a box at an angle to the camera and tripod, and used the 'Aperture priorty' setting on the camera so I could adjust the aperture while the camera will automatically compensate for exposure levels. Despite being near a window and having the room lights on, I still needed to use the on-camera flash. Luckily this didn't create too much distracting Shadow on the back wall.
