All photos must be taken off campus. The exceptions being the Arboritium and the Matthei Botanical Gardens (which are really very nice and worth the short trip).
All photos must be edited to the best of your ability. White balance, tone, etc.
1. Take a set of photos of three objects. A foreground, middle ground, and background. Set the camera up on tripod. Take an image at your longest, shortest, and middle of the road focal lengths. Don't move the camera at all between the shots. Use the same exposure for all the shots.
This image illustrates the idea of what you are trying to do.
Another example.
2. Select a subject. Take an image at your longest, shortest, and middle of the road focal lengths. Move the camera as necessary to keep the foreground subject the same size. A friend works well as a subject. Note how the apparent distance between foreground and background elements seems to change.Use the same exposure for all the shots.

3. Ten creative photos which not only demonstrate an understanding of focal length but good composition as well. They should all be distinct.
