June Assignment

Here are the assignments we talked about in the comments.

3 Assignments (pick at least 2)

• Night Shot
  
• Water
• 10 second exposure
  

Due date is the end of June so theres plenty of time :D

April Assignment (Farshid)

I forgot about depth of field (and besides, it does not get much better than Dhab's, minus the pole picture). Here is my framing one...

April Assignment (Poya)

Ok here are my attempts...

Framing:


I admit it's kind of cheezy. The runner up was the following, where two guys' heads were acting as a frame:



Depth of Field:

For some reason the simiplicity of this shot appealed to me.

Runner up:


Action Shot:
Hard one. This one is not really an action shot (walking doesn't count...), and it's only accidental that the delegate is in focus.



The only adjustments were cropping and a straightening.

April Assignments (Dhabih)

Depth of Field

I didn't have time to do an action shot. I'm guessing no one else had time to do either ;)

April Assignment.

I'll just finalize this since April is mostly done.

3 Assignments (pick at least 2)

• Depth of Field
  
• Framing
• Action Shot
  

Since there isn't much time left lets try to get at least 1 or 2 of these 3. I'm not super sure what you meant by framing Poya so if you could clarify in the comments.
