Last week we talked about camera focus points, focus mode, and metering modes. Three different topics that all sound alike. All of these topics are important to understand when you take your SLR off of auto. All of these modes are helpful in allowing you to capture the very best photo you can. I shared a bunch of video links that explain these topics well, and use great examples. Here are some of the links.

I shared that another great resource for learning about your DSLR is from Adorama TV.
We also reviewed Depth of Field again, with more examples and another video.

...and then we played.
The first two shots below were taken in class, taken by student Kim Stromdak. Both exercises in depth of field, with a touch of "bokah"
f 5.6 1/30 sec ISO 1600 Spot metering
f 5.6 1/8 sec ISO 800 Spot metering
The this third shot, also from Kim, practicing with her long lens...and she shot it in black and white. Nice job Kim! (we will critique this tonight!!)
f 4 1/160 sec ISO 1600 Pattern metering
This next shot was sent in by student Todd Mead. He focused on the left to let the rest of the shot blur out. Thanks Todd for sharing.
f 4.8 1/13 sec ISO 3200 Center weighted metering
