First- White balance assignment. Shoot the same subject, the same exposure, same everything EXCEPT change the white balance for 6 different exposures. BE SURE TO SHOOT IN RAW. Once you have the photos shot, you will then in LR color correct them all. I will show you an example of this. After color corrections are done, you will make a screen capture of the before and after to show that you can color correct in LR, and utilize the power of RAW.

Second- Photograph at least 5 different images with a slow shutter speed that show motion. For some examples, take a look HERE and HERE.

Third- Depth of field. Find a unique (different from the other photos for this week) and pleasing scene that has depth to it. Photograph it using large depth of field, and then photograph it using small depth of field. Make sure that exposure is accurate and the same in both images, only the depth of field should change.  Example images (not the most exciting but shows different depth of field, everything else is the same)-
