1. Start This was originally a project created with
This learning module was developed for students in a photography and design course.
There are no specific Michigan Standards and Benchmarks for this course.
Students have difficulty learning the difference in depth of field and f stop settings.
This was originally a project created with
HyperStudio. It has been converted by
C. McCarthy

2. Camera to subject distance
This presents a menu of options for the learner. This way if they want to learn a specific part they can select it, or if they want to review a part, or if they don’t have enough time to complete the learning presented.
