For next Wednesday, Jan. 23, you need to shoot "mug shots" of three different people, people you do not know. These should be vertical photos, photos that would be used as half-column inserts into a newspaper or magazine story.
Shoot one with the lens set to 75 mm, one at 50 mm and the last at 28 mm. Think about the aperture you want based on how much depth of field you'll need. (Hint: At 28 mm, any given aperture has more depth of field than at 75 mm.) Then determine what ISO will give you a high enough shutter speed to negate camera shake and not negatively affect image quality.
Fill the frame–move in close enough so you're not wasting pixels.
Control your background–watch what's going on back there.
Wait for moments–look for a good expression, light in their eyes, things like that.
Shoot multiple photos of each person–aim for 10-15 frames per person. (Each person only needs to be shot at one focal length.)
UPDATED: For the caption, you need their name, age, hometown, job or major and one piece of contact information (phone number or email address).
Questions? Post them here or email me. Samples below.

What were the pieces of info we needed to include (age, major, etc.)?
Thanks,
Selena
i think we needed to ask:
name, age, major, year, phone number, and email. but i'm not sure if that's all.

What are the lab hours? I need to charge my battery because I inadvertently left the camera turned on.
Lab hours won't start until later this week, but if you drop by my
office between 8:30 and 10 Tuesday morning, I can put it on a
charger. Will take about 30 minutes.
Shaina has the correct list of information needed: name, age major or job title, hometown and one piece of contact information.
McFee!
