Closure: Review this scenario and describe what the photographer should do?

The camera is set on aperture priority mode.  The ISO is set on 1600.  The photographer sets the aperture on f 2.8 for a desired shallow depth of field. When the photo is taken, it is "blown out", too light/bright.  What could the photographer do to remedy this issue.

Aperture by jaimecream

Homework: Due Monday!!!

Aperture Assignment:

40 photos (min)

2 different locations

use aperture priority or Macro mode or portrait mode (if you don't have aperture priority)

don't forget to vary your angle of view to make more interesting photos 

Remember:  

f 2.8 = more light, shallow depth of field, larger hole (reduced ability to focus foreground and background at the same time)

f 2.8

f 22 = less light, great depth of field, small hole (greater ability to focus on background and foreground at the same time) 

f 22
