Scene 2
Use the same camera settings but keep an eye on your shutter speed - you are dealing with a moving subject so make sure your shutter speed doesn't fall below 1/60 second. If it does, increase your ISO. You could shoot on a longer lens, up to 200mm (+/- 135mm on a cropped sensor)
Have your subject about 6 feet in front of a tree or a similarly vertical object that is taller than they are. Compose the photo so that there is background receding in the distance.
The background shouldn't be too bright - Don't fight the light!
Shoot:
Set your aperture wide open, focus on the lines of your object. Shoot.
Stop down 2-3 stops. Shoot.
Stop down 2 more stops. Shoot. Watch your shutter speed!

Assignment 2 Part 2 Reflection:
I love my witch legs and it was fun to stage this shot to work with depth of aperture. I was still struggling with the settings on my camera, as that is apparent in my over/under exposed shots, and only a few of the shots truly showing the depth between the legs, tree, and fence line. This assignment gave me a better understanding on how to make adjustments between my ISO, F Stop, and Shutter speed.
This was witch legs shot at 1/25s F8 and ISO 200, Still shot to show depth, 20200926, Backyard, Miller, This was my 2nd favorite outcome when adjusting my ISO/F/Shutter speed. This shot did not have the vibrancy in color as the other, but did capture the depth of the fence in the background. Camera Settings: Nikon D500, ISO 200, 55mm, f/8, 1/25s
This was witch legs shot at 1/80s F4 and ISO 200, Still shot to show depth, 20200926, Backyard, Miller, This was close shot to my favorite outcome when adjusting my ISO/F/Shutter speed. I continued to adjust to see what changed in the photograph. Camera Settings: Nikon D500, ISO 200, 55mm, f/4, 1/80s
