When you are finished you must have evidence of the following: 1. A photo taken with a fast shutter speed and a slow shutter speed. (In Shutter Speed Priority Mode) 2. A photo taken with a wide aperture setting and one with a small aperture setting. (In Aperture Priority Mode) 3. A photo taken with a high ISO setting and one with a low ISO setting.
