IN CLASS

• We started working on Portraits

CONSIDERATIONS

• Remember to flatter your subject, no matter what.
• You can manipulate the light to make it softer or more dramatic, but be thinking about light.

HOMEWORK

• Work on your window light portraits

Alrighty team,

We have been working hard to get you to Manual, but some of the best photography really is just about having some fun, so take this week and do that. You have NO homework, but you do have a lot to make sure you have in your portfolio.  

Here is the list:

• Rule of Thirds
• Rule of Odds
• Lines
• Simplification
• Fill the Frame
• Still Life #1
• Light Painting
  
• Long Shutter Speed (water, sky, light trails, etc.)

Remember, you need to write your reflection of each of these. Discuss your camera settings, what you were trying to go for, and what you learned.  Also remember, failure is okay, but only if you are learning from it.  You can use newer photos if you would like a better example, but keep the previous photos there to show you were done on time.

Hey team, 

Hopefully you have been practicing your long shutter speed (and fast shutter speed) techniques.

HOMEWORK

• Select one of the shutter speed techniques below, and upload your best to the class. You will submit your best long shutter speed photos later to your portfolio:
  • River/Waterfall
  • Starlight
  • Northern Lights
  • Advanced Light Painting
• For each of these, do some research online for best settings. You can use Google, but YouTube is great too.

​Best of Luck!

IN CLASS

• ​We are in MANUAL!!!
  
• We practiced long shutter speed with light painting

HOMEWORK

• AHHHHH forgot again. You guys know though....
  • Work on your best light painting (direct or indirect)
  • Post what you can do to the Class Photo Share
• Review the ISO video above

Looks like I missed getting homework up. Will have it posted after today's class.

Sorry for the lateness all...

IN CLASS

• We continued our work with lines and watched Matti's discussion on lines in composition.
• We practiced his techniques to try to see how we can use lines in different ways when shooting with subjects.

CONSIDERATIONS

• Consider how you use lines to draw the viewer's eye, no matter how you are doing it, be aware.

HOMEWORK

• We are moving on to Simplification in our photos. Study/look up the idea of 'simplification'. To make things simple, the idea of simplification I want you to be working with this week is when you make sure that only the main subject is what your eye is drawn toward.
• Try taking extremely simple photos and put your shots up to the Homeroom Class Share. We will discuss this more on Monday.
