New assignment: Special Effects

Special Effects. This weeks assignment will test your creativity and darkroom techniques. You must turn in 1 5x7 print using different special effects. Multiple exposures on one frame of film (check your cameras manual to check if your camera is capable of doing this function). Printing multiple exposures one one print. Placing foreign objects in the original frame during printing. Solar posterazation (exposing film to light during the processing stage), Solarazation (exposing paper to light during processing), High Contrast-Super grainy prints using the "cooking" method.
Make sure you are here on Friday to get the lesson...this will be a hard one to make up.
You might Google "special effects photography" for more ideas...

New assignment "Song Title"

OK, this one will be fun. Use you imagination. This week its a Song Title...any song, within reason, photograph an image that portrays the song.
The 4 examples shown were for one song called "The Long and Winding Road" by the Beatles.
You do not need to use that song, its just an example.
I do not want any images that show anything contraband to school rules, this is paramount.
It can be after dark, or indoor or outdoor...the sky is the limit. It could even be the sky as long as it follows the theme of the song.
Let your imagination run wild.

New Assignment: Night Shot

Night Shot:

For this assignment, you will need a camera, film and tripod (if you have one)...if you dont have one, you will need to find something to set your camera on...fence, car, rock, wall something where your camera isnt going to move...at all.

Having moving lights works well if the camera is dead still.

To shoot this:
1. Set camera shutter speed to B or BULB.
2. Set fstop to f8.
3. Hold down trigger and count seconds (one thousand one, one thousand two)
4: Shoot for 1 second, 2 seconds, 4 seconds, 8 seconds
5: Take several shots at same spot. We call this Bracketing.
Good Luck....
