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....

In N Out revamp

Add to the original In N Out Post......3 different photos....make it a photo story.....

New Assignment: In N Out





The one you've been waiting for. In N Out!!!
Criteria:
Must have In N Out logo in the image.
Must be photographed at Placerville location only.
No photos are to be taken inside of the store.
Do not distract employees for the photographs.
You may use people in photos, only if you know them. Do not photograph patrons.

I know, there are a lot of rules, but there are reasons for this. We only have permission to photograph at Placerville store.
Right to Privacy Act gives patrons right not to have photos taken for any purpose. Management has stated that no images are to be taken inside. If these rules are broken, we will lose future use of In N Out. There will be consequences if these rules are broken. I do not want a phone call from the manager.

Hey guys,
Your assignment this week is "Grave Yard". We are looking for Story Telling images....bring a friend or family member with you to use as a model.
