Also on Tuesday, we will give you your assignments for your Mid Term so you can start working on it...these will take a lot of planning so dont put off till the end....you will not pass it. Good luck.

Veterans Day

It is the time of year that Veterans Day comes around. Pay tribute to the Vets and come up with a creative and interesting image that follows this theme. There are several Veterans Day festivities around the area...so, this shot has to be done on Monday only, as that is a Holiday...No school.
Check the paper for a listing of events, times and venues. Remember, If you miss Monday...you will have no other chance to do this.

New Assignment: Circles

Something in everyday life. Circles. Not snapshots, well thought out and composed Photographs.
Make them a fine art print. The use for these is great as "stock" photographs. Here are a few images for some Ideas...

New Assignment: Backlight

Your assignment this week is "backlight". Any subject, Outdoor, have light behind subject with main subject properly exposed. Move in close to take reading with your meter, back up, compose, shoot. Watch for lens flair (in black and white it doesnt look "artsy", just bad.

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.
