OFF CAMPUS LANDSCAPE PHOTO SHOOT (PER 4: TUES. 2/10) & (PER 1: WED. 2/11)

  1. LANDSCAPE HOMEWORK DUE: (PER 4: TUES. 2/10) & (PER 1: WED. 2/11)
  2. LANDSCAPE OFF CAMPUS  PHOTO SHOOT (PER 4: TUES. 2/10) & (PER 1: WED. 2/11)
 Pick at least two scenic location where you can take pictures, one for your homework assignment and one for your off-campus photo shoot. This should be a place with water, mountains, trees, or a combination of all of the above. I would recommend Carkeek Park, Kerry Park, or Richmond Beach. For your off-campus photo shoot, know where you are going beforehand, bring your camera and arrange your transportation.
  • One of these photography sessions must be during sunset or sunrise.
  • You will shoot at least 24 pictures at each location. 
  • You will turn in the landscapes as contact sheets at the end of class. They should each have 24 pics (4 columns & 6 rows). Be sure to create a folder on your desktop titled LANDSCAPES.
  • BEFORE YOU PUT YOUR CONTACT SHEET IN MY SERVER FOLDER, BE SURE TO HIGHLIGHT THE NUMBERS OF YOUR BEST 1-3 IMAGES!! THEN UPLOAD IT TO THE SERVER.
  • Title the accordingly:
    • Homework = LandscapeCS1
    • Off-campus photos = LandscapeCS2
TIPS:
  1. Make sure each shot has a large depth of field. In other words, make sure even the background objects are in focus.
  2. In each shot make sure you have foreground, middleground, and background objects.
  3. Most Landscape shots will have water, trees, and mountains.
  4. Change angles and move all around the location.
  5. Shoot horizontal and vertical landscape pictures.
  6. Do not center the horizon. Place it in the upper or lower third.
  7. Look for lines on the ground or even in the sky.
  8. Use tripods as needed.
