HOMEWORK (Per 4 DUE: MON 2/2) (PER 1 DUE: WED 2/4): REPEAT THE SAME ASSIGNMENT, BUT NOW USE SUBJECTS AND OBJECTS THAT ARE AWAY FROM SCHOOL
This week during class, you
will shoot 24-36 pictures with at least six different subjects. You
will turn these in at the end of class and call them Comp1.
Please shoot the following:
- 3 shots focusing on the Rule of Thirds
- 3 shots focusing on Unique Angle shots
- 3 shots focusing on Leading Lines shots
- 3 shots focusing on Frame within a Frame (using other objects to frame your subject)
Your homework is due at the
beginning of class
on Monday (P2) and Wed. (P1). You will have 15 minutes to get everything finalized and
submitted. You will select your 12 MOST INTERESTING shots using all
four techniques described above. In order to have 12 good shots, you should try to
take 40-80 pictures.
To submit your homework, you will create a contact sheet of your images (see the blog post for creating a contact sheet). Place
all 12 photos into a folder on your desktop using the SC
naming convention. This assignment is called CompCS1. Go to my folder
(King_Laura) on the staff server, and drop your contact sheet into your
class period folder.
Please answer the following
questions on a word document and save them with the naming convention to
your class period on my server. Include Day1Q in subject title.

When taking Abstract pictures today, keep the following in mind:

about strong compositions, patterns, lines, shapes, lighting, color,
nonrepresentational images (where it is not of something specific, or it
is hard to tell what it is). To achieve this, you may zoom in or try
unique angles.
- Throw out the rules of photography. Experiment. If your camera has experimental settings, you may want to try them.
