Wed 15 February

Great job on the last assignment!  Please don't forget to put your three images up on your blogs before class on Wednesday.

Our next assignment is alphabet photography.  Your challenge is to begin seeing lines and shapes in the world around you. 

Let's meet on the square in downtown Commerce at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, February 21st. 

Bring your cameras and a tripod! If you don't have a camera that you can control shutter speed and aperture, you might want to check one out from 3rd Floor in Journalism before class.  You can also check out tripods and share them if you wish.

Sunset is at 6:12 pm so we won't have much time to photograph letters of the alphabet but we'll have to time to begin learning the concept.  I'll be leaving Wathena at about 6:40 if anyone needs a ride.

Next Monday, 20 February we will begin learning how to create layers in Photoshop and insert your images into one single picture.

By Monday, you will need to have 3 sets of images showing the letters of the alphabet.  We will not be printing these images but we will use them to learn how to create layers.

We are also going to learn another compositional element.  Since it will begin getting dark while we are in downtown Commerce, we are going to learn how to take pictures at night in very low light conditions.  This technique requires you being able to change your aperture and shutter speed, so again, you will need a camera that allows you to change settings.  A tripod is necessary as well to be able to get a sharp picture in low light.  It is forecasted to be a beautiful evening so we should be able to capture some great images.
