Things are looking good

I am very impressed with the group of students in this class so far, everyone is picking things up quickly. We have been moving a little slower than usual to make sure that everyone is up to speed on the basics. Today in class, we viewed a short slideshow on top photos from last year, and one slideshow on the assignment where you create a slideshow to a song. Have a look at the following list to see if you are up to date.

• Flicker account set up with F2011 in brackets beside your screen name
• you have made me a contact on Flickr (go to contacts chase)
• Buddy icon created on Flickr
• first photo of yourself uploaded onto Flickr ( make sure all assignment photos are public so I can mark them, this means they have a green square beside them)
• Do not upload photos to Flickr bigger than 3mb
• a folder on your L Drive created that says Photo 11/12
• you have purchased your own 2gb sd card
• you know how to crop, resize and turn a photo to black and white in Photoshop
• review the links on this site that focus on composition/camera modes etc.( we will be having a test the end of next week)

Skate Park photoshoot is Thursday during class. Make sure you have your cameras in class, your batteries charged up and your compositional toolkit ready.
