Thursday Feb. 21 New Assignments

Weather Feeling shots. What is the mood feeling of this time of year: Reflect our typical Feb. weather in 3 shots.

Glacier shots: You are to take 2 good shots of the Glacier. These photos can be taken from anywhere.

Today in class we learned how to use the crop, clone stamp tool and the blur and smudge tools. We spent some time looking around the filter program. Taylor gave a short presentation on Portraits.

Skatepark shots: focus on angles and possibly bring a prop to the skatepark. Please make sure you vary your shots so that I receive a variety of different shots with the main focus being angle. Shots 10

NEW Conceptual shots: 3 photos of a conceptual word. In this assignment, you are working as a conceptual photographer taking a word and then transforming it into a photo. For example if the word is joy, then you would try to come up with a photo which represents this idea. 

Go to getty images or Evolve images in Google and type in a conceptual word and get some ideas by viewing what kind of photos are connected to this word. (marks 15)
All three photos do not have to be of the same conceptual word. You need to write the name of the word under the photo and a brief description as to why  you chose it. Here are some samples word ideas: joy, love, surprise, death, end, beauty, peace, balance, creativity, fun, excitement, weathered, old, decay, freedom etc. You are not expected to complete all of these shots today....but you might start the research part of this assignment...trying to figure out what concept you want to go with to get the shot.
Uncertainty: The girl look a little uncertain as she gazes upwards.

Content: The dog looks like he is pleased/content with his day at the beach.

Busted: Just kidding, I couldn't resist!
