Friday Dec 16 Have a safe Holiday

Remember to turn your cameras off when not using them. Also when shooting your videos keep your shots short. Do not forget to bring the cameras back after the holidays.

 Use the chat on teams if you need to reach me over the holidays re: a camera question.

Light Photography

LIGHT PHOTOS ASSIGNMENT: You are to take 15 light photos experimenting with manual settings (slow shutter speed). I would like you to try to use photoshop to edit and maybe combine a few photos together. This assignment focuses on creativity in creating and editing. Marks 20 

 Here are some helpful bits of information to help you with Light Photography. 

SETTINGS: Make sure camera and lens are on manual. Move settings to the following:

SHUTTER SPEED:10 sec- 30 sec

ISO:100

FSTOP: F8.0

USE A TRIPOD AND MANUALLY FOCUS BEFORE YOU TURN THE LIGHTS OFF

Light sources: flashlights, phone lights, finger lights, sparklers, sparkle/fairy lights, gloves with lights on them.

Space: anywhere where you can get as full darkness as possible. IF USING THE DRAMA ROOM, YOU ARE ONLY IN THE CHANGE ROOM WITH PERMISSION. NO ONE SHOULD BE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE DRAMA ROOM.

Thurs Dec 1

Sorry I am not here today. We will reschedule the slideshow presentations for  Friday. Your priority today is to print out your good photos and get them put on to black paper.

The double sided tape is in my second drawer down on the right and the paper is on my desk on the right hand side of the computer stand-in up with the other books. Just use the library printer since I am not there to use the other printer.

Once you have printed out your photos, continue working on:

• Product shoot
• Black and white photos
