Week 2 Assignments Turned In

Christine — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 14:54:51 +0000

Here’s what I turned in this week. The weather and our schedules did not cooperate to allow me to shoot as much as I wanted, but such is life! Which one is your favorite this week?

Photography Class Week 2

Okay, I am starting to work on my assignment for this week. I have to have three pictures. One where you focus on something unexpected and have the rest blurry.

That is this one – I am focusing on her feet. We’re also supposed to work on Bokeh, (which is like the light circles you see in the background. So this picture kills two birds with one stone in a way.

And one of our assignments is to include some background. That is this one.

These look a lot better in Photoshop then on here. I’ll be taking some more tomorrow I’m sure, so we’ll see what we end up with in the end.

My final picture is using the rule of thirds (or something like that – don’t have my notes in front of me). Essentially you divide your picture into nine squares and the eye needs to focus on the intersections. I’m sure you could look it up online. I haven’t taken that picture yet.

Photography Class Week 1

Christine — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 00:54:22 +0000

I had my first photography class last night. I am so excited that my best friend is taking it with me!

This first week we are learning to shoot in manual mode. So today was my very first day trying that! I am excited about the possibilities once I get the hang of it!

By Tuesday, I have to have 4 photos, of people, to send in (two portrait – up and down and two landscape – sideways). Two need to be taken inside (with natural light near a window) and two need to be taken outside. We take them to the best of our ability in manual mode and then do minimal editing in Photoshop (we are only allowed to adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation). Our teacher is going to print them in 5×7 for us and also put them into a PowerPoint presentation (with everyone else’s in the class) so we can all see each other’s work.

So here are my top 3 of today. Hopefully by Tuesday I will have something to turn in!
