For June 29 (lab) and July 1 (Crit):

Shoot 100 images, ideally of the same person, place, or thing, in at least four different lighting environments. Try to represent at least four different color temperatures. Some examples of these include:

• “Golden Hour” (early morning or late afternoon sunlight) – WARM
• Midday, Overhead Sun – NEUTRAL (but can have harsh shadows)
• Cloudy day, overcast sky – COOL
• “Open shade” – COOL
• Incandescent or Warm LED domestic interior lights – WARM
• Candlelight – WARM
• Non-continuous spectrum emitters like green fluorescents (office building, subway), mercury vapor or sodium vapor street lamps – VARIOUS COLOR CASTS

Offload and do an initial sort of your images by the start of our individual and small group meetings next week; please show up to our meeting with your images in Lightroom according to the course drive layout, with under 20 images rated so that we can begin processing together.

Review the Lectures: (Color 1 Images & Tech), and the Tech Handout if necessary. You can also see the work that previous students did on this assignment here. 

• *All students upload 4 final, processed “Color 1” JPEGs to Google Drive by 5pm on Thursday 7/1 for Critique 2.

DoF:

Shoot 100 images in RAW format using manual settings:

• 50 using minimal DoF (selective focus: use wide apertures, long focal lengths, and GET CLOSE to achieve this effect.)
• 50 using maximum DoF (lots of focused planes: use small apertures, short focal lengths, and BACK UP to achieve this effect.)

Review the DoF Tech Info and DoF Image Examples as guides.

Have images offloaded or ready for offload at the start of our 6/15 class meeting.

MOTION:

Shoot 100 images in RAW format using manual settings, comprised of some combination of the following (try all techniques):

1. Photographing Moving Subjects
2. Photographing with a moving camera (panning—all kinds)
3. Freezing motion with fast shutter speeds
4. Rendering Motion creatively with slow shutter speeds

Review the Motion Lecture and all current class video recordings and handouts if necessary.

Have RAW images offloaded and narrowed down by your 1:1 lab session on 6/22.

FOR CRIT 1:

*All students upload 8 final, processed JPEGs to Google Drive by 5pm on Thursday 6/24: [ 4  DoF / 4 Motion ]
