Homework for 5/6


Assignment : Portrait : Due for Wednesday's class 5/13
Produce three portraits and one self-portrait. They may be people you know or don't know. They can be candid or not, but should reveal something about you and/or the person photographed that is somehow different than ordinary snapshots you might make of them. Produce at least four prints and include printed contact sheets for images shot. There is no minimum or maximum number of images to shoot, but keep in mind that your contact sheet will represent all of the work you put forth...or didn't.

Assignment: Make a photo-collage in the style of David Hockney done in Photoshop:

Post your new Hockney-style image by Saturday 5PM to Flickr. We will look at them on Monday. It does not need to do be a portrait. You may choose whatever subject you wish. Think about making your images all with the same camera settings so you can make an adjustment and apply it to all images in Lightroom before exporting to Photoshop.
This is a completion assignment. You will not receive a letter grade.

Assignment: Load your Symbol images to the server by the end of Wednesday

Did you get the name and password from class? Normally I will not ask you to make both prints and upload images, but in this case I would still like to see you RAW+sidecar images to evaluate your image-manipulation skills.

Optional: Make an HDR image to share with the class. We will work on this in-class on Monday. If you would like to get started, look at the directions listed here.

Extra credit: Make a panorama image by to share with us. This panorama will make up for a late assignment you may have had. You may do this any time but send me an e-mail to let me know that it is on your Flickr page for credit.

I apologize for my over-reaching of activities with today's class! We will talk more about Photoshop and HDR on Monday as I didn't give you quite enough to work from.
