Next Assignment - 33 More Faces

For Wednesday, September 5 ...

You need to bring your total number of faces up to 36 - 12 of them at 75 mm, 12 at 50 mm, 12 at 28 mm. Collect the name, age, hometown, major (or job title) and one piece of contact information (phone or email) from each person. Bring your card (and camera) to class on Wednesday - we'll be going through the download, batch captioning, renaming and editing procedure.

Below are some of the images from past classes as examples. Remember, shoot verticals, watch your backgrounds. Keep an eye on your exposure - don't let the shutter speed drop too low.

Fire away with questions or comments.

As we do not have class on Monday, you do not need clips for next week - the next set will be due on September 10.

For Wednesday

Assignment: Three mug shots - head and shoulders, shot vertical. One at 28 mm, one at 50 mm and one at 75 mm.

These will be the first three of the 36 Faces assignment. They are to be people you don't know and you'll need to get their names, ages, hometowns, majors (or job titles) and one piece of contact information (phone or email).

Moments in mug shots are rare, but controlling your background and filling the frame are important here. Watch out for bad light, low light, high contrast light, things growing out of heads, awkward expressions. Make sure your shutter speed doesn't fall below 1/60 of a second.

Questions? Ask away, by email or in the comments section if you think others will benefit from the info.

Slip N Slide

As promised ...

Welcome

This is here as much for you guys as it is for me. I'll post items of interest to the class, along with updates to deadlines and such if there are changes.

I want you folks to post stuff, too. See a great online photo package? Share the link. Have a question about a photo you saw somewhere? Ask about it. Comment on each other's posts.

As silly as this may sound, being able to understand how a blog works - and how to establish a conversation via one - is important to editors these days.

And don't forget to check out the main blog - http://ugapj.blogspot.com - you're responsible for information posted there as, well.
