Time to get over being shy ...
For Wednesday, September 3, you need to shoot 36 different people. These need to be shot vertically, with the tops of the shoulders showing to just above their heads. (Examples to the right.) Shoot the first 12 people at 75 mm, the next 12 at 50 mm and the last group at 28 mm.
Pay attention to your exposure meter - make sure you're getting a proper quantity of light and that your exposure makes sense for what you're shooting. (High enough shutter speed? Enough depth of field or too much?) Shoot several frames of each person so you have a few different expressions.
Shoot outdoors, paying attention to where the light is coming from and what's in the background. Do not do this indoors - you'll be miserable trying to get things sharp. (Note that you cannot judge sharpness on the screen on the back of the camera. Everything looks sharp, and it might not be.)
For the captions, you need their name, age, home town, major or job title and one piece of contact information (phone number or email address). In your note book, write down their shirt color, as well - this will make confirming names easier.
I would take some time Tuesday to type up your captions and then email them to yourself - you'll be able to copy and paste them very quickly then.
We'll download your images in class on Wednesday (a whole new set of buttons to push).
Questions? Fire away.
