Lab Hours

A reminder that the lab will only be open on Thursday, October 30, from 1:45-4:30 p.m. On Tuesday, November 4, it will be open from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Your photo story images are due by 4:30.)

ASSIGNMENT: Stop, Pan & Blur

Due by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, November 7, three photos - one stop action, one pan and one blur - as discussed in class. Complete captions are, as always, required. 

Remember the pan will be the most difficult - practice, practice, practice - and don't trust the screen on the back of the camera. Make sure you can see faces, and no cars or buses ...

ASSIGNMENT: Photo Story, Part 1

By 2 p.m. 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 4, you need to upload 3-5 photos from your photo story. This is a first look, an introduction to what will become your multimedia piece. 

Focus on an individual, as that will be easier for you. Preferably someone who does something visual. Make sure they understand that you'll be back, several times, over the course of the next few weeks. 

(The Tuesday deadline is due to the campus being closed on Friday, October 31.)

ASSIGNMENTS: Light Redo and Campus Feature

For Friday, October 17, by 4:30 p.m. please put a second run at the Light assignment on the server. Remember to think about the quality of light, the color of it and the direction of it. Think about shadows and form, how the light is reacting with your subject. If you're shooting at sunrise or sunset, be sure to bump your White Balance to the Sun setting - that will help preserve the golden colors.

For Friday, October 24, by 4:30 p.m., please put a Campus Feature on the server. This is a stand-alone, found photo from the campus area. It should not be part of an event - this needs to be something you couldn't plan for in advance. This is a semi-scavenger hunt, go have some fun. Extra points for humor.

ASSIGNMENT: Light

One photo - show the beauty of light. Find a great subject and put it in great light. Think about shooting early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Content counts, too.

Due on the server by Friday, October 10 at 4:30 p.m.
