ASSIGNMENT: Six (of 36) Faces

For Monday, January 26, you need to shoot the first six of your 36 Faces. You need to find six people you do not know somewhere on or near campus. You need to shoot a simple head-and-shoulders vertical mug shot of them.

The first two people, shoot with your lens zoomed in to 75 mm, the second two should be around 50 mm and the last two at 28 mm. Pay attention to your backgrounds, your focus and your exposure. Shoot several frames of each person so you'll have a choice of expressions.

From each person you'll need their name, age, hometown, major (or job title) and one piece of contact information from them - phone number or email address.

Bring your camera and card to class on Monday, and we'll start the workflow process of moving images from your card to the computer and then to CDs.

You can shoot as much as you want, but make sure you don't kill your battery before completing this assignment. You can shoot more than the required six, but remember you're just learning - you may pick up some tips next week that will improve your shooting.

Let me know if you have any questions.
