Assignment: Elements & Principles of Photography

READ ENTIRE ASSIGNMENT. You'll need a camera (or camera phone) to find at least one example of the following types of composition (see below). Be sure to include the whole photo images, do not cut out part of the photo or reshape it by cutting it.

SHOOT TO FRAME (We'll talk about what this means). Use only real photographs, no digitally altered or animated collages. No photographs that are really images of paintings or drawings. Craftsmanship is an important part of your grade, so be neat and do label each photo with its composition type. The final product will be a POST of each type of image per page and should be POSTED by WEDNESDAY 9/27/17

**You may view today's PowerPoint presentation from Classroom if you missed anything during the class's lecture, it is titled Photo Composition.**

1. The Pictures you need to take: You may shoot in class or in the hallway outside of class, as well as at home. Pictures should be shot by Wednesday & Thursday so you can upload and put together document and post by Friday.

Leading Line – a line that leads you visually to an object or that leads into the distance creating depth. (1)

Rhythm – Objects repeating in a picture creating a feeling of depth or emphasis. (1)

Framing – shooting through something to get the main subject behind it. The subject is “framed” by something in the foreground. (1)

Horizontal – picture is wider than it is tall. (1)

Vertical – picture is taller than it is wide. (1)

Informal Balance – different things catch your eye, not just one. (multiple objects – tends to be asymmetrical.) (1)

Formal Balance – both sides of the picture are similar (symmetrical.) (1)

High Key – bright, intense, active. (1)

Low key – dark, less intense, inactive. (1)

Yearbook Practice Page

Create a practice page in the PAGE DESIGNER

Please Include:

A Title
-This should be obvious, as in, it's bolder or larger than other text on the page and clearly identify what your page is about

An Image
-At least one, but hopefully multiple images. Do not leave blue boxes, put pictures in them!

A shape
How you use a shape is up to you, maybe you use it to back your title, or behind a photo,maybe you use a large shape in the background to change the color of your page, be creative!

A stroke
This is a fancy word for a border, and can be done in the formats tab. You may put your border around a picture or a text box

A Caption
Using a text box, add a caption to one or more of your photos. Explain what is happening in a journalistic way. So instead of saying "John makes a basket during the basketball game" Say "John scores a 2 pointer against rival Colonia to help his team towards victory!"

Assignment: Photo Walk Friday!

Photowalking is a communal activity of camera enthusiasts who gather in a group to walk around with a camera for the main purpose of taking pictures of things that interests each photographer.

Your Assignment: Depth of Field

Many of you may be able to do this simply with PORTRAIT mode on your Iphone but you should understand why this mode helps make your images look so impressive.  

Managing depth of field is one of the most important tools at your disposal, because having tack sharp images is one of the most important factors to getting that great shot. Knowing how to make the parts of your image you want sharp and the parts you want to be out of focus, is a great artistic tool to create great images.

The image on the left was captured at 250th of a second at f/5.0 which resulted in a very shallow depth of field.  Because of this the background is out of focus allowing the subject to stand out. The image on the right was captured at 1/5th of a second at f/32 which created a deep depth of field and a sharper background.

On an SLR camera the lower your f-number, the smaller your depth of field. Likewise, the higher your f-number, the larger your depth of field. For example, using a setting of f/2.8 will produce a very shallow depth of field while f/11 will produce a deeper DoF.

You must POST at least ONE photo showing obvious DEPTH OF FIELD to your blog upon return from our photo walk. They will be graded Monday morning, so if you do not have time to post in class, you can do so over the weekend for homework.
