Action Photomerge

Now that you've mastered the Photomerge assignment, you'll be taking 3 more Photomerge "Scenes" but this time with a subject in each of the photos in your "Scenes", making multiple versions of the same person in each "Scene".
Make sure to put your subject in the direct center of each of your photos.
Your 3 "Action Photomerges" will be due at the end of the first 100 minute period on the week we get back from Spring Break.

Work Day

Today is a day best spent getting caught up if you're behind and missing assignments in the class. This doesn't mean that you can go out and shoot today during class.  You can't. 
This is an opportunity to be organizing the photos that are already in your iPhoto. 
Whether it's using Photoshop to "File", "Automate", "Photomerge" your scenes for your "Photomerge" assignment, or creating contact sheets for "Andy Goldsworthy", "LTP", or any other assignment you may be missing.  You should use this time wisely to get work done today.
Your substitute will not be checking out cameras to you today.
I will be back tomorrow.
If you're done with everything you can work quietly on other homework today during class.

The Shutter Speed Assignment

For this assignment you will need to have 5 Photos taken at with a Slow Shutter Speed, and 5 photos taken with a Fast Shutter Speed.

All ten photos will need to be properly exposed to receive full credit for each photo!!!

The 5 Slow Shutter Speed photos should express a motion through "tracer" or "blur" effect that occurs at slower shutter speeds. Try to incorporate an interesting environment as your backdrop.
(Example: Cars at night on a freeway with a cityscape in the background. The car lights look like a river of light with buildings in the background.)

The 5 Fast Shutter Speed photos should "freeze" time in the middle of an action.
(Example: Having someone jump in midair. Their body should have NO blurry or tracer effect. It should be perfectly frozen in time and properly exposed.

All 10 photos are due by the end of class on Tuesday the 1oth or Wednesday the 11th.
