Assignment #3 (Continued)

Good afternoon!  Welcome back junior high students!!  I missed you last week, but am so excited to hear that your retreat went well.  It was amazing to hear all the stories of how God worked within your group!  I look forward to hearing more from you!

Since we have had a busy week with CFS and new computers arriving, we will pick-up where we left off on Friday, September 26th.  Today we will focus on the following tasks:


1.  Make sure you have at least 10 QUALITY photos from each category.


2.  Upload your photos to Dropbox.


3.  Once your photos are taken and uploaded to Dropbox, I will send a link to your email so that you have access to them.  


4.  Lastly, you will work in Fotor to edit your photos.  Editing will go as follows:



  • Make sure to consider how you crop the photo
  • When editing your photos, use the tools listed below.  You might use some variation of certain tools in all your photos, while other tools you might use only once or twice (depending on what look you are trying to create).  Play around and have fun with this...there is so much you can do with it!  I will list a few things that MUST be used in at least 2 photos in EACH category.
    • Lens Flare
    • Black and white photo
    • Black and white photo with Color Splash
    • Tilt Shift (Bokeh)
    • Text 
  • You will need to choose a FILTER & FRAME for each photo.  You will do this by using Classic, LOMO, Vintage or Cool.  You can also use tools I haven't mentioned above.
  • STICKERS can only be used in 1 photo per category.
  • Lastly, you will put all edited photos into a slideshow and send it to me.
