Christmas Letter Art

We did it!  We made it to MOA to spend the afternoon looking for letters in objects.  Let's see how it turned out!  Today we will spend most of our time downloading our photos off the cameras and onto our storage site.  Once your photos are available, we will move into Fotor to begin editing.  My hope is to be finishing up this project by next Tuesday.  That gives us 2 class periods for editing and submission.  After your project is submitted, we will print and laminate them for our Christmas bulletin board display.  

Don't forget...you need a portrait photo (of yourself) to use for our next project. This portrait needs to be taken either by you or a partner.   If you would like to do an extra one with friends, family, etc... please let me know.  There is a $3 charge for each portrait project (this includes the canvas, print and supplies).

Welcome to Quarter 2 Digital Photography!

Welcome!  I am excited to get started on this quarter's photography projects.  Let's look again at what we talked about yesterday in class...

We looked at examples of Rule of Thirds, High Angle (Bird's Eye View), Low Angle (Worm's Eye View) and Frame within a Frame.  Please take time to scroll down the page to see even more examples of these categories from last quarter.  The categories we talked about are going to be used throughout the quarter and incorporated into our projects.

As we get ready for our first project, I assigned all of you to take at least one QUALITY photo of a CREATIVE subject that could be used as a letter.  Please bring this to class on FRIDAY to receive 10 points.  If an assignment is 1 class period late, it will be given 75% of your score.  If it is late by 2 class periods or more, you will receive 50% of your score.  Please stay on top of assignments!  

I look forward to seeing all of you on Friday!!
