4/14 Photo Challenge: Snow


Take a color photo that has a good amount of snow. It can be up close, or far away, or anywhere in between. Put the picture into Lightroom and turn it black and white. 


For this assignment, it’s very important that you think back to the Zone System. Your snow should be level 10 (X) - the whitest white in the photo. You will also need to have the blackest black somewhere in your photo. That will be level 0. Then you will continue editing the photo so that you have several other varying shades of grey from 1 (I) to 9 (IX).


When you have finished this Photo Challenge, you may continue working on your Famous Photographer #3 assignment from yesterday.

1.  Finish this week's projects
2. Begin preparing for the midterm.  You'll need 2 photos from each category:

​Conceptual and Abstract
• Photograph the sound of silence
• Capture a shadow with no light source
• Document the color of Wednesday
• Photograph something that doesn’t exist yet
• Take a portrait of someone’s personality (not their face)
• Capture the feeling of a word you can’t pronounce

Technical Expertise
• Shoot a perfectly exposed photo in complete darkness — no light source allowed
• Capture motion blur on something completely stationary and without moving the camera
• Take a wide-angle close-up from far away
• Photograph your subject from exactly 0 inches   away
• Get a crisp, tack-sharp image of something invisible

Logistically Advanced
• Photograph the back of your own head — without a mirror, reflection, or second person
• Capture a candid photo of yourself, alone
• Take a photo of your camera using only your camera
• Photograph all four seasons in a single frame — today

Deep Artistic Vision
• Capture the exact moment before something happens — but don’t photograph the thing itself
• Document the concept of Tuesday
• Photograph a metaphor, but make it literal — or a literal, but make it metaphorical
• Show what infinity looks like, but keep it vertical
• Create a long-exposure shot with a 1/2000 shutter speed

The Grand Finale 
• Using only natural light, a 50mm lens, and your creative vision… photograph nothing. But make it mean something.

April Fools Day!

​
Here's today's actual assignment. Gather 20 of your best images this semester and edit / enhance in Lightroom.  Anything that is blurry, over or underexposed will be marked down.


Your effort will show. "I gathered 20 of my best pictures for the midterm" is not the same as "I gathered 20 of my best pictures for the midterm, adjusted the exposure and or applied Lightroom Presets so they can be the best representation of my photographic skills."

Just gather your work and put it in a folder on your desktop for tomorrow.

All classes - Weekly Vocab: Focal Length.
Use the internet to find and save one photo taken with a wide-angle lens (e.g. 18–24mm), one with a normal lens (around 50mm), and one with a telephoto lens (85mm or longer). Look for images where the focal length clearly changes the feel of the shot — compression, distortion, or field of view.​
