Finals!
Final Camera Shoot
Camera Control - As we finish the trimester, let's set the camera controls manually with the dials to create the effects we want. You will take a total of (at least) 20 pictures that will have five different settings:
4 pictures that show Frozen Motion - Setting:TV with a shutter speed of 1000+
4 pictures that show Blurred Motion - Setting:TV with a shutter speed of 60 or less
4 pictures that show Panning - Setting:TV with a shutter speed of 60 or less, must move with subject.
4 pictures that show Great Depth of Field - Setting:AV with an F-stop of 22+
4 pictures that show Shallow Depth of Field - Setting:AV with an F-stop of 5.6 or less
You will be editing these 20 images for a "Best of" presentation.
This is your final and worth 30% of your grade. Show me what you can do, both with the camera, and in the lab. Good Luck!

Before the Finals...
Let's get all caught up and check off:
1.Group Portrait Shoots, Lighting and editing
We will be using our NEW Lighting equipment to learn about how to properly light the face for portraits by starting shooting in groups. Using both a stationary camera on a tripod and a floating camera, we will use our three lights, Main, Kicker, and Back light to capture FOUR different images that will show:
1. Correct lighting
2. Too warm
3. Too cool
4. High Contrast
2. Photo Shoot #2: Portrait and Candid
You will checkoff 5 edited portraits and 5 edited candids for a total of 10 pictures.

Photo Shoot #2: Portrait and Candid
Photo Shoot #2: Portrait and Candid
Your next shots will be portrait/candid photographs. You will checkoff 10 portraits and 10 candids with me on April 26th. Remember our class discussions about the difference between a candid and a portrait. Keep in mind the 4 to one ratio, so while you are only checking off 20 total with me, you will most likely need a minimum of 80 pictures taken to find 20 good ones for further editing.
In the meantime... we will be doing more research into the wonderful world of Digital Photography and learning more about our editing software. Finish up editing your 10 Landscapes so we can start grading those, Five Best of's and Five altered.
