Shooting Assignment 1. | (overdue- upload the 3-5 best to our new Flickr group ASAP!)
Pay particular attention to pages 6-11, then shoot a variety of different pictures this week. Take some pictures with close subjects and some further away, indoors and out, in the shade and in the sun. Shoot a variety of subjects, portrait, landscape, and action scenes. Page 9 will have some ideas. Take at least 5-10 pictures. In some ways these pictures will serve as another pre-test, to gauge your skill levels.

Shooting Assignment 2. Due. Monday. Jan 25 (upload to your new Flikr stream, then add the best 2-3 to our Class Flickr Group)
WHO ARE YOU? You are the cheapest model you'll ever hire! Everybody's always taking pictures of themselves on facebook. Can you do it without having your arm in the picture? Could you use a mirror? How about the self-timer on you camera? Take a series of pictures of yourself, but try to be original and creative and try to express something about yourself. Take between 5 and 20, delete the worst ones, upload the best 3-10 to your new Flickr stream and then take the best 2-3 and add them to our Class Group- I already have mine there (you can see them at http://www.flickr.com/

Next week I will have Picture Self-Evaluation Rubrics on the wiki and will have you fill one out for each of your best shots for each of these 3 assignments. Once you all join the Flickr group, you'll be able to leave comments on each other's work too. Remember to Click here to take the Camera Parts Quiz online and be studying pp. 20-27 in the book. Next week's quiz will be a lot tougher than either of the 2 quizzes this week. You may want to use the practice quizzes on the online textbook's website- go to chapter one, and then to "multiple choice." What you want to study is using aperture and shutter speed together to control exposure. This is the most technical/scientific part of photography. After this we'll focus more on composition and expression.
