Panning

Panning is a technique that can produce amazing results (if you perfect it…. or get lucky) but is also one that can take a lot of practice to get right.

The basic idea behind panning as a technique is that you pan your camera along in time with the moving subject and end up getting a relatively sharp subject but a blurred background.

Senior Pictures

Mr. Mallory still needs senior pictures for the yearbook from the following students:

Andrew Barksdale, Kayla Donscheski, Seth Elder, Derek “Omar” Erlemeier, Michael Ferguson, Brett Gliem, Nathan Head, Dillion Klein, Jacob Klein, Christopher Malone, Whiney McAllister, Mark Mefferd, Emily Melby, Ashley Reisinger, Chris Reisz, Alisha Steele, James Sullivan, Daniel Swertzic, Chase Thoreson, and Jamie Weverka.

If you do not think that you will be able to get a senior picture in by the end of February, please see Mr. Mallory about setting up an appointment to take your picture for the yearbook. If your name appears on this list, but you have already given a picture to either Mrs. Hanigan or Mrs. Staley, please ask them to be sure that Mr. Mallory is able to scan a copy of the picture you gave them. Thank you.

Introducing... Photoshop

Reading: Please read page 3 and pages 9-15 in your textbooks by Friday. We'll take a closer look at some of it together in class this week, but first-

Lab Work: By Friday, make sure you've taken, downloaded, and printed a contact sheet of your 10-12 portrait-profile-3/4 view pictures and turned the contact sheet in to Mr. Mallory with your name on it.

Wednesday/Thursday-

• Find "\\Server1\photography" on Network Places on a computer. transfer your pictures from the "my pictures" folder on the computer, or your student folder on the server to this one.
• Right-click to re-name the pictures in your sub-folder with your initials; For example, in stead of "spotty," I'd call it "TMspotty."
• Edit each of these pictures in Photoshop- make sure you make each of the following corrections:

1. Levels, (lighten Kensie)
   
2. healing brush tool, (Give Justin a smooth, clean complexion with no freckles or zits),
3. blur tool,
   
4. red eye tool, (do you see Kensie, Kaytlin, and Sasha's the problem?)
   
5. and cropping (you choose how)
