Chapter - 08 Digital Photography

Be sure to read this page http://digphoto.wikispaces.com/08+Digital+Photography to just barely touch on Chapter 8. The quiz on 7 & 8 will be next Friday, 4/29

NO SHOOTING ASSIGNMENTS OR EDITING SOFTWARE ASSIGNMENTS FOR THIS CHAPTER (Spring 2011)

But- if you want some extra credit, I encourage you to retouch at least one picture and create at least one composite (like on pp172-173). Composites can be wicked-fun and totally surreal. FYI any adjustment or composite pictures required in this year's portfolio list are just optional- but, again, if you want to take a stab at or or are already acquainted with image editing, I'll sure give you some extra credit for any that you do decide to do.


Picture Analysis

Please complete a Photo of the Week and choose a composite picture. You can find lots of examples in the galleries that I've given you links to below. This is due on Friday, April 29. Use the POW form-http://digphoto.wikispaces.com/Pictures+of+the+week


Read, think about and plan on writing about...

Do please check out the discussion on Ethics and Digital Imaging found on page 179.

I will put an essay question on the ch 7/8 quiz (FRI APR 29!) in which I would like you to discuss the dilemmas posed by our ability to manipulate images so easily. They used to say that "the camera doesn't lie," but let's face it- they sure can these days!

Last 6 wks of Photography

As I think I've mentioned to all 3 of you, we only have chapters 7, 8, and 9 left. I could try to cover one chapter every 2 weeks, but Lucas and Makayla are behind and all 3 of you have to get the portfolio done (http://digphoto.wikispaces.com/Portfolios). Please note that it would be best to have real prints- second best is printed on computer, but either way you can't just post them to Flickr, although you should do that too. This is why I told you about the portfolio at the beginning of the class and why I'm reminding you with more than a month to go.

Consequently, I was leaning on just having you deal with chapter 9- but then this morning I got to looking at chapters 7&8 and realized just how much they influence chapter 9. Ugh! Anyway (be patient with me) I think that I will give you a truncated version of 7&8 like I just did for chapters 3,4,5&6 but have most of the shooting assignments pretty much be from chapter 9. 

BTW, most if not all of these can end up in your portfolio- almost all of the portfolio assignments are pictures that you've either already taken as shooting assignments or will for this last unit (no need to freak out about having to take all new ones).

I should have that to you later today, although I'm sure you won't care if you don't get it till the Tuesday after Easter. I will also do my best to get you a review sheet for the final by the end of next week.

Have a great Easter Break!
