2011-12 Picture-a-Day

Hey Photographers- next year we're going to try something pretty ambitious for Yearbook. We're going to try to have a feature photo to chronicle each and every day! The top 2/3 will have group pictures and candids of teams and groups like any other yearbook, but the bottom 1/3 will have a little 5-day calendar with slots for pictures. 

There's no way I can pull this off alone. So, make plans on keeping a "photo-journal" every week. This should help us get pages done week by week, and it will help us try to get every hs student in the yearbook 3 times. We can use these pictures on the school website AND for Photography assignments if you're taking that class.

Also: We really want to have Baseball & Softball pictures in the 2011-12 yearbook, so PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE try to take some and be sure to email them to me as soon as you do! Othber shots you might want to try for that we can use in yearbook and Photo class (maybe even website) are 4th of July in Dunlap or Dow City,  4H and the 4 County Fair, again, email them to me or upload them to Flickr as soon as you get them and we'll go from there. THANKS!!!

Whoops!

I sent lessons for all day, but (barring unforeseen complications) I'm
planning on coming in after lunch- I should be there for 5th/6th
hours.

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!
