Holiday Assignment - Due Jan. 21st

HOLIDAY CAMERA ASSIGNMENT

White egg or eggs shot indoors under tungsten light. You will need to get very close to the egg and you should have a dark background with texture. Good depth of field is expected. Also remember you will need to overexpose by 1/2 to one f stop because your camera light meter tries to make white things look gray. Try several shots with different settings and from different angles. Try different lighting techniques on the egg for shadows and high lights. Remember from the lab scene that if you have a high contrast situation, it will be difficult to print.

Nature scene. Look for interesting things outdoors. It could be in a park, in your backyard, at a ski resort (Alpine Valley), at an outdoor sporting activity or any other place you find interesting. Look for curves, lines, circles, points, patterns or rhythms in the item of interest and use them to create an interesting picture. For good depth of field remember to use a high f stop (f 11 or higher) and or a high shutter speed to stop motion. If there is snow in the scene remember to overexpose. Also remember the rule of thirds and I will only accept prints that have a main point of interest. (Don't point your camera in some random direction and squeeze the shutter and then try to tell me it is good because you like it.)

NOTE:

This assignment could be on one roll of film but if you want to take more be my guest. You can buy film from me or from a store. Remember you want black and white film so most likely you will have to go to a photo store to get it.
