Assignment

Take photos in 2 different locations. You will have 5-7 different exposures of the same image in each location giving you 10-14 photos total. Make sure to use a tripod or set your camera down on something that will not move. If you move while taking your different exposures your HDR will not work! [for help on taking photos scroll down and read for further instructions]

What is HDR?

High Dynamic Range photography is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of exposures (the range of values between light and dark areas) than normal digital imaging techniques.  The intention of HDR is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.

How do I start?

1.   Use a tripod, perfectly stable, with a cable release if possible.  Make sure nothing is moving in the scene and that you do not move.  Merging your exposures only works with different exposure of an identical scene. They will not line up accurately if you or something in the scene moves.

2.   Figure out what your aperture and shutter would be for an average exposure.  To do this, put your camera in P mode, point at the scene and press half way down on your shutter release.  Notice in your viewfinder it will recommend an aperture and shutter to be used for an accurate exposure. 

3.   Set your camera on Manual, Select ISO (usually 100 ISO on tripod), and set your aperture and shutter speed according to the cameras recommendation from step #2.  Take your first shot.

4.   From here you will take several more exposures of the scene by only changing your shutter speeds.  Do not change your aperture (f-stops) because doing so will change your depth-of-field.  Changing the shutter speed will give you the largest range in shadow and highlight detail.

*If you do not have a Manual setting on your camera, use your Exposure Override function on your camera.  Ex: (0, +1, +2, -1, -2)

Camera Modes Assignment

Camera Modes Assignmnet

Due Monday November 19th (B day)

Tuesday November 20th (A day)

 

Objectives: This assignment deals with the basic camera modes of your camera. Since most of you cannot adjust the shutter speed and aperture on your cameras we are using different camera modes to get the desired images.

 

1. Motion - take ten photos of something in motion.  Five photos using SPORTS Mode and five using NIGHT Mode. Sports mode should help you stop motion and Night mode should help blur motion.  These pictures need to be thought out with good composition to earn credit!

(Slower shutter speeds blur motion and faster shutter speeds stop motion)

 

2. F/STOP or APERTURE - Take ten photos. Five photos using the PORTRAIT or MACRO Mode (your choice) and five using the LANDSCAPE Mode. Take photos of five different objects. Photograph it once with portrait mode and once with landscape mode so we can see if there is a difference in the how the background looks. The idea is that portrait mode will make the background behind your subject more blurry and landscape mode helps make more things in focus. These pictures need to be thought out with good composition to earn credit!

 

 

Photo 1 Substitute Assignment

Please do not start this assignment until your PHOTO MANIPULATION ASSIGNMENT IS COMPLETELY DONE! {requirements for what is due is on the white board} If you finish everything for the manipulation then go ahead and keep reading for your next assignment.....

First thing. Watch these 2 videos. They are quick and painless. You can watch them over if you need more help with these 2 tools when working on your own photos. You will be learning about the PATCH TOOL and the SPOT HEALING TOOL. These tools are like the clone tool that you already learned about, but used for different images. The spot healing tool especially is used to edit blemishes out of faces.




The next video you need to click on THIS LINK to watch the video. This will show you how easy it is to work with the spot healing tool.

After you watch these 2 videos go the the 704 FILE>PHOTOGRAPHY>PHOTO1>PS TUTORIALS>#9 SPOT HEALING  Directions on what to do will be in there along with your assignment that will be turned in later this week. Have fun!
