Photography Final

Famous Photographer Group PowerPoint

For this assignment you will be asked to study a famous photographer’s work, and then create a PowerPoint on their style and techniques for photography. You will be working with a classmate on this project, no more than two students per group.  This assignment is worth 50 points.  Select a photographer from the website:  http://www.masters-of-photography.com/

Some Recommendations:
Ansel Adams                Minor White
Irving Penn                  Imogen Cunningham
William Eggleston        Edward Weston
Jerry Uelsman               Stephen Shore
Dorthea Lang               William Henry Fox Talbot
Cindy Sherman             Harry Callahan
Lewis Hine

Spend some time looking through their work; find one that interests you and your partner.  You must approve your photographer with Mrs. Shaum before starting your Power Point, two groups cannot use the same photographer so if someone has already selected the one you want, you will have to choose a different photographer.

 Please format your PowerPoint in the following manner: 

Slide 1: Photographers name, your names and date 

Slide 2 & 3: Introduce your photographer, giving information on the person’s background. Include information like: when they were born and died, what type of equipment they used, where they went to school or learned about photo, other artists who may have inspired them, awards or special honors. 

Slides 4-7: Choose four photographs from the photographer you picked that are creative and interesting. Make sure you describe the photos and how the photographer worked with the subject(s) to make a creative and interesting photo—be very specific! Also include any type of composition, lighting and camera techniques that you see in this photographer’s work.  Include titles & years for the examples, you will need to look up the title of the work and write it down when you are researching. 

Slide 8: Use this paragraph to describe how you are inspired by the photographer’s work and how you will use the ideas you have learned to influence your own work for future photo assignments. You will be taking your own photos using what you learned from your photographer so make sure it makes sense.

Slide 9-12: Each person in your group will take 4 photos using your photographer as inspiration. Put 2 images on each slide labeled with your name and title your photograph.

Save your work to your student drive. Make sure you save as you go so your work is not lost. When you are done with the PowerPoint, check it off with Mrs. Shaum.  You will be presenting this to the class.

*Use complete sentences

*Spell Check

*Make sure to include titles with the artwork

You should have 12 slides total when finished

Assignment Due:

B day: Tuesday Dec. 4th

A day: Wednesday Dec. 5th

[If you want the extra credit it MUST be in on the day it's due]

 

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]

 

Extra Credit

This is your only opportunity for extra credit this semester!!! If you need it take advantage! Your extra credit is taking extra HDR images and turning them in as a final product. You can take up to 3 extra HDR image giving you a total of 5 differnt locations and a total of 25-35 images.

 

HDR Student Examples

[you can do this good or better!]

 

 

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!

Photo 2 portrait assignment

Portrait Photography

Objective: Exploring lighting and compositions using yourself and toerh people as your subjects. To learn how to find and create the most effective lighting situations for portrait photography. To think and compose creatively, using the compositional elements we have discussed.

Project: You will shoot at least 30 exposures. Focus half of your images on self-portraits and the other half on portraits of other people. [friends/family/strangers] For the self-portraits, say something unique about yourself. Turn yourself into a fictional character. Show yourself as you think you are, as you wish to be, as you think others see you, or simply make yourself a character in an interesting image. Whatever you do, make the image more interesting than a simple mug shot! Portraits do not need to be only pitures of a person's face. 

Be experimental: Try different camera angles, poses, background, shutter speed, and spertures. Seek out interesting backgrounds and avoid backgrounds which distract from your subject. Try getting close with the camera. Then move back for distance shots. Bracket [take 3 or 4 shots at varying exposures of anything you think might make a strong image]. Try out the different lighting techniques learned in class:

Side lighting [45 degrees]

Side lighting [90 degrees]

Front lighting

Backlighting [silhouette]

Turn in:

5 enhanced 8x10 images [1 must be a self portrait]

3 portraits must be retouched

Contact sheet [30 images]
