Week 15

This week photo one is turning in their Conceptual assignment and working on the Multiple Exposure Assignment. Next week will be Multiple exposure. Then the next week will be panoramic (this is your midterm)

Photo AP:
Should be working on putting together their breath section for their AP portfolio.

Week 13

Photo I:
This week Photo I is taking pictures using a method called pushing.

This assignment is pushing film. Students should take a roll of film and shoot it at a higher ISO setting. Ex. If a student is shooting 400 ISO film and they want to push the film to 800 then they just set there ISO on their camera from 400 to 800. With 100 the student will adjust ISO to 400. This is used in low light situations where you might not want your subject to be blurred and the use of flash would not be advantageous. The disadvantages to this is that the pictures will have a higher level of grain and contrast.

Example:

As described above, the student will set their ISO (film speed) to a higher ISO setting (EX. if film rated speed is 400 one can push it to 800 or 1600). This allows the photographer the ability to take pictures in low light settings without the use of a flash, which might not work when using the films rated speed. 6 prints will need to be submitted for grading.

Photo II & III:
Gum over cyanotype prints.

Students should start thinking about a stop animation video they would like to make.

Example:

Stop Motion Human Skateboard - Watch more Funny Videos


Mr, F.

Summer 2010

Summer...

AP Class:
Your summer assignment has been posted on the right under important handouts. Please complete the assignments for the first day of class.

If you are to be a Senior next school year please go to artsawards.org and sign up for the national photography arts award. You will need to submit a portfolio later in the year. This is the largest national art contest in the United States.

Have a great 4th! See you in August.

Finals Week

Well, It's finals week. Did we think we would ever get here? I hope that all of you have learned a lot about photography. For those of you who will continue with me next year I will be sending out a list of assignments. Many will be assignments that will be given next year during the school year in the AP and Regular Photo II class. I advise that you go ahead and do some of these assignments over the summer so that you can have more time to experiment.

I would like to say thank you to the Seniors that have spent the last three years with me. I will miss you and I wish you well in college and your future wherever it may take you.

Have a wonderful summer.

Holiday

Christmas Break!

Photo I:
should work on a second panoramic taken with a digital camera. If you do not have a digital camera please use pictures from your final exam. Most digital cameras made in recent years are relatively good for use in class. It is best if you have a camera that can shoot in RAW mode but this is not necessary for Photo I class.

Here is an example of a panoramic shot that I took a couple of years ago. It is not a great photo. In fact it is really over exposed but it shows what PhotoMerge does. I used Bridge and PhotoMerge to put it together in about 5 minutes. This is what our first digital assignment will be in class when you return.



Photo II:
Shoot the next 100 shots for your movie. When you get back you should have 300 shots done. We will be working with the Salted Paper process when you return. This is a very finicky process and requires much care to detail on your part in order to turn out correctly. We will also be making our coating for albumen printing and coating paper for that process. When you return the outside assignment "Squished" will be due. We will have presentations on Friday of your work.

Have a great holiday
