Photo Assignments11/15: For photo assignment #5, there are two options. The first option is for you to take a photograph specifically to create a grayscale version of it with a highlighted object in color (not the color it originally had). The second option is to take an old black and white image that you already have that you'd like to scan-in and then colorize. If you do not have a scanner, you can use mine in my office. Upload both the original image and your colorized images to your Flickr account, put them in the Flickr group pool and tag them both as pa05. The due date for this assignment is November 29th. 10/06: For photo assignment #4, you'll be using a long exposure to create an image based on lights. It might be illuminated head-lights and/or tail-lights as the "interesting" aspect. It might be a flashlight or laser pointer being used by you or another. Things can be still or in motion. There can be one or many lights. If you go out in the evening or night or early morning, please choose a safe place and maybe bring a friend or two for company since you might need to wait a bit for what you're hoping for. Do NOT put yourself in harm's way (eg: do NOT try taking a shot in the midst of traffic). You should really take several, and then select one to put in the Flickr group pool and tag as pa04. If you have a few that you like, you can always add the others to your individual portfolio. The due date isn't until Wednesday, November 2nd - I'd like you to do in sooner, but I am making the due date this far away so you'll have some time to think about ideas and try some out and still have time if they don't go the way you hoped. Also, this allows for some Halloween-theme shot opportunities. 09/23: There are two shadow-themed sub-options for photo assignment #3. The first is "meaning in shadows" where you compose a photograph so that the shadow has the meaning or look of interest. For example, in this image by George Steinmetz the things that look like camels are really the shadows of camels. The second is "hidden in shadows" where you will compose a photograph where something is hidden in the dark and you use selective level adjustment to create a second version from that image where the hidden thing is revealed. Post it (or them in the second case) to the Flickr group and give it (or them) the tag pa03. Also, in the description part of the Flickr page, give a brief explanation of how you decided to create the image. Since this assignment should take some planning time, the due date will be Thursday, October 6th before class time. 09/15: For photo assignment #2, you are asked to take an interesting photo or pair of photos showing something to do with light. It could be something with shadows. It could be something with first and second shutter flash and a friend walking with a flashlight. It could have to do with colors or contrast. If in doubt, send me an e-mail message at egolubUMD@gmail.com asking if what you have in mind fits the spirit of the assignment. Whatever you do photograph, please post it to the class Flickr group and give it (or them) the tag pa02. Also, in the description part of the Flickr page, give a brief explanation of how your image uses light or demonstrates something related to light. The due date for this is Thursday, September 22nd before class time. 09/08: For photo assignment #1, you are asked to go out and try to take a simple portrait-style photograph of a person who agrees to a simple time-for-jpg model-release agreement. If you ask a few people and they all say no, fear not, you can also take a portrait-style photograph of an object such as a stuffed animal. Whatever you do photograph, please post it to the class Flickr group and give it the tag pa01. If it is a person, please don't post their name. You'll need to sign up for a free Flickr account if you don't already have one. You don't need to use your real name, you can make up a nickname for you account if you'd like. Just please send me Flickr-mail on the site telling me who you are from your account there. The due date for this is Thursday, September 15th before class time. |
