For your first shooting assignment, you will transform an ordinary, everyday subject into something extraordinary by using a principle of composition.
Your subject should be large enough to photograph from many different angles and points of view, (DO NOT photograph small objects like we did in class). For example, you might photograph an old car parked on your street, or your deck, or the exterior of your house, or even a favorite friend. Whatever you choose, you must follow these rules:
1) You must photograph outside, on a sunny day. Wait until noon when light casts interesting shadows and highlights. DO NOT PHOTOGRAPH INSIDE!
2) You must photograph your subject in a variety of ways, using at least two principles of composition to guide your approach, (see slideshow below).
When photographing, consider the following:
1)Shoot the same subject matter twice
2)For the first shoot, use aperature of f16 and a shutter-speed of 1/125 (Your aperature is small so almost everything will be in focus)
2) For the second shoot, keep the aperature of f16, but read the LIGHT METER and change the shutter-speed accordingly
3) Use your focusing prism to make sure your subject is in focus!
4) Load, advance,rewind, and unload film from your camera correctly. When in doubt bring your camera in to me, DO NOT OPEN IT!
5) Consider creative controls like depth-of-field and movement.
Have fun! Your first roll of film should be shot entirely, (24 exposures), rewound, and ready to process by next week. Don't procrastinate and don't rush!
