This assignment has 4 purposes:
- To make sure that your camera works.
- To see if you can use the basic controls on your cameras.
- To see if you can upload your images to a computer and process them properly.
- To see how creative you can be illustrating ideas.
Your goal is to make photographs that illustrate 10 of the words on the scavenger hunt list.
The Process:
Set your camera to RAW + JPG mode [note: you will only have to use this mode for this assignment]
Set your camera to monochrome Picture Style/Picture Control/Film Simulation mode
This setting is different on each camera. If you google your camera name plus “black and white picture mode” you should find a tutorial that’s specific to your camera. Ask me if you need help! [Note: we’re only using this for the first assignment. This is not the best way to convert to black and white. But it does give you a black and white preview in the camera!]
Shoot in Manual mode (M). Use autofocus if you like, but control the exposure.
Upload your images using Bridge.
Rename your files Lastname_YYMMDD_0001 (ex: Hemmerle_200115_0001)
Select one image to illustrate each word. You can only turn in one image for each word!
Make a folder called Lastname_200203_SELF on the class google drive, and upload your JPG and writeup files into it.
Print each image at 8.5” x 11” on any printer you have access to.
NOTE- All the images you turn in for this assignment should be made AFTER 15 JAN 2020.
Checklist:
- Am I turning in exactly 10 images?
- Are the images properly named?
- Are the images black and white?
- Don’t forget to do a write up!
