Remember: • WORK IT! Shoot eight pictures of the same subject, move around, use different focal lengths and allow yourself enough time as not to make redundant pictures. • Try to shoot verticals, at least two verticals required per category. • Avoid centering your subject or distracting backgrounds, fill the frame. • Avoid the common (pedestrian pictures). Look for the interesting and different. • Write a complete caption for each of the eight final photos, who, what, why, when and where. • Include people in at least 4 categories. Turn In: • Drop a folder named with the class ID and your last name into the “Drop Box” during the first five minutes of class – Wait for my direction! Example of folder name, (340_fitzgerald). • Inside that folder you will have nine other folders, one folder named, “edit” and the other eight each named for a category of this assignment. Inside each of those eight folders are 8 photos of that category. See my examples. • Each assignment will have a specific file naming scheme. This is your first assignment so you will use a one-thousand series number. File name should read, picture category (see above), underscore, any four digit number starting with a one. Example, (shadow_1243). You will lose points if directions are not followed.
