Plan for today

OK guys, sorry I couldn’t be in today, looking after sick kid and Mom. It’s just a cold though, so no worries.

Continue working on your ISO and Focal Length Focus Assignments. Catch up on any missing work, especially Focus assignments! Almost all of you fit into the category of missing at least one.

The Get Close Photo Challenge will still be due on Friday.

If you have finished everything, post photos to your flickr accounts, and the the HHS Photography group and make comments on at least five other students’ works

Remember all of you need to have a blog up and running before the end of the semester. No time like the present.

I will be back tomorrow for picture taking and some serious voting!!

This Week’s Focus Assignment: ISO and Focal Length

ISO: What is it? Why is it important? In What situations would  you want a higher ISO number? In what situation would you want the lowest ISO number? What happens if it is set too high? Why is it important to check your ISO settings before taking pictures?

Focal Length: What is it, why is it important. What is it measured in? What is a fixed focal length lens? How does it affect the way my picture looks?

This Week’s Photo Challenge: Get Close!

Using a macro lens or fixed focal length lens, you will get to the heart of the matter. Focus on one thing and one thing only! Make the viewer experience an intimate moment, keep it nice and simple, and get close!
