What's due this week and when?

Hi Everyone,

This class will fly by... we have to get our 5 assignments done in  5 weeks...

So by Monday morning at 9 am, June 1st,

-Post a brief bio and selfie

-In it describe the equipment you are using... camera, editing, software, internet connection, computer.  If you don't have a computer and will be using a phone, I need to know that so I can tailor my comments and teaching to fit your situation

.-Read through the syllabus linked above.

-Photograph about 50 images that address the Week 2 assignment in the syllabus. Place them in your Drive portfolio.  Watch video linked above on how to create and post to and share a Google Drive portfolio.

-Post 5 or 6 of your best, edited images here on the blog.

-Post all of the images you took for this assignment to your Google Drive... 50 is about right.  Create a sub-folder for assignment and put 10 edited images that address the first assignment.  As I mentioned, you may work forward and as we progress, backward with these assignments so you have time to keep refining adding to or replacing images until the end of class.  A good ratio of shooting to editing is 5:1, that is shoot 5 to to pick your best one to edit....  take 50 for 10 for the assignment.

Here is a video I just made of what to look for in this first assignment... The emphasis it to move you beyond taking pictures of places and things and to learn to see light and design in a new, expressive way.  It means pay attention to light and fill the frame with interesting composition.
