Marvelous Monday 3/14/22: Creating Folders in One Drive

Today’s Agenda:

  • Creating organized folders in One Drive
  • Unseen Observer Scavenger Hunt Assignment (Challenge #1 due this week)
  • This week we begin the Studio Portraits with your mask!  Reserve your day to use studio during class or 2nd lunch!

Create a folder in your One Drive titled, The Unseen Observer.

In that folder create 4 more folders:

  1. Scavenger Hunt
  2. Studio Portraits_6
  3. Studio Still Life_4
  4. Environments_6

In the Scavenger Hunt folder create 5 folders with the scavenger hunt challenges you plan to try.  (You can do all of them but I will require only 5 of the challenges for points).


Portrait Pose Ideas

You need 4 from shoulders and up and 2 from waist and up.  Total 6 that you will edit and turn in.  So take lots of photos!!

Monday 3/14/22: Strike a Pose!

Today’s Agenda:

  • Strike a Pose Photo Assignment
  • Catch Up on Past Assignments! Quarter 3 grades are due this week!

Strike a Pose!

Due Thursday 3/17

 

Objective: Practice posing subjects in front of interesting backgrounds.  Use a wide depth of field to capture the whole scene in focus and your subject’s full body.

Instructions:

If you haven’t already, you need to watch the videos posted on Wednesday 3/9.

You will work in groups of 2 or 3 for this assignment.  You will take turns as photographers and subjects! Take 10-15 full-body photos using your group members as your subjects.  Then switch roles. The third person can act as an assistant to the photographer.

When taking photos, help your subject achieve more interesting poses while you take into account how you’re composing the shot.  Will you center them? Place them off-center at rule of thirds?  How does the subject fit into the surroundings?  What camera angles will you try?

Do not delete your photos! I want to see everything you captured.

Have some fun!  The poses do not have to be dramatic but they can be. Try to find some interesting spots on campus!

What you’ll turn in:

Post your best 3 edited shots to your blog and include all your settings in the captions. (Click here for a refresher on how to do this).

Take a screenshot of all the photos you took and saved into your OneDrive.

On Teams you will submit the link to your blog post AND the screenshot of all your shots. (Do not post the screenshot on your blog, you’ll attach this separately).

Camera Settings:

  • Mode: Manual (M)
  • Aperture F-stop: between 5.6 – 8
  • Shutter Speed: 1/100 or faster (such as 1/200, 1/400)
  • ISO: 100-400 (the lower the ISO the better!)
  • Use your exposure meter to help you choose the settings!
  • Automatic Focus AF (set on the lens itself)
