Due dates: 10/13, 10/27, 11/10, 11/30

For the months of October and November you will be responsible for completing one photo challenge independently every two weeks. You must pick a different challenge each time, in any order, and post according to instructions below. You will turn in 4 photo challenges total.

Objectives:

To become more proficient and familiar with the photographic process.
To express yourself visually and to demonstrate your observational and technical skills.
To practice camera angles, camera settings, elements of art, and rules of composition.

Photo Taking Instructions:

You can use your smartphone or a DSLR camera. Some challenges might require certain settings, so you’ll need a DSLR for those.
Take at least 15 photos for each challenge. Save ALL your photos to your OneDrive.
Use your free time to take the photos. You must be caught up with all your assignments if you want to take photos during our class period.
Select the best 3 photos you captured for a challenge to edit in Lightroom.
