Framing Device Photo Challenge

Posted on by Ms De La Rosa

Today’s Agenda:

Photo Challenge

Due: May 6th

*Complete the Subframing Video & Questions FIRST!!*

Take a series of photographs with a VARIETY of framing devices and subject matter. You can gather items or seek out some natural frames.

Remember that framing devices are used to guide the viewer’s attention to a focal point in your image.  So you need something to frame, don’t just shoot through a frame at nothing! Subject matter can include a landscape, a person, a pet, a flower, an item of interest, etc.

Put a little thought and creativity into this!  Maybe even sketch or write down some ideas first…

  • Select your best three to edit in Lightroom.
  • Post on your blog as a gallery (medium size + link to media file) and title the post, “Framing Device”.
  • Include camera settings in the captions. 
  • Publish and copy link to attach in Teams assignment.

Here are some student examples:

Wednesday 4/24/24: Adding Portfolio Page to Your Blog

Posted on by Ms De La Rosa

Today’s Agenda:

  • Complete all previous assignments first (Clones, Rules of Comp Quiz, Subframing Video & Q’s,,,)
  • Add a Photo Portfolio page to your blog (check the extra instructions below the video! I accidentally left a part out of the tutorial).

This is just a link to the same video in case the one embedded doesn’t work.

Soooo…I forgot to show how to create a menu once you go to Customize (since mine was already created a while back I forgot about this step!). Here is a screenshot with instructions below:

After you already created a new page for your portfolio and you go to Customize:

  • Click “Menus”
  • Click “Create New Menu”. Name it (doesn’t really matter what you name it).
  • Click “Add Items” and another box with your pages will open up.  Add your home  page and the portfolio page you just made.
  • In Menu Locations select “Primary Navigation”.
  • Finally, click “Publish” on the top right to make your changes on your blog.

  • Your Photo Portfolio Page should contain a gallery with your best 10-12 photographs that  you made while enrolled in this class.
  • Change link to Media File!
  • Aim for variety: portraits (close ups and wide shots), macro, nature, animals, fashion, artistic, action, interesting camera angles, shallow depth of field, etc. Your Photo Portfolio can include photos you took outside of class projects and assignments too.
  • Publish the page and turn in the link to Teams!
You can always switch photos out past the due date of this assignment if you change your mind or create something new that you like.
Period 4: Most of you already created the photo portfolio page, so now it’s just a matter of adding or switching photos out, updating the page, and turning in the link.

Chaffey College Credits

Step 1.

If you’ve never applied to Chaffey Community College before, click this link to get started:

Application for Admission to College (opencccapply.net)

Open this PDF document with step-by-step instructions, starting on page 4 (but let me know when you have questions/need help!):

College App – Chaffey PowerPoint pdf

***It will take a couple days to receive an email from Chaffey with your college student ID number. Then you can proceed to step 2.***

Step 2.

If you already have a Chaffey College ID (or once you get one via email after applying) follow the instructions here to get on my CATEMA roster:

CATEMA Directions-PDF

I’ll take care of the rest! You just need to pass my class with at least a B-, pass the final exam with C or better, and turn in a photo portfolio (this is required for my class final anyway, more details to come).
