Fun with Refraction Photography!

Each of you will photograph water refractions in class. We will use various glass vases and cups. You can select a pattern, person, or scene to refract. Vases and cups may be taken outside (please be careful!), or you can use the light set up in class.

Experiment with subject matter, different glass vessels, distance, water levels, colors, and composition.

Select your best 2 photos you captured, edit in Lightroom, and post on your blog.

Large size, change link to media file.

Due by Friday May 15th!

Forced Perspective Photography

What is forced perspective?  How is it achieved?

Forced perspective is a technique which employs in-camera optical illusions to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera.

It requires STRATEGIC CAMERA ANGLES & GREAT DEPTH OF FIELD!

 Instructions:

You will be assigned a group to work with. Brainstorm some fun ideas to try together. Save all the photos you take in the process (don’t delete the “bloopers”)! Everyone needs to save all photos straight from the SD card.

Settings tips:

• AV Mode with higher aperture f-stop value (around f8-f16)
• ISO Automatic or ISO 400
• Manual Focus on the lens (MF)

Greater depth of field requires using a higher f-stop number. Aim to focus somewhere in between the foreground and background elements. But the goal is to get everything in focus and it’s not easy! Check out more tips in the screenshot below!

Posting Instructions:

1. Create a blog post titled: Forced Perspective Photography.
2. Include an explanation of what Forced Perspective Photography is and how to achieve it.
3. Edit your group’s BEST result and post individually. Link to media file, size large. Include the camera settings in the caption.
4. Type a paragraph reflection explaining how it could be improved.

Creating Super Symmetry!

Instructions: Create a 4-inch design using the video tutorial provided.

Use your own photography for this. Photos that have elements reaching the edges of the frames work best. Check out the examples below.

Click here for video tutorial!

 

Posting instructions:

Post your jpeg on your blog: size large, link to media file.

Then also post the original photo you used so we can see how you transformed it!

Want more of a challenge? You can also create a 2 inch design instead of the 4 inch that you just learned.
