HDR example

This was taken by Jesse J last year.  He used this website to compile the images.

And here is another example.

Simple Still Lifes

Think of the object that you would like to photograph.

Read this tutorial on lighting the object  and here is another high school's images .
If you choose to photograph food please read up on it. There is also a YouTube video (if you want to watch it at home).
In this photo tutorial, it suggests food should be shiny (and how to do it). Do you agree? When would this apply in real life?

You will be photographing your "object" in class, beginning on 4/28 (you may be able to begin celebrating on 4/27 if there is time). They will be due, EOC on Friday 4/30.

Adding onto the weekend assignment.

Just because it’s raining or foggy, there is no need not to go outside and get snapping. Yes a low auburn sun may be considered the perfect light for outdoor photography but if you live in a country where it drizzles more than it is dry your only option is to get out there and make the best of what you have to work with.
Thunderclouds can enthuse drama and tension into a shot, so meter on the clouds and set a narrow aperture to capture as much detail as possible, but don’t forget to include some foreground interest.

Even if it is pouring with rain you can still use this as a photo opportunity. For best results use a tripod, self timer and dial in a long exposure or use a narrow aperture. The resulting image should show the slow fall of the rain and convert to black and white for a more dramatic images. Duck under a protected covering like a porch or tree for some shelter.

Mark your calendars...

April 21 (Wed)- The French students will be visiting us today. (project: photograms)

Due Dates!!!!

Friday BOC: We need you to have your "night photograph" complete. Also, complete your "texture" photograph. You can decide what you want to do for that. It can be a macro photo if you like. Whatever you do, please make sure that you are using light to create your texture.

4/11/10

Gearing up to go back, I think we will need a "refresher" of sorts. We have new people joining us term 4 and loose ends from term 3.
Monday, I plan on us updating our blogs (with enviro. portraits and beginning work on our "night" shots.)
Add 5 more comments on the OHS photo blog (term 3 people, please start a fresh Word document and turn in last term's comments).
Tuesday, we will introduce ourselves to our classmates and go through the blogs as a group. I want us to focus on our strengths and where we need improvement. (A little fyi- we're going to take a break from formal portraits for a bit).


 

Have a great spring break!

Enjoy your time off everyone! Have a Happy Easter!
