Walk to downtown Saratoga. Shoot with the intention of using the golden mean to frame and compose a shot. Each student will hand in 5 different photos each depicting a different subject used to study and capture the golden mean. AT LEAST ONE PHOTO WILL USE PANNING AND ONE PHOTO WILL USE HIGH SHUTTER TO FREEZE AN ACTION.
How is the golden mean different than the rule of thirds? How are they alike? Which is more useful to a photographer? Is one just the lazy cousin of the other? (This prompt will be answered at the end of the day Thursday in the comment section of this post).
Thur Agenda:
- Photoshop Crop Tool and Golden Spiral (10min)
- Photoshop Revision to 9/10 shoot (downtown saratoga) (20 min)
- Topic discussion: Metering
- Photoshop Revisions (cont.)
- Upload classwork
- Cover weekend assignment
You will crop, align horizontals and make image adjustments to photos from the week, including your homework from 9/8 and the classwork from the downtown Saratoga shoot.
When complete you will upload your finals.
Thursday Topic:
Metering-determines which part of the frame or scene is being evaluated to determine exposure. This is useful in auto and some semi-auto modes (P, Av, Tv).
To better help you understand what your camera can do, look up how to change the metering on your camera using your online manual or google search result (Camera model, metering)
(See picture diagram at bottom).
Homework:
You will make a series of photos based on the topic 'bubbles in daylight'. This will require that you have bubbles (a trip to the drug store might be needed for bubbles), and get a friend (or little kid) to help you. You will create 3 shots:
- Blowing a bubble
- Bubble floating, (person in shot with reaction to bubble-like a kid, or a cool reflection)
- Bubble popping (high shutter-get the pop if you can)
