Macro Photography
Macro photography is the art of photographing small objects like flowers and bugs. Here are some tips for fantastic macro photography.
Start to train your eye to see macro opportunities. You’ll be surprised at the objects you’ll want to capture : Stamps, Paper Clips, Coins, Pins etc. Some of the best subjects are provided by Nature – Flowers, Plants, Bugs and Leaves.
• Try getting in really close to everyday objects such as the wood grain of a table, the veins of leaves, the texture of gravel.
• Use a flash if there isn’t much light – but be careful because at this close range the flash could over expose the subject and image. A ‘Ring Flash’ unit can help. This clips onto the front of the lens and can give a softer effect.
• If your camera has trouble focusing at close range, try moving away a little and use the optical zoom to increase your magnification.
• Use a small white piece of paper to fill any shadows in the image. Shadows can be a problem if you are shooting in bright sunlight, or using an overhead lamp. Any single light source will cause shadows.
• Increase your ISO setting so you can use faster shutter speeds. This will ensure your images will be as sharp and clear as possible. Don’t increase your ISO too far as you’ll get a very ‘noisy’ image.
• Use a tripod as much as possible to eliminate camera shake and to be sure your camera’s focus is right.
New Assignment: Macros
Tulip: Hugh Campbell
Macro
Photography: We do not all have macro lenses however the close up feature on your camera is what we will be using for this assignment. For most cameras it is the flower feature.
Macro Shots: Get up close, really close to objects. You are to take 10 photos. Do not take several of the same object from different angles. You must choose several different objects to shoot.
Criteria: Your main object should be in focus, background can be blurred. Try to get an interesting angle or approach to your object. Please avoid 10 flower photos or 10 leaf photos. I really want you to start seeing things from a different perspective. Objects do look differently when you get really close up.
Macro Photo Article to read
Both grade 9's and 10's will complete this assignment. I want to see new work from the grade 10's, no recycled photos!

Ms Chase is away today
I would like all students to work on this assignment today. Browse Flickr and find three (3) photos that you believe are exceptional photos. Using rules of composition and what you know so far about photography, explain why each photo is exceptional, and why you chose it. You can copy the photo into word, then write up the explanation. If the photographer does not let you copy the photo, please copy down the URL (web address) and describe the photo. When finished, students should continue taking and editing photos. I will be doing some marking at home today, so I will know who is behind. Cameras can be signed out....be very respectful of returning them on time and in good order. And make sure you all return to class 10 min prior to the end of class. Use your time wisely, we are only 3 weeks away from our first report card. Time has a way of slipping away if you are not using it effectively. See an updated list of assignments below.

Intro to Digital Photo 9/10 Fall 2010
Digital Photo is now in its second year at Isfeld. We had a very successful year last year with students exceeding my expectations in the quality of photos that they were able to produce.
Introduction to Digital Photo: Students will be introduced to camera basics, how to compose shots, and the basics of photographic design. Much of the class time will be spent taking photos and working through creative assignments in order to help students become better photographers. Students will also learn the basics of photo editing (cropping, colour balancing, resizing and utilizing some of the many artistic tools in Photoshop CS4). The school has 3 Nikon D40 digital SLR cameras and 5 Fugi waterproof point and shoot camera available for students to use. There is not a camera available for every student in the class, so if students have their own camera, it would be great if they could bring it to class.
This year’s course will not focus heavily on Photoshop but rather will focus on guiding students to use the camera in an artistic way. Next semester there is a more advance photography class offered at the 11/12 level which will focus on more advanced techniques.
Details of Photo 9/10:
Evaluation: The course will be evaluated based on the following:
Assignments: 70%
Portfolio: 20% ( Electronic slideshow)
Studio Skills: 10%
Requirements:
• An SD flash card 2gb or higher ( will act as the student’s notebook for their photography, Please note student will not be allowed access to the school camera unless they have their own card)
• A Flash drive is recommended (2gb or higher)
• Fickr account (free): Students are expected to post all of their assignment photos online
• Having access to a camera on the weekends would be very helpful toward student success in this course

Use your remaining time wisely
Photography students, there is very little time left before the end of the year which means you
need to put some focus into getting your work completed. Next Friday will be the deadline for all term 3
Incompletes. If the work is not completed by then, the grade will be changed to an F. Over the next
couple of days, I am expecting you to work on the following:
1. Written photography assignment (see handout for details, and it must be typed)
2. Photostory slideshow: I do not want to hear " I have it at home, or all my photos are on my
computer at home." Get them on a jump drive and bring them to school so I can see what you
are up to. I expect to see you working on it at school, so I know that you did the work. Make
sure you find appropriate music which is an mp3 file. The program will not accept mp4 format.
3. Save your best photo on the photostorage folder. Make sure if you are pulling from Flickr
you go to all sizes and choose the largest size. You will then bring your photo into Photoshop
and resize ( no larger than 8 x10). Using the text tool put your name onto your photo in the
bottom left or right hand corner. PLease use white or black font. Then go to file save as and
save the file as your name. After you do this, you can copy the photo to photostorage.
4. Do not forget about your lasso/photoshop assignment where you had to take a person and put them into a new background. It should be handed in already.
5. Organize all of your photos on Flickr, so you will be ready to start marking next week.
That's all folks!!

Assignment the week of Feb 22 - Feb 27
Photo by : Peter Sharcott
macro photography (Click on this link to see some great macro shots) This week we will be focusing on macro/close up photography. You need to set your camera to the macro setting which on most cameras is designated by the flower icon. On the Fugi cameras, you need to go in and physically change the setting through menu. There are several things to consider before taking decent closeup shots, the first being you need to start to see the ordinary in a different way. Get up close and start really looking at objects in a new way.Criteria: Your shots should be clear, especially the object you are focusing on. Be aware of backgrounds, for light objects try a dark background and for dark objects try a light background. Don't forget about light, if you can get outside in some natural light your photos have a better chance of turning out better.
