Thurs. Feb. 26

I am away today, please respect all of the rules and guidelines we have discussed when out of class taking photos and using cameras. Today is the last day to borrow any of the cards from Ms Chase unless you forget to bring your card every once and a while.

Please continue work on the following assignments in the order that they are listed.

• finish up shooting assignment 1,2, and 3, and edit any of these photos in Pixlr, Pic Monkey or Photoshop for cropping and lighting. When finished upload to Flickr and organize into albums
• make sure you have a buddy icon (pic of yourself) on Flickr, and you have made Ms Chase a contact, You need to make sure all of your photos remain open for public viewing so I can see and mark them
• Spend some time on the editors playing around with photos so you can see how the different editing elements work. It is important to know how to use all three editors since some work better for different kinds of editing

NEW ASSIGNMENT: shooting colour 3 red shots. In this assignment, your focus in the shot is red. You should use a predominant red colour and make it your focal point. (Stay out of the red paint in the art room for today) but other items might work like pencil crayons, crayons, people's shirts, lipstick, an apple, a hat, stop sign…sometimes when you look, you might find red in the most uncommon places. You are focusing on colour in this assignment, but do not forget the other elements of composition when taking photos. Remember our goal is to get clear, in focus shots. ( 10 marks)

Check out the camera simulation on the Advanced Photo site if you have time.
