In this photo assignment, your task is to play with light. You do not need to take any specific shots but rather 5 shots that showcase some experimentation with light photography. I am including a few links to articles and videos for you to read. As well, I will post the basic manual settings to work with light photography.
Settings: In manual mode
ISO: 100 or the lowest you can get
Exposure between 13-30 sec.

Macros shots: Shots should be in focus, of interesting subject matter, background blurred, have a focal point, be taken of an object close-up. Post to Flickr (10 shots=20 marks)
Water shots: shots are clear and interesting, make sure you are following the rules of composition.These shots can be anything water...puddles, drips, drops, bodies of water etc. Post to Flickr (3 shots= 10 marks)
Duplicity: Four shots are taken in the same environment using a tripod. You are then to edit all four shots into one photo using Photoshop. Post to Flickr ( 1 shot = 20 marks)
Light Photography Experimental: You are to take 5 shots using light as a focal point. This might include bokeh, light trails, or long exposure night sky shots. We will go over how to shoot long exposure shots and I will post up the camera settings for this assignment. Post to Flickr (5 shots=20 marks)
Final Slideshow: You will be creating a slideshow set to music. I have reduced down the number of photos required in the slideshow to 40. The shots should be your absolute best work and should reflect a combination of photographs. What not to do...take 40 flower shots or 40 portraits or 40 skate park shots....mix it up and show me variety. ( 50 marks) DUE on JUMP DRIVE WED JUNE 10
