Assignment 1: Warm Up

 © 2019 Christopher Jordan

Workday: Tuesday 1/18 Due: Thursday, 1/20.

Assignment: Begin with your favorite 3-5 subjects, shooting as many pictures as possible of each. Try to be as purposeful as you can... often, making a picture about one main thing is better than trying to put too much in the frame

Start where you are: use your present knowledge about making pictures to the best of your ability. No worries, we need to start somewhere!

Bring files to class to work on in photoshop via card, hard drive or cloud

Ground rules:

• For now, no pets (sorry!)
• Shoot in natural light/outside
• Camera phones are okay for now
• Brace the camera carefully using proper stance
• Keep camera steady
• Focus the camera carefully, or use auto focus
• Set camera settings to those you are familiar with. The settings you know that work for you, now.
• Image Quality:  Jpeg (high quality) or RAW
• If you know how, change the ISO ass appropriate or set to auto
• Shoot auto, aperture priority, shutter priority, or manual, as you are comfortable
