Photographers, from left to right, top to bottom: Paloma Pryor, Blair Milord, Sasha Tourkova, Charles Izzo

Post your corrected versions of all four to Flickr.

Select your favorite of your partner’s photos that could look better with some adjustment. Tone it in Lightroom. Your partner will also adjust the same photo. Compare your results.

Now, reverse it. Your partner picks their favorite of your photos. And you both adjust it.

Post the results to the class group in Flickr.

Street photography is candid (unposed) photography of everyday people in public places.

Take pictures during the field trip of the places we visit and the people we see. Include people in all of your shots, whether very close or very far. Use everything we have discussed in class so far: composition, angle of view, and use the light as much as possible. We will take the subway, walk through the oculus, across the 9/11 memorial to Brookfield Place. The light will change as we move through different spaces. think about how to use it to your advantage.

Put your 30 best photos in an album on Flickr and send your best two to the group.

Photograph flowers with continuous lights.

Continuous lights are always on. Strobe lights fire when you make the exposure.

Floodlight– Light is diffused and wraps around the subject hitting it from many angles. Shadows are soft.

Spotlight – Light is direct and hits the subject from one angle. Shadows are hard.

In-class Flower Shoot Camera Settings:

• Resolution=RAW
• ISO=800
• WB=Auto
• Shooting Mode=Tv
• Shutter speed = 1/125
• The camera sets the aperture

Every shot has a flower in it as the main subject. The ugly vase should not be seen in any photos. Fill the frame with the flower.
