1 pt. Look at your partner’s work to date for the midterm. Select what you think are their 4 best photos. Download small versions of those photos and create a post on Openlab that includes those four photos with at least two sentences describing each one and what makes it a good photo. You must use two of these terms to describe each photo: rule of thirds, diagonal lines, leading lines, pattern, symmetry, figure to ground, contrast of light and dark, a frame within a frame, depth of field, angle of view.

Make global adjustments on each of the three examples:
Rename the file with your name and a number and send them to me rmichals@citytech.cuny.edu
Select one photo from the four selected by your group from your midterm project that you think will benefit most from adjustment in Lightroom. Using the Lightroom Workflow detailed on today’s class topics page, adjust your photo.
Make a post and include the before and after versions with a screen shot of the Lightroom settings you used and a short description of how you improved your photo.

Our first visit to the BBG was on the last day of summer. Now, it is three weeks into fall. The assignment is to capture seasonal change. Post a minimum of 30 photos to an album on Flickr and send your best two the class group.
If there is direct sunlight, shoot at least 10 photos in which the shadows are the main subject. Use exposure compensation to make the shadows as dark as they appear to your eye.
In some of the other photos, use shallow depth of field to isolate the subject from the background. Use a fast shutter speed to capture moving water in one of the garden’s fountains.
Use at least one of the following compositional principles in each photo: a frame within a frame, the rule of thirds, diagonals, leading lines, patterns, symmetry, and always think about the figure to ground relationships.
In other words, use everything we have discussed in class to make your photos as visually engaging as possible.
