Due Nov 9. 4 pts.

Working outside on a sunny day, photograph subjects and their shadows. Your subjects could be anything: a person, a tree, a dog, a bridge. What counts is the light falling on it.

Think of the sun as your main light and move so that it is a front light, a side light and a back light.

Take 10 photos where the shadow falls away from the camera otherwise known as front light.

Take 10 photos where the shadow falls to the side otherwise known as side light.

Take 10 photographs where the shadow falls towards you otherwise known as back light.

Each photo should be unique.

Post to an album on Flickr and send the best examples of each type of light to the class group.

Due November 2, 2:30 pm. 4 pts. 

Reflection – 1. the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it.

Working outside during the day, photograph reflections to create strong compositions that include a combination of elements that are seen directly and by reflection. Reflections can be found in water, windows, and cars among other surfaces. Do not confuse reflections with shadows. Working outside during the day, take enough photographs to end up with 30 interesting photographs with reflections. No credit will be given for improperly exposed photographs or out of focus photographs. No credit will be given for photos taken inside without sufficient light.  Upload to an album on Flickr. Send your best two to the class group.
