1. Emotions-using a single doll or stuffed animal, create a series of 8 final photos that illustrate the following emotions: joy, excitement, surprise, sadness, anger, disgust, contempt, fear.
2. Portrait of a place-Select a park or playground near you. Photograph there at different times of day to capture the place and the people who use it in a series of 8 final photos.

Deliverables for both projects:

1. 40 photos in an album labeled Shoot 1 on Flickr due Oct 13th at 6 pm:

Emotions-10 versions of the first 4 emotions: joy, excitement, surprise, sadness

Portrait of a Place-Shoot in your location at 2 different times of day and or in different weather. Your shots should cover a wide range of approaches: long shots to close ups, people including at least one portrait (take it in shade), animals and plants. If you have a tripod, make at least some of your photos in the blue hour – 20-30 min after sunset or once it is dark. Each photo should use light and composition in compelling ways.

2. 40 Photos in an album labeled Shoot 2 on Flickr due Oct 20 at 6 pm.

Emotions-10 versions of the second 4 emotions: anger, disgust, contempt, fear and in addition any revisions you deem necessary.

Portrait of a Place – Shoot at your location at different times of day and weather.

3. 8 final photos adjusted in Lightroom in an album labeled Midterm on Flickr due Oct 20th at 6 pm.

4. A brief presentation to the class of your project on Oct 20th.

Working outside in the day, freeze the motion of athletes and bike riders, dancers, jumping dogs. Try at least two different types of subjects ie soccer players and bikers, kids on swings and dancers. Capture the decisive moment. The soccer player when their leg is fully stretched out in a kick, a bike rider doing a wheelie. Don’t be shy. Fill your frame with the action.

Use a fast shutter speed. If using a camera, use predictive focus AI Servo or AF-C . Use back button focus.

If using a cameraphone, use lightroom or other app that lets you set the shutter speed.

Post 20 shots of two different activities to an album on Flickr for a total of 40 shots. Please don’t include all of the times you missed: shots out of focus, the back of receding bike riders, etc. Just your best work.

Due October 6, 6pm.
