COMD 1340 | Section OL62 | Spring 2021
Time and Movement
Every photograph is a record of time. However short or long, there is a duration of time represented in every exposure.
The goal for this week’s assignment is to make pictures with an awareness of the passing time. Experiment with very fast shutter speeds to freeze a slice of time. Try long exposures with blurred movement to show time passing.
Shoot 40-50 images, upload them to Flickr, then share your best 4-5 with our group.
Required Tools: A camera, Lightroom
Location: Near a light source
Duration: 20-25 minutes
Premise:
We now want to begin taking control of our camera settings by switching to manual functions. Using the Lightroom Mobile App, we will explore a couple of the ways that we can manage our exposure settings.
Objective:
Take a series of photographs in which you manipulate the image by using manual settings in Lightroom’s Professional shooting mode.
Compose a shot with very bright areas and very dark areas. Tap your screen in different places to alter the exposure, and shoot all of the different possible exposures.
Use Shutter Speed settings (‘Sec’) to record blurred motion or frozen motion. If a family member or pet is nearby snap pictures with fast and slow shutter speeds as they move in front of the camera. If you are on your own try to move the camera to create interesting scenes of the world in motion.
Submission:
You should shoot at least 20-30 images and upload them to Flickr. Share your best 2 or 3 with our Group. Create a new post in our OpenLab course with your best image.
Check your camera for batteries and a memory card before heading out. I got all the way to the city, only to find I left my memory card in my laptop. Always carry spares.

New Visions
The goal for this assignment is to compose new and exciting pictures of the world by positioning yourself and your camera in different or interesting places. Use diagonal lines to lead us through your compositions. Work with the edges of the frame to keep our eyes moving. Transform the ordinary into something fascinating.
Once again, shoot and upload 40-50 images, then share your best 4-5 with the group.
