I hope that your weekend has been fantastic!
This week, we took a shooting field trip to Grand Central Station. It was a tricky shooting environment, since it was such a dark and gloomy day outside, but you guys were up for it and made some great photographs.
Here are some fun facts about Grand Central Station: 100 Years, 100 Facts.
We did a "photo scavenger hunt" with different shooting situations. If you missed class this week, the worksheet is on the class Dropbox. The photos you shot don't have to be from Grand Central, so if you weren't in class or if you would like to improve your photos, feel free to post anything, just so long as it fulfills the requirements.
I'd love it if you posted each item from the worksheet, but you are only required to post 5, 6, and 8 (portrait of a stranger, candid photo of a stranger, 1 subject shot at 3 different exposures). Be sure to include what the camera settings were for your shot (ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture) and which item from the scavenger list you were shooting.
If after this week, you are still feeling uncertain about manual exposure, please let me know so we can sort it out--I want to make sure that you leave this class confidently shooting in Manual Mode.
Next week will be an Introduction to Photoshop in preparation for our first critique the following class after. Be sure to bring the following to class in addition to your camera: everything you've shot so far, a card reader and a portable hard drive. We will also be meeting individually to discuss your class projects.
That's it for now. As always, please email me with any questions or concerns!
BONUS: Any guess as to why/how the light looks so striking in the above photograph of Grand Central Terminal? Leave your guesses in the comments!
There are now buildings that were built that block the light from coming in through the windows! During the time the photo was taken, there was nothing to block the light from coming in through the windows.
