Week 2 Wrap-Up

W. Eugene Smith, Dance of the Flaming Coke, 1955

Hi Everybody,

I hope you are having a great weekend!

Over the next couple of weeks, we will be getting in to a lot more detail about how manual exposure works and how to get the effects that you want when shooting.

In the mean time, on to this week's homework:

1. If you didn't finish last week's homework, make sure you get it posted to the blog this week. Be sure to tag all of your posts with your name.

2. From the photos you shot in class today, post a photo for each of the following compositional techniques:
  • Rule of thirds
  • Leading Lines
  • Landscape Orientation
  • Portrait Orientation
  • Viewpoint
  • Background
  • Framing (if possible)
  • Symmetry and Patterns
  • Get closer!
  • Experiment
Be sure to caption for each photo so we know which technique you are using. Please post these images as a single blog post.

3. Start thinking about your semester series. Please email me a brief description (a sentence or two is fine) of what you are thinking about as a theme for your series. Even if you aren't sure yet, just let me know!

4. Please read the interview with Henri Cartier-Bresson found here: http://www.americansuburbx.com/2012/01/interview-henri-cartier-bresson-famous.html

That's it for now--as always, please be sure to email me if you have any questions or if anything is unclear.
