OBJECTIVE: Students will understand and demonstrate composition rules of photography
Portrait Project Sheet
Here’s your chance to take some really interesting pictures of people!
Turn In: 7 Photos, one from each of the categories below.
Here’s the Plan:
1: Shoot (2) from really, really close in, as close as your lens will let you focus. Don’t be afraid to cut off heads or crop image as necessary. Remember that we love the eyes to be in perfect focus, unless it is painfully obvious your intent was the nose.
2: Shoot (2) from extreme camera positions; very high, low, or tilted. Be Safe!
3: Shoot 2 shots of a group of people from as close as possible, as squeezed together as you possibly can. Find an interesting way to do this as people standing in the hall or in the quad, well, you can do BETTER! (2 frames) Be safe with this one! Only have people from your household get close together, otherwise, keep that 6 feet distance.
4: Use a flashlight, or the light on your phone. Create drama with motion or just extreme lighting for drama. These are going to be experimental! HAVE SOME FUN!! (2 frames)
5: Selfies!! Shoot two, but please be creative! Consider the background, the angle, the purpose of the shot. Try using shadows, reflections, timers, or others to help you out. No outstretched arms please!
6: Go for the blurriest possible background by opening up your lens and working close.
7: Shoot using the sky for your background.

MONDAY, 5/4/2020
OBJECTIVE: Students will understand and demonstrate composition rules of photography
Pick your favorite composition rule. Take 6 photos that demonstrate that rule of composition. Include F-Numbers and Shutter Speed or take your best guess.
Get creative! What can you find around your house to photograph? What about outside your house? If you are using a chromebook, try to take some pictures with it.
Don’t tell me what your composition rule is, I should be able to tell from your photos. I will add my guess in the comments.
MONDAY, 4/27/2020
OBJECTIVE: Students will understand and demonstrate composition rules of photography.
Watch this quick video about composition.
Take a photo that shows an example of the following composition rules. If you can’t take your own pictures, make sure to cite your sources.
Rule of Thirds
Leading Lines
Framing
Contrast
Simplicity - Fill the Frame
Symmetry
Asymmetry
Which composition rule is your favorite and why?

OBJECTIVE: Students will understand Aperture, Depth of Field and F-Numbers
Watch this Depth of Field and Aperture Video and complete the viewing guide on google classroom

Guess at what you think the aperture (F-Number) and shutter speed should be for each photo.
If you take pictures using your phone or a digital camera, include what the actual aperture and shutter were. (For my phone, Samsung Galaxy S7, if I swipe up on a photo I’ve taken, I can see all of the photo information, including aperture and shutter speed.)
