October 10th

Hello and welcome!

Today we will be writing out first test (yay). If you are reading this before the test, best of luck! If you are reading this after, congratulations on finishing.


AFTER THE TEST

Part A

After the test, please complete the following:

Use Iphoto to enhance the following photos. Edit each photo, 3 different ways. Do each photo:

1. In a "normal" but enhanced way. I.e. sharpness, contrast, enhanced colours, etc.

2. An "effect" that you think looks interesting (sepia, b & w, faded colour, tints, etc.)

3. Crop the photo to create a more successful composition (doesn't have to be rule of thirds but it might help).

After you are finished, upload the photos to your blog and title the post "photo editing". 








Now choose 1 of your own photos to edit in an interesting way and post it on your blog with an explanation of what you changed. Explain how you made the photo more successful with the new edit (think elements of design, composition, etc.) 

Part B

After you have finished part A, please upload your elements of design photos onto FlickR (you can include any other photos you've taken outside of school or within school if it was for a different project). If you still haven't provided your FlickR username within the group Google Doc, do so. Take the time to check out the art that your classmates are creating!

Once you have finished,  go to www.nationalgeographic.com and find their "photo of the day" site. Look through the archive of photos of the day (gallery). On your blog, list three photos that you thought were particularly interesting/successful. Please include the title of the photograph, the name of the photographer, and what the date was when it was title "photo of the day".  Please explain in depth (1 paragraph each), why you thought the photo was successful. Try to use the language from class, i.e. elements of design, exposure, DOF, composition, etc.
