Photography Assignment -

Part A -

1. Learning to take great photographs takes practice. Choose one subject and take at least 25 pictures of the subject (an object, a person, an animal, a building, etc.). If you use a film camera, you can take fewer pictures, but if you use a digital camera, try to take at least 25 pictures and even more if possible for practice. Submit three of your favorite photographs from your practice activity.

2. Take two photographs of the same scene, person, or object using different focal lengths. Include a brief note with your photographs about how the image changed depending on the focal length you chose.

3. Use two different modes on your camera while photographing the same subject. For example, you might take one with a portrait mode and one with an autofocus mode. If your camera only has a manual mode, try taking one out-of-focus picture and one picture that is in focus.

4. The amount and quality of the light will influence your photographs. Take several photos of an object in different lighting conditions. Turn in at least three photographs of the object that show different lighting. For example, you might photograph an object in midday sun, in the shade, indoors, under fluorescent lighting, and at dusk.

Part B -

1. Create at least three "stock images." You may wish to browse a stock site online to see the types of images that are popular. For example, you might take a picture of a person cooking or a picture of a food item.

2. Early photographers took portraits of people. Practice taking portraits of someone. Submit at least two portrait photographs of the person.

3. The ability to create a color photograph was an important point in the history of photography. Practice taking some color photographs. Submit three of your favorite color photographs.
