Beginning Photography (Photo 1)


Anthotype

This first project demonstrates how light effects light sensitive material. An Anthotype sunprint is an image created using photosensitive material from plants. We will use natural light to expose our anthotype sunprint.  
Photograms / MAgazine PRints
n this project, students will learn how an image can be affected by placing an object on top of the paper during the paper's exposure to light. In a plain sense, the students are creating silhouettes of objects. One variation is allowed in this project: the use of transparent or partially transparent objects. If an object is at least partially transparent, light is allowed to pass through it and onto the light sensitive paper. Magazine prints are much like photograms in one respect, you lay an object on top of photographic paper and expose the paper. The change is that the material is now a double sided magazine image. This is much like a double exposure photograph because two images appear on one piece of paper. The images are also negative images. Some of these images tend to look eerie because they are negative double images.


Pinhole Camera Photos
A pinhole camera is simply a dark box with a tiny hole at one end and photographic paper on the other end. There is no lens to focus the light. Instead, the pinhole projects a dim upside-down image on the paper. The image below is an example of a pinhole camera, again, this is just a box with a tiny "pin-hole" at one end. These cameras must be reloaded after each exposure because they can only hold one piece of paper at a time.

Digital Pinhole

Macro and SDOF Photo Shoot 1
In the first digital photo shoot, students focus on two different techniques: Macro photography, and Small Depth of Field Photography.  Students will use digital SLR cameras to complete these assignments and edit them in Adobe Photoshop.
LDOF / Simplicity / Rule of Thirds / Repetition Photo Shoot 2
Students are allowed to take photos from home for this assignment.  They may choose to check out a camera from class if needed.  Assignments include: Large Depth of Field, Simplicity, Rule of Thirds, Repetition and a "choice" photograph.

 Abstract / Non-Objective Paint Photo shoot 3
Students learn about non-objective photography by taking digital photographs of paint. They are to accomplish several assignments during this photo shoot: an abstarct photo, standard images and images for a triptych.  The focus is on color schemes, textures and pattern.
Triptych
Photos are taken at the same time as the "paint" photos.  A triptych is a group of three photos that are show together and have a common thread that ties them together.  This may be similar color schemes, different angles, time progressions or many others.

Standard Panorama

Standard panoramas attempt to show a large expanse of area in one photo with the least amount of distortion in the image. 
Light Painting
Students create light paintings by opening their shutter for long periods of time in a dark room. During the time the shutter is open, the camera records any light that passes throught the frame.  Lights are used to "paint" in the area of the photograph.

Double Exposure

Spot Coloring
Students learn how to use Photoshop to leave color in only one area of a photograph. This project teaches students another way to create emphasis in their photography. Spot coloring is done often, but rarely done well by photographers. Students learn how to use the process as well as when the process is appropriate.
Sports / action photography
This assignment is focused on the subject of movement.  Controlling the way that movement is shown in the photograph is done by changing the shutter speed of the camera.  This assignment has two major goals: to completely freeze motion in one photo, and blur motion intentionally while keeping the rest of the photo sharply focused.
