Assignment 3, Shooting: Create a group of images that explores one of the Design Principles (pages 38-46) or Visual Elements (pages 46-60) from chapter 2. Choose one and stick with it for the whole exercise. Be able to make a strong case that your images support this principle. Keep shooting until it becomes very clear and your images can do the talking/explaining for you.
Photoshop practice (out of class): Perform basic global tone adjustments on at least five images you have shot so far in class. These should be strong images you plan to turn in. Global adjustments should include: proper white balance (for RAW), clipping limits (white/black point), overall brightness and contrast (using best practices...note: avoid "brightness contrast" adjustment layer in Photoshop).
- For RAW images: turn in Photoshop file with smart object that contains your Camera RAW adjustments. For those of you shooting RAW, please include 1 image where all adjustments are made in Photoshop.
- For JPEG images: turn in Photoshop file with appropriate adjustment layers
- Note: You will be doing all your work full resolution. You will be turing in lower resolution copies of these files in class. Make sure you archive the full resolution file for future printing
