3.1 – 3.4 Your Photos

This is where you take your own photos and display them on your wordpress page.  All photo assignments involve 3 – 4 photos of the suggested subjects displayed in a “gallery” format for each assignment.

Also, remember what you’ve learned about image sizes. Don’t turn in 10 mb photos.  Make sure they are optimized at around 100k to 500k and level-adjusted for best quality.

Also remember, grading is cumulative. If you get a grade of 20/25, for example, it just means that you have that many points, and not that you have a grade of 80%.

Photo Gallery 3.1 — Take several portraits of a person or pet using good composition and lighting techniques.   This should be up close and reveal something about the person’s emotions and nature. See this tutorial for basics.  Optimize for the web.  Upload it to your portfolio site.

3.2  — Take  photos of a sports or news event. Empty shelves in the supermarket? That’s news too.  

3.3  –  Outdoors  — Get out in the landscape and take shots of nature and  (if possible) people enjoying it.    

3.4 — Open assignment
