Assignments and Information
 for March 5-11, 2001

We looked at the video PHOTOGRAPHER'S EYE.  I will return this to the Portage Library on Wednesday. If you missed class (or want to see it again) I recommend you check it out and look at it. It is a fascinating and at times humorous look at two very different photographic styles and philosophies.

We did a slide review of photographic filters.

We also looked at how to do "slide sandwiches."  More on this later.

Pick out your best one or two photos of Janae and Kea from our class portrait shoot and have 5x7 prints made so I can give them to our models. Bring some of the proofs from our model shoot that you would like to discuss in terms of what went right and wrong.

Next week we will do architectural photography or landscape photography. We will do "ghost" photography in class next week.  Bring your camera gear and wear medium to dark toned clothing.

FIELD TRIP MARCH 10

We have a field trip planned for this Saturday evening at 6:15 PM at Sugarloaf Lake, weather permitting. Our plan is to do sunset shots reflected in the water.  Ater that, we can do double exposures to add the moon to a twilight scene.  After that, if it isn't too cold and windy, we will try doing a moonlit waterscape.

To do the sunset we need a combination of clear sky and clouds plus the sun. After that we need to be able to see the moon.  If mother nature cooperates, we will have a good time.

Drive south on Westnedge and then take Shaver Road when it angles off to the southwest. Drive south and on out of Portage until you get to the lake.  We will be parked between the lake and the road where the lake is close to Shaver Road.  Do not take the road to the boat access ramp.
