ASSIGNMENT:
With many goals in mind, we hand out this
assignment
for NHCC members over the summer. Participants will take photographs
of the following subjects. This is the same "assignment" that people
taking
a Joe McDonald workshop get to do before they go
there. This fall there will be a review of the slides at Jane Sibley's
house.
The photos must be taken between now and the review
night. Everyone is encouraged to participate.
In addition, the following people who sign up for
the
assignment and subsequent review night will receive a free roll of
Sensia
slide film. The free film is being offered to encourage newer members,
snapshot
only members, print only members and class "B"
members to try out some slide film.
The Photo subjects are:
1. An American Flag. You may include the pole, building, etc. or it may
just
be a closeup of the flag itself. Use your imagination
for the most dynamic shot you can think of.
2. Some part of a car. A closeup. This could be a license plate, grill,
hood
ornament, etc.
3. A portrait of a human. This could be a candid or a formal shot,
taken
in natural light, with flash or any combination.
4. Grass, leaves, or both, but something that you would find in a
typical
lawn
5. A portrait of a flower
6. Depth of field. Something that clearly shows depth and your ability
to
convey depth of field
7. Selective focus -- what's that? Try and frame or surround your
subject
with something that is out of focus, while your subject
is sharply in focus. Example, a flower framed by a circle of out of
focus
leaves or bushes
8. Implied motion -- giving the impression of speed or movement. For
example,
a kid riding a tricycle down a hill, a bicyclist, a
cat speeding past -- taken at slow motion and panned.
9. A human hand -- make it interesting!
10. A building. Make it interesting, not a standard snapshot.
