I have Jury Duty this week so I would like you all to continue to finish up Journal 3 and work on editing your final Shutter Speed assignment in Photoshop. See the teacher for a key to the supply closet if you need to take photos off of the memory cards in the school cameras. Let's keep it simple for now, using the same techniques you learned last week.

• Crop your picture if there is extra/distracting background
• Adjust Lighting under the Enhance Menu (We are looking for sharp contrast)
• Adjust Colour Setting under the "enhance menu" to bring up Colour Saturation if needed.
• Submit final product on your blog under a new post titled "Shutter Speed Assignment" and include important info like shutter speed and lighting conditions.

I would like to display some of the best examples from this assignment on the TV in Front Row, so if you are finished everything you can begin to work on a Title Page for yourself.

In Photoshop open a new file that is 10 inches wide and 8 inches tall and 600 dpi.
Under the select menu select all.
Use the paint bucket to fill the entire background black.
Write your name, the title of your work and (your grade) Photography.

Here are some of my light painting experiments from this weekend:
