Journal #4 and other Important Class Info

Everyone MUST READ THIS!!
First and foremost be sure that you have read the previous post before you begin new work. Some important changes have been made to it in the past 24 hours. I am currently doing my civic duty serving on a Jury and as much as I miss my awesome photography class I will be away for the next little while. Please email me questions if you need help with anything at larissa.turcotte@dsbn.org . I have a break three times a day so I may be able to respond during the class. Don't get stuck on little details, be proactive and find out what needs to be done.

Grade 12's Photograms and Journal 4
Continue to work on your Photogram Assignment. Hannah and Nesta you will need to mix a new batch of developer using the one part developer to nine parts water ratio. Please develop one small piece of "virgin" paper to ensure that the mixture is correct and that the stack of paper has not been  exposed to light. I am concerned about this because you first attempts came out totally black. Your test strip should be white if everything is functioning properly.  You now have until Thursday to submit this.
Hannah and Taylor be sure that you are prepared for Photographing the Mayor's Breakfast Wednesday morning. A minimum of five refined pictures from this event will be your Journal 4. Save all of the photos you take on your M Drive, they will be used by the event coordinators. Nesta be prepared to write the Unit One test tomorrow morning. Your Journal 4 and 5 will be connected to your vacation. Please email me directly for further instructions.

Journal 4: The Eye of the Camera/ Aperture Control
Last week we focused on shutter speed controls, this week we are going to focus on aperture control.
The aperture setting controls:
1. The amount of light that enters the camera

2.  AND the "Depth of Field" Depth of field or D.O.F. is how much of the picture is in focus. For example:



The next few lessons will deal with how to control aperture correctly and when and why this is done.
Journal #4 is to take three photos over the holiday long weekend. One with a small D.O.F. f2.8 (Depth of field), one with medium D.O.F. f5.6 and one with a large D.O.F. f16. Journals will be graded for technical aspects like correct exposure and creative subject matter. Each photo should be of a different subject.
