Tuesday/ Wednesday May 3/ 4 Analyzing photos

Reminder: photo projects are due next Wednesday, May 11. The graphic organizer that you need to follow is on the blog from Thursday, April 28.  You will earn a writing grade from the graphic organizer component and a class presentation grade from your sharing with the class. 

ASSIGNMENT: Photo writing assignment...due by midnight on Wednesday. Please send along.  
You will find 15 images below where you will demonstrate your understanding of photo composition and techniques. In a word document, write a short paragraph for 10 images. Begin with a description of what you see in terms of people, place, time of day. (factual, measurable, objective information)  Be very descriptive. Taking your time with this will help you visualize your own photos. Next analyze the photo as to why it works. Note depth of field (what is in focus), use of a fast or slow shutter, fill in flash, shadows, focal points and how movement is captured on a flat plane.  Remember the essential elements of all compositions: pattern, symmetry, texture, depth of field and lines in terms of rule of thirds or horizon. This is writing assignment, so take your time; correct writing conventions are expected. You do not need to write about all aspects of the photo, but should write to at least two points in each image.
CHOOSE 10 of the photos only. 
each response, should be a minimum of 50 words.
