After viewing the videos above, answer the following questions using complete sentences.

According to the first video, what is the best setting on the camera to use when making light paintings? Do you need a tripod for making light paintings? Why or why not? What kinds of ideas do you have for your own light paintings?

According to the 2nd video what is shutter speed? What is aperture? and what is ISO? What happens if your ISO is too high?

Our next photo challenge is Slow Shutter Speed. Take 2 photos between now and the due date (FRIDAY) that demonstrate your understanding of Slow Shutter Speed . Remember Shutter Speed is the Tv (Time Value) setting. 4″ = 4 seconds.

Remember you will need a tripod.

Technique Choices:

Panning
Ghosting
Light Painting (must create a shape- not just squiggle lines)
Light Trails
Star Trails
Silky Smooth Water
You will be graded on:
Relevance (does the focal point connect with it’s surroundings? Does it seem purposeful?)
The correct areas of your image are in focus/ Visibility.

Something must be stationary and in focus in your image. THE IMAGE MUST CONTAIN MORE THAN THE EFFECT.
Camera & editing techniques
Employability Skills
Effort & outside the box thinking

Practice Photo is due on Wednesday, 10/12

Final Photo is due on Monday, 10/17
