Advanced Students Assignment #14

Blog about the gallery night. Tell your readers how many of your photos will be showing and give them the address, time and date. Talk about the Silent Auction and how we are going to donate the proceeds to the American Cancer Society. If you have a personal experience with Cancer...tell it. Tell why this cause is important to you.

Invite people to become fans of The Summit High School Giving Gallery facebook page. (you may have to do that at home)

Make a folder of all your best photos from the year for me to make into the slideshow that will play at gallery night. I need a folder from each of you with the photos you are showing as well as at least 5 others. All cropped, toned, and saved named yournamegallery1.jpg, yournamegallery2.jpg, etc.

Beginning Students Assignment #12

Post your retouching project before Friday morning March 26 at 7 am. I will be grading your projects from your blog for the progress reports on Friday.

I want to see both the before and the after. If you post the map I will give you extra credit.

Write about what you learned from the project. Can you make changes in photoshop that look real? It is easier to make the changes in photoshop or is it easer to take the photo correctly in the first place? What about the background was it easy or hard to change the color. Describe your experience.

Advanced Students Assignment #13

This week you are working on your photos for the gallery night so I want you to do two things.

1. Create a slideshow of your best work from the year so far using the website slide and post it on your blog. You will have to copy the embed code and paste it into the HTML portion of your post box. If you need help just ask.
2. Use this slideshow to invire your readers to come see your work at the gallery night at Marty Seybold Gallery on April 21st. Don't tell your readers exactly which photos you plan to show but give them a taste of your photography style to entice them to come to the show and bid on you photos to hang in their home or office. Remeber we will donate the proceeds to charity to maybe ask people what charity they would like to see the money go to.

Beginning Students Assignment #11

Photojournalism is about telling stories. I would like for you to post a self portrait telling me that you are a photographer. Tell your story.

Be sure you are checking your dashborad for comments andpublishing them. Don;t forget to comment on other peoples photos as well.

I'm noticing a lot of you are way behind on your posts. This blog is a grade and if you don;t get finished at school it is homework. I'll be grading them again later this week so this is your chance to get all the past postes published before I grade at the end of the week :)
