One Shot - Sure shot

One day photo assignment.

Today, we will be hosting students from local feeder schools.

In groups of 4-5, you will complete this photography scavenger hunt.

We will showcase the pictures at the end of the period through a quick critique. This lesson was adapted from Phyllis Burstein's One Shot-Sure Shot blog.

Challenge:
In groups of 4 or 5, students take photos emphasizing point of view, proportion, and scale.

Materials: digital camera for each group of 4/5 students, handout with prompts for photos 

Process:
• Students assemble in groups of 4/5.
• They take photos based on the following prompts:
--Make the tallest person in the group look small.
-- Make the shortest person in the group look tall. 
-- Photograph something close-up and then again far away so that each photo looks like it is a different object/place.
-- Can you trick us? Take a photo that plays with our sense of space so that we are confused about point-of-view, proportion, and scale.

MULTIPLE EXPOSURE WITH FLASH AND SLOW SHUTTER SPEED

In a dark room or outside at night, set your camera to 30 seconds at F 8 or 11 (adjust as necessary to get the perfect exposure)and 200 ISO. Make sure to be on Manual metering and MF for manual focus. Focus before the lights go off. During the long exposure, have your subject move slightly and manually set off the external flash (at M mode, not ETTL) each time they move and you will capture them several times during the long exposure. You should post your best 1-3 images from the multiple exposure shoot.
