Assignment #1 - Numbers

Assignment number one. Kick some tail.

Here are the requirements:

You will make 100 images. No more...no less.
You will make your first frame contain the number zero (0).
Your second frame will contain the number one (1).
Your third frame will contain the number two (2).
Can you guess what your fourth frame will contain? Yep, a number three (3).

Rinse and repeat.

You will end up with 100 images, starting with number 0, ending with 99.

THESE MUST BE SHOT SEQUENTIALLY...NO CHEATING!

Remember, no deleting, no re-shooting numbers, if you make a mistake on the exposure, go on to your next number. Fix your exposure for the next number before shooting (duh).

I want you to start setting your white balance correctly in the camera. You have not been taught this yet but we will go over it in class. Also this assignment must...repeat...MUST be shot on Manual (M). We will have several lectures about exposure to teach you just what and how your camera is doing what it needs to do.

DO NOT TAKE THIS ASSIGNMENT LITERALLY. Be creative in how you represent the numbers you will shoot. Bonus points if you photograph them in braille. Extra bonus points if you can photograph 99 Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) for the final exposure. DO NOT drive you all over town. DO NOT go walking up and down the street looking for addresses that work. You can shoot this assignment within the comfort of your own home. There are easily 100 sequential numbers in your house.

Please post your favorite 5 images to the blog by the beginning of class on Tuesday...

Due on your blog on Tuesday, May 20th.

Quote for the day:

"Photoshop is a crutch for those who are too lazy to get it right in the camera."
I said this, it is my quote. If you quote me, attribute me. If you don't quote me I will be sad.

Good luck!
