More on Photography

Moron Photography Today there is a photo assignment - prepping for the collection (slideshow) collage, etc We are taking photos of specific “things” Dynamic Line (diagonals, active lines) Character (mood, atmosphere, a strong sense of person) Emotion - again, not always on a face Balance in Composition - the objects are in perfect order or harmony to convey balance Action - not necessarily meaning somebody moving Colour - where the use of it is obvious or notable Lighting - where the use of it is obvious or notable Multiple subjects - story or some relationship Unusual angle - a shot that is clearly not eye level The Best Shot - what is it about this one?

iPhoto - I think we can do it this time! - start manipulating some of the photos you took yesterday

Elements of a photo - finish note from yesterday

Examine some of the The Best Photos of All Time and consider what elements and attributes put these on the list

You can find some of them at THIS website.

ASSIGNMENT! - you need to find ONE photo that speaks to you like the “Last Jew” spoke to me when I was a kid -

Write up a little something on it. Why is it a good shot? What elements does it have to make it work? What elements can you TAKE from it and use in your own shots?

Take that shot. Take a shot that in some ways (not necessarily obvious ways) echoes some of the qualities of that great shot you like.

We are building up to you creating a series of connected photos that have a thematic link.

Enjoy this awesome link about where ideas come from!
