Assignment number 2 – April 16-April 30 2020
Our second topic is How Close Can You Go????
Dust off your macro lens and have fun in and out of the house. You don’t have a macro lens – no problem just go as close as your camera will allow you to get. The ideas here a endless and it doesn’t just have to be flowers.
You can enter a photo for each of the categories – one black and white, one color and one digitally enhanced.
Like field trips we will be doing assignments twice a month instead of one and there will be no voting at this time. Please enter your photos on the website following the sizing and category specifications. If you entered in the assignment #1 please send them to president.opc@gmail.com and I will make sure they are included in the slide show. Let’s have some fun with this since we are asked to stay at home or keep social distancing.
Description: It can be of shiny, rusty, new or old metal. Let your imagination be your guide and you can be as creative as you like as long it is metal. Try to use different photos in
each category. There are three categories and you may place one photo in each category – color, black and white, and digitally enhanced. This final category of digitally enhanced you can adjust with filters, styles or any changes you would like. Photos must be taken May 1 – July 28 Please do not put your signature on your photos in this category
This is your chance to get down and see the life from underneath all of those things we look down at on the ground. Take your photos from the ground up (looking up) to 31cm (12 inches ). This can be alot of fun and challenging all at once.
Remember you can post 3 photos – one color, one black and white and one digitally changed. Photos must be taken in the last three months – June – August
dark vs light large vs small rock vs water
Here is a topic that some of you may never heard of but it can be fun and will make us think a little.
Topic: Juxtaposition
What is it? Two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect. Ideas of this can be
Fat vs skinny –eg: a large tree vs a skinny one
Past and present -eg: an old building next to a new one ,
Old vs new –eg: a film camera vs a flash card.
Big vs small –eg: a child’s hand holding their parents
Dark vs light colors– eg: a dark puppy with some light ones
Nature vs manmade – eg” flowers or trees next to a home or apartment
Circle vs rectangle or angle – a carpet with a pattern
Black vs white – self explanatory
Water vs rocks – Qualicum falls
These are just some ideas but let your imagination go and have fun with this.
Remember you can enter one color, one black and white and one digitally enhanced. Try not to use the same photo for all three categories
This month our assignment is INTENTIONAL MOVEMENT. I know that some of you may have tried it but for those who haven’t – Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) is a technique used to create a form of abstract art. Instead of using a tripod to keep the camera still, move the camera in a panning motion to create motion blur while the camera’s shutter is open.
You can submit 3 photos on the website-
1 color
1 black and white
1 digitally enhanced however you would like
Photos must be taken within the last three months (Sept 1 – Nov 28)
