Task fifteen: Learning Outcome: Context


Task fourteen: Camera: edge of the frame and cropping

Cropping allows you to change the meaning of a photo, think about the differences in this photo above ∆∆∆.

Dovima with Elephants, by Richard Avedon, 1995.

Think about what is on the edge of your frame, what is touching the frame? What is cropped? And where?

Task Thirteen: Learning Outcome: Evaluation

Remember to make your own bumper sticker, reminding yourself of an important thing about the evaluation process.

At this point in time your evaluation needs to talk about what you see in your photographs and others work. Photographic techniques that you can talk about include; WB, ISO, shutter (blur and frozen movement), DOF, aperture, vantage, composition, framing, line, texture, fore, mid and background.

Field trip: Fo Guang Shan North


It was a real treat visiting the temple in Botany today

Task twelve: camera: composition

Composition is consideration for how all the elements in the photo relate to one another.
Your task is to take a photograph that uses the rule of thirds.

The basic principle behind the rule of thirds is to imagine breaking an image down into thirds (both horizontally and vertically) so that you have 9 EQUAL parts.
If you place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your photo, you are applying correctly. Please refer to the image below.

Task eleven: Learning Outcome: Practice

What is the difference between a skill and a technique? 
Skill: someone can show you a basic skill, like how to jump rope.
Technique: is when you spend time practising and developing your skill, eventually becoming professional.
(Application is evidence of you using skills that we have learnt in class.)



Write a haiku that helps you remember what application is.
A haiki has 5 syllables in the first line then 7 and then 5 for the last line.
Look at the example below for help.
