B&W Student Choice

Your next project will be your choice of subject matter, black and white. Take the photos in color---We will change them to black and white with PhotoShop. We will study a few black and white images this week to get you prepared. You might also look up the work of Ansel Adams to see examples of outstanding B&W work. The most important thing to consider when taking these photos is to choose interesting or unique subjects in HIGH CONTRAST. Bright light will be helpful. As always, you should take 35-40 shots, the equivalent of a roll of film. You will turn in 12 on a contact sheet for your deadline grade May 12th. This will be a 12-6-1 assignment, with the 6 edited shots and one best 5x7 JPEG due Wednesday, May 14th. Make sure you are going for 'dynamic range'!
