PROJECT #15: Golden Hour Portraits (composed in Rule of Thirds) (15+ of one or multiple people)

OUR FORECAST (Apparently, the sun still exists):  

Sunrise & sunset times are HERE. (CLICK HERE).

BLUE HOUR: The hour* before sunrise and after sunset.
GOLDEN HOUR: The hour* after sunrise and before sunset.

*Depending on where you are on Earth, the hour will be longer or shorter than an actual 'hour.'

DIRECTIONS
For next class, bring back FIFTEEN+ images that you make during the magic hour over the next few days.

PARAMETERS:
- 1/2 of the photographs need to be portraits.
- The other 1/2 can be subject of your own choosing.
- In addition, compose your photographs in the rule of thirds.

The rationale and objective for this set of photographs is to have you observe and record the type of light that occurs during the "magic hour." 


Extra credit earned for morning magic hour photographs (for obvious reasons :)

PROJECT #13: PORTRAIT TRIPTYCHS (2+)

DIRECTIONS: Using your 10+ weekend photos, develop & assemble two+ portrait triptychs. Include a white/black border that is even on all four sides of the assembled images. Simple as that.

PROJECT #12 (in class): MULTIPLE EXPOSURE

DIRECTIONS: Using your leaves, silhouettes & direct side-light photos, and others, combine your photos into various multiple exposures. Use adjustment layers, blending mode, etc. to blend the various images in your layers. Erase or cut away parts of photos if needed...The beauty is in the unexpected.

Post 3+ multiple exposure images to your blog.
