November News in Beginning Photography

The beginning photography students just finished shooting and printing their first rolls of film. Some really great images were made. Students learned how to work with filters to raise or lower contrast in a print. In the self evaluations, most students were feeling like they are understanding how to meter and how to make a good print. We are now going to start going more in depth with creative controls. First we will be exploring motion and working with shutter speed. Here is a slideshow showing examples of what you should be trying to do.

Advanced Photo News

The advanced photo students are working on their quarter portfolio pieces. Students are learning how to window mat, how to work with fiberbase paper, and how to fine tune their digital pieces. The diptychs turned out very well overall. Some students are going to continue working in this way. I will try to get student work photographed so we can upload the images to the blog.
