In the beginning photo classes students are preparing their semester portfolios and working on the light, shadow and reflection assignment. The work that I have been seeing in the darkroom is looking very good. Students are getting to be better printers, are understanding their cameras more, are looking at the nature of light, and are making much more interesting images. We are also studying the history of photography during the 1920's through 1940's. With the wild winter weather we had some students missed the slide presentation. Below is that slideshow. There will be a quiz on the information in this.
Here are some photographs showing the types of lighting situations students are working with.
