Chao Cac Ban!

How did your photo shoots go this week? What did you figure out? What do you wonder about?

This week I want you to focus on all the composition techniques we have learned when taking your photos. Just be creative and notice things in new ways.

We will be learning a few editing techniques today. Just a few basics to start with to help clean up photos and make them even better!

• Crop
• Straighten
• Red Eye
• Brightness/Contrast ; Fill Light
• Color
• Effects
• Save vs. Save As

Now let's get to the uploading and editing of our photos!

You should have at least 7 more photos to upload (one for each day). Be sure you have at least 2 photos demonstrating good use of natural light, at least 1 photo using flash that doesn't result in red eyes or whiting out the photo, and 1 portrait using natural side lighting.

Okay, get to it!

1. Import the photos to your computer - Save them in your folder on the server
2. Pick one photo from each day in the past week 
3. Upload those photos to your blog
4. Put the photos in chronological order and date them
5. Add at least three sentences for each photo - try explaining why this photo was the one you chose for the day
6. Publish your post and email me the link to your blog

If you don't finish in class please be sure to do it at home and email the link to me no later than tomorrow.

Get out there and get creative!
