Due 9/12
Read Chapters 2, 5, and pages 329-332
- Edit photos you made for 9/7 down to 6 strongest images (three per subject). Look for the images that you feel the most confident about. If in doubt, go for it anyway!
- Optimize / correct 6 these images, using best workflow practices as covered in class. Save the layered photoshop files for later use. Use image processor to make jpeg copies of the photoshop files (1500 pixels, quality 12).
- Upload these 6 images to the class flickr group by Friday, 9/9, end of day.
- Make insightful comments on a total of three images (choose one image by three different people). Let's make sure everyone has comments on their images—so please reserve one of your choices for ensuring fair coverage.
Guidelines for commenting:
- Refer to chapter 2 and pages 329-332
- Insightful commenting goes far beyond quick statements such as "I like it" or "I like the colors". Be very specific. Pages 329-332 offer a useful guideline for building your comments. Your comments should amount to multiple paragraphs. It might be useful to write them in a word processor and copy them over to flicker. Formatting in flickr is messy... add carriage returns as necessary.
- Absorb the images closely and describe them precisely—use principles of design and vision as described in chapter 2 that seem to apply to a particular image
- Evaluate the techniques used—what camera decisions did the photographer make?
- Personal reaction. Here is where "I like/don't like it," comes in, but you must elaborate! How? Why? What? Back it up with specifics.
- Interpretation. What does it mean? What is the photographer's point?
- Has the work taught you something?
- What do you suggest for improving the image or encouraging the photographer to continue in a similar (or different) vein?
- End comment with your name. It can be hard to decipher flickr user names. For example:
