My bad for being tardy! This week since it's a little warmer out, especially today and tomorrow, I'd like to get everyone outside for a little bit. I would like you to look for and create the following 3 images.
Task #1) Silhouette. Find anything backlit, and photograph it so that the subject is pitch black. Fence, people, buildings - whatever floats your boat. (Hint: anything shot against the snow during daylight will give you a GREAT silhouette - set your camera on Tv mode and increase or decrease the shutter speed until you get the right effect!)
Task #2) Architecture. Pretend you are selling some building or other and photograph it in the most flattering way you can. Your building could be your house, the mall, something downtown, or even your kids' play houses... Pay attention to lines and cropping, and try to include some interesting foreground!
Task #4 if it's warm enough outside) Shoot a landscape near your home. You could shoot the city's skyline, the local park, the mall parking lot - whatever floats your boat!
Task #3 if it's cold outside) Miniature Landscape. Set up a 'landscape' on floor or table. It can be urban-looking with tall buildings made from cracker boxes and wine glasses, or you could try for a snowy scene using a white shirt and twist-tie people. Make contrcution paper cut outs or big up the kids' train-set. Have fun! Just remember to get level with your landscape so you can shoot with the horizon.
