Welcome back, Photo II!
This semester, you will be picking ONE THEME or "concentration" which you will work on for the rest of the year, building a cohesive portfolio. It is a hard decision to make! I have put together a whole page of resources so you can explore some options.
Open "semester2 concentration ideas.doc" on the Miss E Photo II folder. Go through each step, sifting through all these websites and ideas, until you reach step 6, where you present me 3 ideas you like, and why you think they would be good for you to work on.

I figured out exactly how we will run the 3D project.
First, I want you to try the 2-photo-method on a landscape of our school. This means you take a tripod out, take 1 shot of your landscape, move the camera a little bit, like a couple inches (swivel it to the left) and take a 2nd shot. READ the tutorial (Open my Word doc)

The second part will be using Photoshop techniques on a single photo of an object or person to create 3D depth. Before you start this second part, I want you to practice the steps on one of my Lewis Hine photos. This effect works best in black and white:
You can skip the steps for clone stamping the edges in the second tutorial- it was confusing and I did not feel like it was really beneficial.

Anaglyphs
Make sure you turned in one portrait and one nature photo for the Unity and Variety project. Make sure yours has outlines! See my instructions below for outline examples and tips.
For this week:
Grab a pair of 3D glasses and look at the 2 examples I left on the M:/
Open up the word document in my Photo II folder. Read this document thoroughly and follow the first tutorial link. You will be using the FIRST technique in the first tutorial link. (The second one listed on that page is really complicated, though you're welcome to try it out!)
The FIRST link makes the entire photo 3D. The second link makes one specific part of a photo look 3D. We will do ONE OF EACH. The theme will be
Read all of the instructions before you start anything! It tells you valuable tips, like how far to move the camera if you are taking a close-up versus a far away landscape.

Variety and Unity
You will be creating a self portrait image like the one on the M:/. You will do one nature and one person. The project is simple and fun:
1. Take your photo
2. Open it in Photoshop. You can do the slices many different ways. Perhaps the fastest way is this:
3. Use rectangular marquee to select a slice.
4. Experiment with hue/saturation, levels, black and white, etc. from the Image-->Adjustments menu.Then you can choose Filter--> Filter gallery to select some even more creative effects.
5. Repeat until you have many different slices of special effects.
6. Use pen tool to outline key details in the image (See printed example)
USING PEN TOOL TO OUTLINE:
Set your BRUSH tool to the size you would like your outline to be, and make sure you have selected 0% hardness. Then go to pen tool and use the pen tool to outline your object. Right click and select "Stroke Path". Select "brush" from the drop down menu and click ok.
Its basically telling Photoshop to use your brush settings to draw the outline.

Name your banner LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME_Banner.jpg
I have added a turn-in folder on the M:/ Turn in your name banner today by the end of the period. (As usual, you have a week from today to get it in the folder, BUT I will be adding the scores to Aeries during break, so it may show up as a missing assignment).
I also added a Quarter 2 extra credit folder, so you can begin collecting your things for extra points there. Just make sure your name is on everything.

On the M:/ you'll find a PDF tutorial and several source images. Download the source images and complete the tutorial. There are 3 photos you must complete using layer masks.
I prefer you use layer masking from now on instead of using destructive editing tools like the eraser. Layer masking never deletes any of the pixels- just hides them.
Run a 1x3 contact sheet for your edited photos and turn in to the Photo II folder.
