Here is a link to the double exposure technique.
YES, You may have figured out your own easier way of doing it, BUT I want you to try this method because it has you learning a new tool called a "clipping mask", which you have never used.

You must use all your own photos. You will need 1 simple portrait and 1 natural backdrop. You want your natural backdrop to be kind of "busy" like a bush or tree bark. Look at the examples to see what I mean.

You guys will try to wrap up your Surrealism photographs today (remember, you're advanced, working at a more efficient rate of one piece per week!) and begin a double exposure tutorial on Monday.

Drop your finished Surreal piece in the folder. Here is a preview from next week's tutorial:

Good morning!

You will start concentration piece #4, which will be due Friday.
Take advantage of the puddles outside for interesting reflection shots, if this pertains to your concentration theme. Think about your theme and how it could be used in a reflection. You can get some really interesting results!

This just in: CONGRATS to Cheyann for winning 1st place and Kevin for winning honorable mention in the advanced photo category at the MJC show!

Catching Ghosts

This week you will be doing double exposure ghost images along with photo I. Since we did not do this activity last year, you can complete it along with Photo I. For now, search "double exposure ghosts" to get an idea of what we will be doing.

You should be working on your first concentration piece. This should be a professional quality depiction of your concentration idea. It should look deliberate, planned, and well edited. By Friday, you will submit your concentration piece, as well as a contact sheet showing me that you took several photoshoots and tried multiple ideas.

Here are some past examples of concentration quality work:

 Concentration for pic 1 was Black and white portraits, Pic 2 was macro nature, pic 3 water and reflections, 4 skateboarding, 5 macro portraits/people.

Make sure your magazine article is in the turn-in folder today.
Make sure your 10 questions from last Tuesday are turned in to the folder. Also, check that your TED Talks paper is in the folder and that it includes your concentration decision at the bottom.

Today you will begin working on your first concentration photos. You should plan on taking a LOT of photos, and selecting from only the BEST.

Magazine article

Open the document on the M:/ about creating a magazine article on portraits.
Read this document carefully, as you will be creating an article using the information you found Monday-Tuesday.
I have a timetable listed for you- you have already completed days 1 and 2, so you will start on day 3, deciding what information to focus on and what images you would need to illustrate your points.
