Choice Concentration Series

~~Choice Concentration Series~~

For the choice concentration series, there are only 3 requirements:

• You MUST use your own photographs. (NOTHING FROM THE INTERNET!)
• You will post 3-5 images as a SERIES to your blog. (MUST BE A STRONG,COHESIVE SERIES)
• TURN THEM IN ON TIME.  They are due on Tuesday May 14th.  (If images need to be edited, you will have additional time to post them to your blog)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

YOU:      "So,  ::::scratching your head::::: ....what am I supposed to do???"

Mrs. Crouch:  "IT'S UP TO YOU!!!"

YOU:   HUH?????????

Mrs. Crouch:  "You heard me.  For this assignment you'll be exploring something (your choice) in detail and taking many photos.  You will then select your best photos to create a series to post to your blog.  You can edit them anyway you choose."

Having freedom to choose sounds like it will be great.... but honestly, it is much harder than it sounds. 

Think back to some photo taking assignment that you really enjoyed from this semester...and maybe revisit that assignment and explore it even further.  (DO NOT TRY TO PASS OFF YOUR OLD PHOTOS FOR NEW ONES.  I'll know, I promise!!  I WANT NEW PHOTOS!!)

A NOTE ABOUT YOUR SERIES:

•         ALL photos in your series should be VERY closely related visually.  
•          They MUST look like they BELONG together 
•          The best way to accomplish this is to take A LOT of photos of similar things, one object, similar ideas or concepts.... 

*Remember to take photos from different angles and viewpoints.

*Remember the rules of good composition (Rule of 3rds, diagonal lines, framing, unique angles, etc.).
