2020-21 Challenge Number 1: 3-Picture Winter story

Posted by luke //

November 24, 2020

Hello Photographers,
As we discussed, your challenge over December is to take lots and lots of winter-themed photos. Winter means holidays, winter weather, snow and ice, lights, food, recreation: anything related to the winter season

Then you will look at all of your photos, and select three of them to tell a winter story.

Photo 1: The Establishing Shot. This photo serves to “set the stage,” and give viewers a sense of place, surroundings, mood. Think of this image as an overview entry in to your story.
Photo 2: The Relationship. This image show interaction, transaction, connection, an activity that communicates the essence of your story.
Photo 3: The Details. This can be an image that shows a detail of the story, something you might not see from your Establishing Shot. It serves to tell more about the story, and put the viewer closer in touch with your story. It might even provide explantation to the story.
Story Title: Give your 3-Picture Winter Story a title

Note: Your 3-photo story doesn’t necessarily have to have your three images presented in this order. Often Photos 2 and 3 are presented as 1,3,2.

Once you’ve selected your three photos, you can arrange them together in a story, or you can send all three to me, and let me know the order you want them presented. We’ll then look at your stories together in a slideshow.

Email your story/photos to elementl@bresnan.net, and include your name and story title. Make sure to include 3-Picture Story in the subject line of your email so I know what it’s for!

Example 3-Picture Stories:

Challenge 4: Self-Portrait

Posted by luke //

Self-Portrait Gallery:
http://elementl.net/4H/self-portrait-gallery/

You have the camera. You have the vision. How do you want to portray yourself visually? Using the photography skills you have learned, and inspiration from self-portraits you’ve seen, you are challenged to plan and execute a creative, photographic self-portrait. Think BEYOND a regular selfie!

Some things to consider in planning your self-portrait:

Lighting and light sources
composition
color, sepia tone, or black/white
clothing and other visual elements
Depth, focus and exposure (or double-exposure!)

What you can’t use:

No photoshop or Instagram filters. We’re not looking for any software enhancement, just your skills and creativity using the camera you have.

Submit your photo via the form below, or by email. Deadline: Friday, April 24. I will post your self-portraits in an online gallery after the deadline. There will be a comment section where you can provide insight/explanation on your photo, as well as feedback and critique to others!

Examples:

Please review the images below to see how other photographers have found creative solutions to their self-portrait.

Submit your photo one of two ways:

Use the form below
Email Luke your photo, and include your full name, 4-H club and email address. You can email JPEG, PNG, or PDF. Email to: elementl@bresnan.net

Challenge 3: Photo Show selections

Posted by luke //

February 17, 2020

It’s time to start thinking about what photos you want to exhibit in the 2020 Photo Show. You may have a vision or an idea, so start thinking about how you will achieve and capture that photo.

Considerations:

What type of photo do you want to pursue? A portrait? An abstract photo? An artistic image? An outdoor landscape? The possibilities are limitless, so challenge yourself.
Thinking about your composition: will you photograph in vertical or horizontal format? Which orientation will work best for your images?
Think about light: will you use natural light, like sunshine or ambient room light? Or will you set up your own lighting?
Do you need to ask people for help? Do you need to go somewhere, or have some materials to compose your image?
There is a limit of just two images you can exhibit in the Photo Show, so be a strong critic of your own work, and choose your very best to display. If you’re not happy with your images, keep taking more photographs until you are happy with the results.
Remember that your photos need to be behind glass in a black frame, no exceptions! Make sure you allow plenty of time to get your photos printed, and to mount and frame them. Remember you’ll need to have a hanging bracket or a wire on the back of the frame, or it will not be included in the exhibit.

Challenge 2: Shadows

Posted by luke //

January 6, 2020

In our second challenge, we discussed the concept of shadows. We looked at examples of how photographers have captured interesting and beautiful photos by finding naturally occurring shadows, creatively manipulating natural shadows, and creating their own shadows through artificial or natural light sources.

Your challenge is to review examples of shadows in photography, and:

Find and photograph a naturally-occurring shadow, and
Create an interesting shadow using a natural or artificial light source, and photograph it.

Once you have a good image, email your photo to Luke by February 15, 2020. Please include the subject line: Shadow Photo, and be sure to include your name. Email address: elementl@bresnan.net. Late submissions will not be included in the slide show.

We will then look at your images together as a group at our February Photography meeting on Wednesday, February 19.
