What is due this week?

Post a hello and introduction to yourself.

Post an inventive self portrait.  Don't post a plain "selfie"... think about using a reflective object... can be curved... and distorting.  Look for light and design.  Have fun, do something unusual!

Here is the Week 1 rubric or checklist linked from the upper right of the blog..."How am I doing....."

Week 1
Self portrait posted to class blog
Brief Biography
Create Fotothing.com portfolio
Criteria for weekly grade:
A: Inventive use of reflection, tripod, holding the camera at self. Use of natural light. Image is clear and in focus.Bio positive. Fotothing portfolio created.
B: One technical problem, including date stamp on, out of focus, less than good light. Bio positive. Fotothing portfolio created.
C: Flash used, Snapshot used, no bio and introductory hello... Fotothing.com acct not created.
D: Numerous technical problems, missing one element, either written introduction or image. No fotothing account created.
F: No work found for the week.

Note: You can experiment with blur or motion so you can ignore "Image is clear and in focus" if you want....

IMPORTANT!

No need to create a Fotothing account and post there.  There are only 3 in the class so it is appropriate to post your best 7 images each week here on the blog.  I will comment on all work here on the blog...

Let me know which photo editing software you are using.  All of the images posted generally need to be edited for light, contrast, color balance, perhaps cropped, etc. for maximum impact.

Here is what a quick Google Images search turned up with the search term "Abstract Photographic Self Portrait"

This is the week to get everything up and running... again, have fun :)!
