Week 3
Assignment: By the Sea
Look at Weston's work at Point Lobos, California. What kind of light did he photograph under? How did he move in and compose what ever he was looking at? For each photograph, consider the point of view Weston and the camera position.
Weston got down, got close to these rock forms on the beach. I want you to do the same
Read this short biography of Ansel Adams.Watch this slide show of selected images from his classic work in Yosemite National Park.
You are to visit the beach, and look carefully at form, light, composition and line. Examine tidal pools, rock formations and sand patterns with the curiosity and freshness of a young child, say a toddler. Move in close, fill the frame. Submit your best two images on the class blog and post 6-10 or more to your online album. (Links in academic expectations below).
If you live well inland and would prefer to visit a waterfall or brook with moving water, that would work too.
Post 6-10 of your best, edited shots this week... Have fun! Evening is a good time to go... about an hour before sunset, then stay through the sunset... (assuming you go on a sunny day)!
