Notes de l'éditeur
- Here’s what we’re going to do today: Composition techniques Equipment Apps Settings (if we have time)
- Welcome -- Who are we Alex and Chantal
- We have an ambitious plan! But please stop us if with questions and concerns
- We have an ambitious plan! But please stop us if with questions and concerns
- How Many Brought a Camera? How many are DSLRs? How many are Point and Shoots? How many are Phones? In a minute we’re going to divide up, for now, all stay here. Not sure which group? If you know rule of thirds, you’re in group A
- Look at how many pics on GP site! Think about where your eyes go first!
- This is not a coincidence -- its what people respond to Look at Trendland, Again totally saturated
- This guy has a really funny website that has no decoration (I’m doing the same with my slide) People can tell between real folks and models Let people click for a bigger version Informative Images of the product you’re selling work -- Fluff doesn’t
- You probably start by taking snapshots - Posed - Everyone Looks at Camera - Smile! - Something behind you maybe Watch what you put online -- I’ll pull it off and put it in my slideshow
- Lets go beyond the snapshot to interrogate what we’re photographing So lets talk through some new ways to think about it.
- We can start by thinking about levels we shoot them from, and mix those up. Guy walking backwards to get peoples feet in!
- Get really close! In general, even with What about the girl on the right -- is this a mess up?
- Camera Awareness
- Lots of things we can photograph
- Not just pictures of people. Also landscapes
- But really, what’s the most interesting thing to look at? What do people engage with most?
- This is a portrait -- vs Snapshot Whats the same? -- Looking at Camera, Posed Whats different? -- thoughtful expression, thoughtful composition
- Eyetracking -- look where peoples eyes go first
- When should I snap my picture? During action We said take photos of people, but even better when they’re doin stuff. Look for settings with actions
- Or feeling stuff Why is this picture more fun? Because something genuine is happening. Candid! -- Solicit what does Candid mean Not acknow. the photographer, acting natural. People forget about you after awhile Or if they’re your family or friends they get used to you. How does Sarah feel here?
- People!!! Whats the diff betwn portrait and snapshot
- Has anyone heard of this? Divide the canvas into thirds both ways.
- How was positioned I when I took this? Try putting your head down on your desk and closing the higher up eye. You can do that w the camera. Lying on the floor The way you move your body around is important -- stay moving!
- Kneeled Down
- Look, my foot.
- Or just put the camera on the ground Why all this moving? To show us something our eyes don’t usually see!
- Think about depth -- more than one element in the photo
- Think about depth -- more than one element in the photo Good example of commentary What you can achieve with more photos
- Think about framing Look at professional photos, almost always many layers and stuff cut out of the frame.
- Other secret tips
- Not looking through the viewfinder. This will start showing what eyes don’t usually see.
- Don’t be shy! -- Its a good way to get over being shy Make a plan for what you want to get, then push youself to get it. How much do you spend on film? Nothing? So shoot a lot!
- The way you shoot essays is very different than single photos Diversity of angles, depth of shots, follow the story through time, represent different aspects of the story, Example: Domestic servitude Indian Laundry Headscarfs
- What do we think of when we see this Its not just the image, its the context created by the words. With this context we see the blues more darkly, its more somber Framing — in the Kip Fullbeck example info from two sources, the photog and the subject both provided context and meaning
- When is technology too much? What can’t phones do? Well, a lot: Low light, action, telephoto, go really wide, depth of field But until you build those skills, simpler is sometimes better. What you have with you is impt

- What do we think of when we see this Its not just the image, its the context created by the words. With this context we see the blues more darkly, its more somber 2:15: Break into Groups
- Filtering is filtering. Much more likely your phone photos will need them.
- A couple good resources for J photos If you want to become a good photog, shoot a lot, but also, look a lot.

- 2:30 If you know rule of thirds, you’re in group A Small group on 304 w/ Chantal Big group in 302 w/ Alex
- What do you notice about focus in the picture? Thats what depth of field means You can control it with the F Stop. Size of the little hole light goes through. Bigger, more light, less depth of field Don’t need to know why, just know it will make you look pro.
- Compare these two. Which has a shallower “depth of field” You can control it with the F Stop. Size of the little hole light goes through. Bigger hole, more light, less depth of field. Don’t need to know why, just know it will make you look pro.
- Lower F stop number or use the flower icon. Also allows for low light shooting Again here, showing something our eyes can’t see.
- What shutter speed did I take this picture at? (Hint -- not on a tripod) Answer: About 1/30 -- I could hold it steady, but the runners still blurred.
- (They should have cameras out at this point) Breeze past this with the Advanced Group These aren’t universal, but common Stick with one brand and you’ll be able to carry over from camera to camera
- (They should have cameras out at this point) Go through changing the F stop and the Aperture
- Shoot JPEGs. File size (how many Megapixels. Shoot Largest on a cell phone, Smaller on a DSLR. Get some volunteers to tell you size (in pixels) of their settings. Shoot JPGs Go over how to change these
- Refresher on what these mean
- Another draw of photos (and of SN sites in general) is that they enable a form of voyeurism. In real life there is a strong norm against prying into other people's lives. But online enables "a very delicate way for me to pry into your life without really prying," How to share on Twitter?
- Don’t just go take posed pics of each other, Look for people! Come back in :30 minutes (It should be 3:00)
- We have an ambitious plan! But please stop us if with questions and concerns
- Walk through how to do each step
