Architectural Photo Shoot

Your Architecture Project will consist of your 12 best shots on a contact sheet and one 5x7 JPEG. You will take 36-40 shots (same as a roll of film) and narrow it down from there. You will be shooting man-made, permanent structures. It can be the entire structure (a barn, church, pier, etc.) or just an architectural feature (a window, door, moulding, cornice, steeple, etc.). Your photo can include people or animals, but they should be incidental---not the focus of the shot. On Monday, October 1st, you will turn in your 12 best shots on a contact sheet. If you don't have 12 shots in the completed assignments folder by the end of class, you will take a zero on the deadline grade. Beginning on the 1st, we'll start editing those photos!! You should edit at least 6-12 photos to be able to determine which is your best shot. Go for something unusual. Pay attention to shadows and color. You may use a filter on this photo, but make sure it ENHANCES the picture. Think...calendar shot! We are going for either beauty, or very high interest. Your final photo will be due on Friday, October 5th. During the week you will learn lots of new techniques to use on your photos. It will be fun!! You can continue to take more architectural shots all during the week if you find that you are not satisfied with what you have on the 1st. Your final photo does not have to be on the contact sheet.Good examples of architectural photos can be found at:http://photo.net/learn/architectural/exterior
