Lightroom

Today in class we talked a bit about Photography workflow, the difference between Lightroom and Photoshop, and the difference in file formats. (JPEG, RAW, DNG) We also looked at importing images into a library, creating catalogs, and organizing images. You should have the previous assignment, (the Questionare and Portrait posts) complete and uploaded to your blog. 

Check out this great link about Lightroom.

ASSIGNMENT For this week: 

• Screenshot: I'd like you to create the file archive system that we in reviewed in class and take a screenshot of it (command*shift*4) and post it to your blog.

• Blog/Article Review: I want you to look at an art/photography blog, (suggested links to the right), and look it over, and post to your blog the following about a recent (past few months) post:
• Blog Name
• Title of the article or artist
• Image from the article or artist
• 1 short paragraph addressing the blog as a whole. Some talking points to consider:
• Who is the blogger? How is the site organized? Is it easy to read/visually appealing? How often do they post and what are their main posts about? Is it an art blog or just photography?
• 1 short paragraph addressing the article/artist. Some talking points:
• What is the article about? Who is the artist? What kind of work do they do? Were you interested, excited, curious, disinterested by what you read? If so, why? 
• Link to the blog/article

• Alphabet and Portraits: The entire alphabet is is not due next class period, but I would like you to begin shooting and challenge yourself to begin seeing the lines and shapes around you differently. You should be continuing to shoot portraits of yourself and others, and now start to find and shoot "found" alphabets. Next class period, I will show you a bit on Photoshop and how to size images, create a layer, work in color/BW and crop your images to create a single final image. These techniques will come in handy for the remainder of the assignments. Check the blog this week to for more posts!
