What to do for Class 8

Class,


As you know class #7 will take place in Avignon. Make sure to be in front of the building Thursday at 12:30. Yamina will take you to the bus and get your tickets, Kylie has been volunteered to hold them, so don't loose her.

What follows is therefore for class #8, Thursday July16:

1/ Finalize your portait. Kylie and Sara have a final shot all the others need to rework theirs as was discussed in class. All need to polish the final shot in Photoshop (Highlight/Shadow, Dodge, Burn, turn into b&w etc...) whatever your heart chooses. I hope that the Doisneau exhibit in Avignon will help inspire you. Also, please solicit comments if you have a hard time choosing or deciding what you want to do with your chosen pic.

Make a new entry in your blog under "Self Portrait" featuring all the new shots for those of you who need some. Also make another entry with the picked shot and its Photoshopped version.

If everything goes well we will the post those portraits on your pages on the class site.


2/ Do a panoramic in Photoshop with the frames that you have shot or that. Post the 2,3 different frames in your blog as well as the final result under the photoshop category.

3/ Post more photographs in your large album, notably action shots and from the Avignon trip. add to the select album accordingly.


Also, Aperture the other day in class was indeed acting up, there was nothing wrong with the files, I had just asked too much from aperture by going through too many files in too little time, here are my two favorite shots recently:





From the "Grande Corniche" above Monaco.







La Caravane du tour, parked in Brignolles for the first stager arrival.

The rest is on film, stay tuned, delivery for Christmas.


See you Thursday.
