Hey there folks!
Today we are doing lots of things!
For the 9's:
We are starting pinhole today, starting with the demo.
For this project I'm asking for 3 negatives, and one positive from those negatives.
We will be using the class cameras, but you are free to make your own for bonus, and I will demo making a camera later this week.
Your 3 negatives should show:
*one clear image
*one movement image
*one double exposure
Your positive will be of one of these negatives. All should be clear.
I would like your images to be taken from unusual angles, outside. [Think the photographer from last day]
For the 10's
You will be showing the 9's around the darkroom, please think of the important things to show them.
For your blog:
Please define "aperture" : what does it affect? How do you control the depth of feild? What are the advantages of controlling the depth of feild?
Post 1 photo's each to your blog showing a close, middle, and far depth of feild.
Begin thinking of things you can photograph that would create an interesting relationship between the background and foreground for your project.
Work time in the darkroom for the last part of class. Please continue making your contact sheet, prints, and scanning.

Scanner Demo Day, Work Day!
Good Day!
For the Grade 9's, if you are finished working through your projects and everything is on your blog, then please go to the share folder. Find the Enlarger folder and locate the worksheets. One has lots of information, the other has some basic questions. I can accept them either online or in person into the hand in box at the front of the room for Photo 9/10.
Look up Pinhole cameras as well to get familiar with how they work and how you would use them.
For the Grade 10's there will be a demo on film scanning, using the Epson Scanner on the computer by the door. I would like your best photo scanned and put online. [Your 3 prints will still be handed in with the question answers.]

You are to save your images to your folder on the server. Name them with your last name in the title, and Project 1.
We will be sharing your favorite photo with the class. Save it under the share folder, D1, in the "Personify 1" folder.
You are also going to be writting a few sentences about the backround of your object.
-In about 5 sentences, discuss the choices you made with the object in regards to how you personified it, gave it a personality, the settings you used in the camera. Tell me a story!
-Save this into a Microsoft Word Document in your student folder. Email it to yourself if necessary to work on at home. This will be posted in your Blog when we set it up later this week.
