You are going to work with your teammates to each create a unique work of art using the theme of "float" as originated by Salvador Dali.  You will look at galleries here and here for inspiration.
Have your shutter speed set at shutter priority of 1/250th of a second or faster, and have your shooting as continuous modem.  Be creative!  WOW me!

In Halsman’s famous collaboration with Salvador Dali, Dali Atomicus, getting the right composition took 28 takes and 3 unhappy (but unharmed cats).

10. Group portrait (must be your photograph- not of you)
11. Group portrait (second one) (must be different then first one and not of you)
12. Slow shutter speed (best one- include what the speed was)
13. Fast shutter speed (best one- include what the speed was)
14. Color wheel project
15. Rule of thirds project (can be what you did at start of year or if you have a more recent one you like)

20. Selective color (best one)

22. Four seasons landscape
23-25. Free choice of favorite three shots that were not addressed above (each on their own slide w/a title)
