Super Moon

Picture
Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse, September 27, 2015. Left image: 70-300mm lens @ 270mm, ISO 1000, aperture f/5.3, shutter speed 1.3 secs. Right image: 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, ISO 800, aperture f/13, shutter speed 1/1250 sec.
To photograph the moon:
1. Use a tripod! A flat surface will only allow you to shoot straight, and shooting the moon means that you'll be shooting up and constantly re-adjusting the tripod as the moon moves throughout the night.
2. Use a shutter release cord, remote or the camera's self timer if you don't have one, so that you don't move the camera when pressing the shutter release during a long exposure.
3. Use a zoom lens and zoom in as much as you can to the moon. It's okay if it's not a super fancy lens, this was shot using a 15 year old $100 lens.  Focus in on the craters and details on the moon.
4. ISO 1250- 1600, so that you can use as fast a shutter speed as you can without losing detail-the longer the shutter speed, the more chances you have the camera will shake even slightly in the wind, resulting in an out of focus photograph. 
5. Aperture priority of f/5.6 since you are not worried about capturing any details other then the moon.
6. Bracket your exposure, meaning over expose and underexpose the photograph from what the camera is telling you. Generally the camera will overexpose the moon, so you'll get nothing but a white blob in the sky. Use the exposure compensation button (the +/- button below the shutter release) and change the exposure to -0.5, then -1.0, then -1.5 and so on, until you start seeing detail in the moon. You may go as far as -5.0 exposure compensation to get what you need. 
7. Take a fair amount of photos and keep refocusing as the night progresses. The photographs may look focused on the camera's display, but you won't really see if they're completely in focus until you upload them onto your computer screen.  ​

Artist as Mentor

For this project, you will be researching one of the photographers on the list below.  You are to then create a Google Presentation about them to share with your classmates. and posted on your webpage.  Share the presentation with me at kellymoncure@vistausd.org as lastname-firstname-artistlastname-period#

The presention must include the following information:
Slide 1. Title Page- artist name and your name
Slide 2. Artist name, date and place of birth and/or death, as well as a photograph of them.
Slide 3. What they are known for- commercial, fine art, documentary, war photography?  Explain what that career is (what does it mean to be a commercial photographer/ fine art photographer/ documentary?)
Slide 4. Interesting details about them, such as, where they went to school, what they are best known for, characteristics of their work…what makes them unique?  What made them famous? What makes them different then the other photographers out there?
Slides 5- 9. Five images of their work, with the title and date.  Try and get as high resolution images as possible, and be sure it is definitely by that artist and not “in the style of”.  Make sure you include their most well known photograph!!  Include within your speech any information you can find about the photographs, specifically what it is of, where were they made, was this part of a photo series, who was the client, where was it published- you will be discussing it within your presentation.  Make sure these are high resolution images.
Slides 10- 14 Your five photographs emulating the style of the photographer.  You must include two where you have recreated the specific composition of two of their photographs- make sure they are different then the previous five that you showed already (so that you show seven total of your photographer's work), and the other three in their style.  Think about using appropriate props/ clothing.  Discuss in your presentation how you were emulating their photographic style. 
Slide 15. Your personal opinion of the artist- what made you choose that person?  What is it that you 
like about their style?  What did you learn about your own photography versus their photography? (must be in complete sentences and in paragraph form)
Slide 16. Sources listed- no wikipedia!  Must have three or more sources with the website's proper name and url.  If the photographer has their own personal website, it must be included within your sources!  

Slide design should emulate the style of the photographer- for example, a presentation on Sandy Skoglund might be playful and colorful.  Extra kudos if you find anything on video about them that you can share a short clip (~ 2 minutes) of within your presentation.

Be sure that the slide design background doesn't distract from the photographs that you are presenting- only use a colored background (not a photograph) when presenting a photograph by yourself or your photographer.

Your five edited photographs should go in the 11-14-16 Photographer Research folder within the shared folder, saved as lastname-firstname-photographerlastname1, 2, 3, 4, 5.jpg

Please note: if your photograph isn't going onto Google Slides, it may be because of two reasons:
A. It's saved as a photoshop file- so merge the layers and save as a jpeg.
B. It's larger then 10 MB- so open up in Photoshop, go to image size, and change the resolution to 200 and decrease the size to get it less then 10 MB (not much further though- say, 9 mb). Save it as lastname-firstname-artistname-smaller.jpg so that you can differentiate that it's smaller and still keep the original file. 
​
Graded based on:
4 points: presentation- not speaking directly from slides, have notes, passionate about photographer
8 points: photographs- photographs emulate the style of the photographer, focused, good craftsmanship
4 points: time on task, citizenship, work to best of ability, all slides complete and on time, images in shared folder
