Today, please finish up your research projects AND
a. make sure your google presentation has a link on your website
b. your five images that you created in your artists' style is on your website underneath your link
c. your five images are in the common drive in rbv-class1 > 231Common > period# > Artist Mentor folder as lastname-firstname-artistsname1.jpg, lastname-firstname-artistlastname2.jpg, etc

Once you're done with the above, you may read one of the articles from Life or try your hand at one of the tutorials listed under your resources page : )

Hyperlink to your google slides- make sure it's searchable by the inter web, not just Vista students

Have your five photos below of your artist recreations and in the style.

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.  ​

1. Put top two or three images that you took in the Halloween folder in the common drive as lastname-firstname-halloween1.jpg, lastname-firstname-halloween2.jpg etc.
Shared drive- RBV-Class1 > 231 Common > Period # >10-31-2016 Halloween.

2. Create a new blog post called "Halloween" and put your top two or three images (okay if more) as large as possible there. In the captions have the ISO, Aperture and Shutter speed information.

3. FINISH your Principles blog post. Due by the end of class with your completed self evaluation. http://moncurephoto.weebly.com/class-assignments-2016--2017/principles-of-art
Make sure you have the contact sheet and an image for each principle in the common drive in addition to your blog post with a three sentence description in paragraph form.
