Am I forgetting anything?

Hey folks.. here is what we're up to:

Tues Nov 15: Dry mounting work. If you don't do it this day, then after Thanksgiving break. You don't have to do it in class, either, if you know how to do it yourself. If you pick one of the other options for the final project, you can come in and work if you wish. I'll be here to help.

Thurs Nov 17: Last lecture and quiz. 

Tues Nov 22: No class this day. Happy Thanksgiving.

After Thanksgiving, one more round of group meetings -- we'll review work from the semester and perhaps go over some Photoshop tricks (so think of good questions for me!).

Final project information found here!

Hey folks remember to post your best studio food shots for extra credit!! (Group 3, are you ready??)

Hey folks... as a group we decided no class this Thursday -- we will share our favorites from this semester but it will be a later date. So, make-up work day Thursday, do what you'd like with it. I'll be around in the photo room or in 3W, room 2 if you need me.

Photojournalism Extra Credit Options

You can pick any two of these options -- they have to be posted on Flickr by December 6 and must be labeled Extra Credit in the title. Each is worth up to 25 points.

1. Shoot another photo story. To get the full 25 points, find the most interesting story you can think of to tell. No friends or family, but friend of a friend is okay. Keep in mind the usual -- good exposure, color, and include descriptive captions. 5-7 photos.

2. Shoot another sports assignment. Your best 5 shots from a sporting event with captions. You can do pretty much anything but a pick-up game. (High school, college, pro......)

3. Take the portrait of 4 DMACC faculty or staff members in the studio. Andy and Curt don't count. :) Include some background info in your caption (how long have they worked at DMACC? What do they like most about it? Etc.)

4. Shoot a concert or other musical performance. Five best shots with captions.

5. Tell a photo story about a soup kitchen, animal shelter, or volunteer center. Five photos with captions. Offer for them to use the photos.

6. Three more conceptual illustrations, like we've already done for Oct. 25.

Schedule update

Hey Folks..

Lecture today--

Next week, we are scheduled for both Tues and Thurs -- BUT I'm going to change that up.

We'll meet Tuesday (for those that aren't in San Francisco) and talk about using the studio lights. Thursday will be an open day that you can use to shoot your portraits (in the studio) ....

I can be flexible with the portrait studio due date since we will have a few people out of town and schedules for getting people in to shoot might be tough. So, again, let me know if you need an extension for the studio portraits.

So-- 

Oct 4 - class (studio demo)

Oct 6 - no class, can use as work time in studio if you want

Oct 11 - Lecture #3 / quiz on chapters 5, 7, 14 (I can catch San Fran people up with using studio this day if needed)

Oct 13 - Group 1 meets, group 2 or 3 people can use studio if needed

Cutline Tips

Cutlines

• Clarity and accuracy are key

• Need to gather enough information from the scene

• If at first you don’t succeed, try try again (rewrites are your friend)

(Noun) (verb) (direct object) during (proper event name) at (proper noun location) in (city) on (day of the week), (month) (date), (year). Why or How.

Who is in the photo

What are they doing

When and where

How (was the photo staged in any way?  was a long exposure used to make a motion blur? is there a special effect involved in the photo?)

Why did the event occur?

Avoid unnecessary adjectives, adverbs and commentary (“Jill Smith makes an excellent play at home plate as she quickly tags out Katie Johnson, who ran too slowly.” -- instead: “Jill Smith tags out Katie Johnson in a close play at home plate.”)

"The city council votes to ban smoking in bars Wednesday."

"The city council votes Wednesday to ban smoking in bars."

• Always identify main people in photo

• Use present tense for describing the scene.  Use past tense for additional information that happened in the past.

• Avoid telling reader what they can see for themselves in the caption

• Don’t try to read people’s (or animal’s) minds

• Write your own captions

• Usually no more than two sentences (but this rule can be broken if more information is needed).

• Avoid "is shown," "is pictured," and "looks on"

• Use identifiers: "in the red jacket," "holding the shovel," etc. or simply "left," "right," "center"

• Use commas when identifying:  "Fran Francis, middle, cheers as..."

• Interesting quotes can spice up your captions

• Don't use cliches

• For newspapers, AP (Associated Press) style is followed

• Watch your spelling!

Hey folks, reminder that we have a short quiz over chapter 1-4. Mostly true/false multiple choice.

Other than that we'll just do an in-class demo. We might talk about external flashes so if you want to practice you can bring yours, but it won't be required. We'll just talk about some techniques using the flash.

Andy

Great job shadow assignments so far.

Healing Tool: OK to remove sensor dust

Follow up to something I was saying when it comes to editing your photos:

I know I said no clone stamp or healing tool, BUT if you're just getting rid of sensor dirt, that is ok (as opposed to fixing blemishes -- although some news organizations WILL fix blemishes for magazine covers).

I told some people that the Facebook page link was on the website but I must have been wrong! Here is the link. I'll add it to the sidebar.

Added some more examples on the right..!

Captions/cutlines

I fixed/added a couple links on writing captions/cutlines under the "Other Resources."

I have a bad habit of using these terms interchangeably, but technically cutlines are what we will be writing. Captions are the short descriptions that are sometimes above the photo, especially when the photo is run without a story. A lot of photos don't have captions in newspapers, but they almost all have cutlines.

But if I say caption, assume I'm talking about cutlines. I think our book calls them captions, I'll have to double check.

Class Tuesday

Hey folks -- I forgot to mention: bring your camera to class on Tuesday (and a memory card).

Welcome Fall 2011 students.....

Just a quick note if you looked at the "Which group am I in" document before now, I did make a slight change so double check it. I'll have a hard copy in our first class for everyone.

Photos from the storm yesterday.

"Compared to 20 years ago the volume has increased by a factor of about 30 due to the ease of rapid digital transmission of images and is also a result of broader editing by photographers in the field. Previously analogue transmissions meant stories had to be summarized in just three or four photos.

Some interesting thoughts on the photojournalism scene from the BBC.

Copyright and fair use -- if you change someone else's photo slightly can you claim "fair use"? Nope..! See this recent case.

Photo story 2 & 3

Photo Story #2 & 3

Photo Story #2 Due: February 22
Photo Story #3 Due: April 21
Specifics:
• 5-7 photos
• Captions for each
• Handed in via Flickr

This assignment is similar to your Family/Friends story but this time you'll tell the story of a stranger or acquaintance. Your task is to tell a story through photos. Again, you can tell the story with the best 5-7 photos. Use as many angles you can (literally and figuratively) for the reader.

Find someone with a story. Maybe you know someone with an unusual (and photogenic) job. Maybe it's someone who faces an everyday struggle. Maybe it's someone who is trying to make a difference. Think human interest. Conflict. Complication.Inspirational. Struggle. Unusualness. Humor.

Coordinate a shooting schedule once you find someone. Maybe you will follow them around for half a day. Maybe you'll stop by over the period of a week or a couple weeks. It depends on the timeline of your subject story.

You don't have to follow a single subject, either. Your story could be a certain issue or problem that affects different people. Keep an eye out for stories about trends in the paper, maybe you shoot one person as an example of a trend.

Do whatever research you can to plan how much equipment you'll need with you (a flash? telephoto lens? tripod?)

Remember to include descriptive captions for each image. The story might not be clear without good captions. Feel free to break the typical 2-sentence length.

Each photo should be of a different "event" or "moment." For example, you wouldn't include a photo and then another one taken a few seconds later from a slightly different angle. Pick the best one to represent that moment. Think of each photograph as a different chapter of a book.

Use a mix of close-ups, medium shots and wide shots. Get different perspectives.

Arrange the shots in the sequence that makes the most sense. It's not always chronologically how they were shot.

If it's between the less perfect shot that better tells the story or a nice shot with less story, pick the one that best tells the story.

Try be as honest and objective as you can. Be a fly on the wall. Don't manipulate the subject.

Remember to title your photo story.

And remember to edit and crop all images as needed.

Illustration assignments

Conceptual and Celebrity Photo Illustration Assignments

Both Due March 22 -- handed in via Flickr. Include a headline description, no caption needed.

Celebrity: Sometimes newspapers need "art" for a story about someone who has died. In this case, sometimes photojournalists will create a photo illustration using props and sometimes models.
Your assignment is to illustrate the last birthday of an iconic celebrity. For example: Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne, Jimi Hendrix, or Buddy Holly. Find some props that fit your subject and arrange them in a visually interesting way. Don't forget the birthday aspect -- a cake, cupcake, calendar date, etc.

Conceptual: Your task is to illustrate a concept through photography, and, if you want, Photoshop.
Here are some ideas:
Crime on college campuses
College students trying to live on a small budget
Computer frustration
Avoiding the flu
Anger management
The stress of parenting
Kids playing too many video games
The challenge of dieting
Living environmentally conscious
Too much texting/Facebook on campus
Print is dead
Surviving an all-nighter
Binge drinking on campus
Rising cost of textbooks
Cheating in college
Relationship blues

You can take a concept and go to the next level: for example, with "Computer frustration," you could illustrate too much email spam and someone being frustrated by it (maybe someone buried under a pile of letters?). Then you could have a headline like, "How to keep from being buried in spam."

Think about these ideas from different angles and use wordplay. For example, for living on a budget, you could try to convey the concept of literally "pinching pennies." You get the idea. Use a visual metaphor (see p. 342 in the book) or an archetype (e.g., Mother Nature, knight in shining armor) as a visual shortcut.

Focus on not only your subject but also what colors and lighting you use. Does it call for high key light? Moody shadows? A backlit alley? You'll have to say a lot about an abstract concept for the reader very quickly and clearly.

Your background will also add to the mood of the scene. You can use a simple backdrop or even use a composition in Photoshop. Remember, if you use Photoshop, don't incorporate someone else's work.

Picking the right model and props will also be key. Make sure your props are accurate enough (if you need to fake it, that's fine if we don't notice!). Like a good actor in a movie, your model should make sense in the role.

See p. 345 for thinking creatively. Brainstorm with a friend or classmate. Play with words and puns. Don't rely on overdone cliches. Try to put a new spin on them.

New portrait assignments

Candid & Studio Portrait assignments

Candid portrait due Feb 15
Studio portrait due March 8

These are similar to your family/friend portrait except this one should be of someone you don't know well. Friend of a friend perhaps. Part of the reason for this is to practice capturing the "story" of someone who you might not be comfortable with. Photojournalists have to do this every day.

One candid - this means NOT in the studio or in your back yard. It should be in an interesting location that means something to the subject. Your subject at work or home doing "what they do," in a candid, unrehearsed moment.
Make sure we can see their face.

One studio portrait - here is where you can show off your studio, posing, and lighting skills. Include props to help illustrate your subject's interests. (If you haven't used studio lights yet, Andy can give you a quick lesson)
You don't have to use the studio -- you can find an interesting location, but make sure you have "good" light -- sun low in the sky, overcast day, light coming in through a window. Use a fill flash outside if needed.
Unlike the candid shot, you have the ability to pose your subject.

Tips for the studio shot
• Use small talk or music to put the subjects at ease.
• Try using a remote shutter release or cable release to maintain a connection (and eye contact) with the subject.
• Lighting is key: Think about if you want high key (few shadows) or low key (moody, dark lighting), or something in between -- see our website for a link to lighting examples.
• You can use "glamour" or "butterfly" lighting with the light in direct line of sight of the subject and camera, raised slightly above eye level (this really only works with soft light, hard light with this method won't be flattering).
• Usually soft light is best, but also consider hard light.
• Be on the lookout for locations that have interesting lighting without having to do any setup
• Sometimes a reflector is called for to add some fill light. You can use anything from a white sheet of paper, foam core, aluminum foil, or a (real) store-bought reflector. Attach to a stand for added control.
• Avoid busy backgrounds; Use open apertures and/or telephoto lenses to blur the background (a 50mm f1.8 is a nice portrait lens)
• To make your background more out of focus, pull your subject away from it.

NewsU.Org assignment

Hi folks,

You might have noticed in the syllabus that for February 1 we have listed NewsU.org "Language of the Image."

Here are the directions to complete the assignment....

1. Go to NewsU.org and create a free account. (You only need to fill in the required fields -- it will send an email to you -- you'll have to check your email and click on their link)

2. Search for the "Language of the Image" course and click enroll (it's free).

3. Complete the self-directed course (should take 20-30 minutes or so) and click "Email course report" to me (andylangager at gmail dot com). The course is a bit open-ended, so hopefully it's not too confusing.

That's it! It's worth 25 points. It'll be due in two weeks (February 8th).

Sports Assignment(s)

Sports Assignment #1 & 2
Due: February 8 & April 22
Specifics:
• Three of your best shots from one sporting event -- don't overlap with a News Event
• Captions for each
• Handed in via Flickr

Ideas:
High school or college wrestling
Drake, Grand View or DMACC basketball
Track & Field
iCubs (April 15-22)
Off-road bike race/cyclocross (bikeiowa.com / Ride calendar)
Des Moines Buccaneers hockey
Mixed Martial Arts

Media pass:
Unless you have an "in" or know you can get on the sidelines at a high school game, you'll need to get a media pass:

• Call the media relations office for the team.
• Say a photojournalism student and you're interested in a media pass. They will take your name and usually just leave the pass at the ticket window.

Other tips:
• Put your camera in aperture priority -- if you don't have a lot of light, set it to the smallest f-stop number. This will automatically give you the fastest shutter speed available.
• If the setting is too dark and you're having trouble getting a fast shutter speed (1/500 or faster is ideal for sports), set your ISO up to 1600.
• Flashes are usually prohibited, although sometimes they are allowed (ask media relations).
• Shoot the scoreboard occasionally so you know what quarter/period the play happened in.
• Take notes during the game for your captions, especially if you know you got a great shot.
• For all games… STAY SAFE! Watch for flying players or objects!
• Try to figure out if there are any stars on the team and try to focus on them throughout the game. Watch for interesting interactions with the referees or the bench, or any interesting characters in the crowd.

Assignments 1 & 2

Family/Friend photo story • due January 18 • 25 points

In 5-7 photos, capture a story with images. Following your family or friends is okay.

This should be a real event. Don't influence or contribute to events. Let them unfold and do your best to gather a variety of photos to convey the story to anyone who wasn't there. Try to include a beginning, middle, and end. Try to pick something photogenic.
Remember to get a variety of angles and shots: close-ups, wide shots, low-angle, high-angle, medium shots.
Remember that the shots should work together as a whole, not just one by one. If you have seven shots that are too similar, your story won't be very interesting from the reader's perspective.
Write a short caption for each photo (1-2 sentences). Simply describe what is happening and who is in the photo. Say when it happened in the first photo (if the story happens over the course of time, tell the reader at every major time jump). Remember the where, as well. Who, what, when, where (and why).
Photo story ideas: Following a sibling athlete before, during and after the game. Following a friend through their day at work or school. Documenting your friend giving their dog a haircut. Telling the story of your cousin as she replaces a flat tire. Capture a series of images showing the story of a hunting trip.

5-7 shots, cropped 5x7 or 8x10
Uploaded to your Flickr account
10 points: storytelling
10 points: technical proficiency (focus, exposure, composition, cropping, etc.)
5 points: caption


Family/Friend portrait • due January 25 • 25 points

Find an interesting family member or friend.
Take their portrait in a way that really shows who they are. What is their story? What makes them interesting?
Think about looking at a simple portrait of someone you don't know. It usually doesn't have much interest to you, does it?
As a photojournalist, your job is to make the photo interesting by using lighting, props, location, and positioning the subject (for portraits, photojournalists are allowed to influence the shot, unlike most other assignments).
Don't forget to write a few sentences telling us what the "story" is. Captions play a vital role in making the photo interesting for the reader. Think about what is unusual, interesting, quirky, etc. and include it in the caption. Explain the prop or location in the caption if needed.

Late assignments will be accepted up to a week late, but they will be marked off 50%.



Final Portfolio: At the end of the semester, you'll hand in a printed portfolio of your 20 best photos. They should be printed by a professional printing service (recommended: Snapfish, Smugmug, Kodak, Shutterfly).
It should be handed in with a simple black art portfolio book ($5.50 on Amazon)

Project Assignments:

• Family/Friend Photo story
• Family/Friend story portrait
• Sports assignment 1
• Celebrity Illustration
• Candid Portrait

• Photo story 2
• Studio Portrait
• Conceptual illustration
• Sports assignment 2
• Photo story 3

News Event Assignments (25 points each):
In addition to our Project Assignments, you will be responsible for 4 other News Event assignments of your choice throughout the semester. You can shoot:
• Sporting events (basketball, volleyball, baseball, wrestling)
• Concerts
• Performances
• Media events like press conferences, ground breaking, etc.
• Speeches or appearances
• Spot news like fire, accidents, anything you come across
• Protests
• Or anything else newsworthy.

For every news event, you'll turn in your 5 best shots with captions on each one. We'll talk more about captions later.

What is newsworthy? Newsworthiness is made up of such factors as importance, impact, human interest, celebrity, proximity and timeliness. One test is, ask yourself: Can I imagine this photo the local paper? If yes, then it is probably newsworthy.

News Events are due Jan 31, February 28, March 31 and April 14.

They should be turned in via Flickr on the day due or they will be marked late (50% off).


Your choice: Clip book or Paper (50 points):

At the end of the semester, you'll hand in either a "clip" book or a short paper (NOT BOTH).

Clip book: To keep up with what local photojournalists are doing, I'd like you to clip photos, along with their captions (cut lines), and paste/insert them into an album to hand in at the end of the semester. You'll need a 3-ring album or scrapbook that has enough pages to fit 50 clips (usually 1 clip per page). You can find clips in the Des Moines Register (you can get a free paper with a gas refill at Kum and Go!), Des Moines Juice (free), CityView (free), Datebook (free),or any other local paper.

(continued on next page)

Paper: I'd like you to write a 1000-word paper on one of these four topics:
• A famous photojournalist (Margaret Bourke-White, Weegie, Dorothea Lange, Robert Capa, Roger Fenton, Eddie Adams, etc.)
• The history of photojournalism
• Photojournalism ethics (for example, dealing with Photoshop)
• Take a single issue of The Des Moines Register and critique all the photos chosen for that issue. What works? What doesn't? How are the captions? How would you improve the photos? Do they tell a story? Does it match the copy (words) of the story?

Flickr:
I'd like you to turn in your News Event assignments in via Flickr. If you already have an account, great. If not, it's free to sign up. The free account is limited to 100 MB per month, but that should be enough (just make sure to shrink/compress your photos after you edit them -- an easy way to do it is "Save for the Web" in Photoshop).
Add me as a contact or send me the link to your profile so I can bookmark you. Then, all you have to do is upload your weekly assignments and add a slug for each event (one or two word descriptive title of the story you covered) and caption. If you don't want your photos public, you can adjust the privacy level; just make sure to add me as a contact so I can see them.

One-on-one meetings:
When we don't have lecture, we will be doing one-on-one meetings to talk about your work. Always bring your latest photos, edited, with you on a USB drive. We'll discuss your News Events photos or Project Assignment photos.
I will make a schedule for our meetings. We'll have 5 meetings total. (These are very informal, it's just a chance to chat about your work)

Expectations:
Come to lectures and one-on-one meetings or reschedule if you can't make it. Meet deadlines for assignments. Please let me know if you are struggling with the assignments. I strive to be flexible and fair to all students.
