One of the things the great photographers do is they notice detail. The detail or the lack of it in a photo can change it from a so-so photo to a great one.
To help you learn to notice detail, you are going to take photos of the alphabet. No, not an alphabet that you cut out or draw, but one that you find in the details around you. These links give you examples of how different photographers have found letters of the alphabet in the world around them.
What you need to do is to find as many letters of the alphabet as you can that are as clear as possible. In other words, they should be obvious. Your photos:
- Should naturally be found in the environment around you. No rearranging lumber, leaves, or other things in order to create your letters.
- Should be in approximately their normal layout. You can't turn the photo upside down or sideways.
- Should involve only physical things. No live things like people or birds allowed.
- Should not actually be intended as letters, so no taking pictures of signs, worksheets, trophy plaques, etc.
- Should be unique. They should be photos that no one else took. They should be your unique angles alone. Just your shot. No one else's.
- That said, this assignment is an individual one.
When you have found your letters,
- in Big Huge Labs you're going to put them together in a collage in the Mosaic Maker.
- You should put the photos in alphabetical order.
- The collage should be 5 by 5, for 25 squares, which means if you're having trouble getting that last letter, it's okay.
- When you're done it, upload it to the appropriate folder.
Evaluation
- One mark per unique letter shot, up to 25.
