Timeframe: September 22nd – October 31st
LTA – Long Term Assignment

Details: 10 Photos that capture Vermont during foliage (maybe Vermont’s finest season)

Vermont is beautiful this time of year. People pay good money just to come to the state and drive around looking at the changing colors, wander through quaint shops and reflect on small town life.

How lucky are we, we live here!

The goal of this assignment is simple. Capture Vermont during foliage. You will use your very best skills as a budding photographer to build a very nice portfolio of images that is unmistakably Vermont.
Example 1, Example2, Example 3

Requirements: 10 photos showing Vermont color & the following:

  1. Tree/s
  2. Farm, farm tools, farm equipment
  3. Landscape
  4. Macro (that’s a close up)
  5. Urban color
  6. Some kind of water (river, pond, lake, waterfall)
  7. A Sign or Only in Vermont kind of thing
  8. Your Choice 1
  9. Your Choice 2
  10. Your Choice 3

Google Doc – Description Contact Sheet: Every photo will have:

  1. Shot Description (landscape, urban color, choice 1)
  2. A unique Title
  3. Description that discusses the location or meaning behind the photo
  4. Metadata (like shutter, aperture, time)
  5. This is a great example and will earn you full points!

Organization & Deliverables:

  1. Description Contact Sheet (see above) – make with Google Docs
  2. Slideshow with 10 photos (all converted to jpegs) (your choice on publishing – there are many options and we’ll cover some options in class)

You have full access to tripods and the cameras. This is a long term assignment.

Do not keep cameras in your car or in an unsecured location. These are expensive pieces of equipment. Please take good care of them. If you ruin your camera, we do not have a backup for you.

Today, let’s create an organizational board with the project deliverables. We’ll can use Trello for this
