Mr. B’s ProTips for a successful project:

Define Roles – some participants might have multiple
File Management – how to handle
Daily Scrum (what are you working on, what do you need, what’s next)
Preview work together
Agree on when the project is complete

Time Remaining: You begin today, 40 minutes on Tuesday

Deadline Date – October 20th

How will your group divide up the work?

Who is your Scrum Master?
Who will create the Trello Board?
What are all of the To-Do items?
Is watching the final edit a to-do item?- I think so!

Being an effective group member means you have to participate. The best way to participate is to share what you like to work on and what you are good at (or comfortable with).

10:50 Morning Break (10 minutes)

11:00 Photography – Manual Mode

We are going to do some camera work outside in Manual mode. Manual allows us to control Aperture, Shutter and ISO. We have decisions to make when taking pictures – this is the creative part. No matter what, we want to have properly exposed images that are in focus.

New Photo Assignment: Street Photography

At the core, Street/Documentary Photography is spontaneous and captures activity as it is happening. Unscripted and interesting. Emotions, action, interesting camera angles.

Shoot lots of images for this assignment. Select your favorite 5. and delete the rest. Capture the activity around you. Street Photography is unscripted! Have your camera ready. Take a trip into your town. You’ve got a week, plan well. Maybe you can get your Urban photo for the Long Term assignment while you are at it. 30 – 60 minutes in your town or in Burlington should give you enough for this assignment. Maybe there is a farmer’s market in your town, concert on a green, apple orchard to visit – capture spontaneous moments – it’s the core of this assignment

You may want to play around with tones like B&W, sepia and / or do some selective editing or masking.

Create a five slide presentation with your images on Black or white backgrounds
Include Metadata(aperture, shutter speed, ISO)
