4Q ASSIGNMENT (B)

1B. Close ups: DUE 5-3-11

For this assignment you will be taking close up images of four different subjects that show us the object without showing the whole thing. Your goal for this assignment should be to show the viewer the elements of your subject, without showing them the entire subject. For example, if your subject is a truck, you would shoot a shot of the hood, the tire/rim, and the steering wheel. We should be able to tell that it is a truck, but you also want to make the viewer look closely at the images together to find out that it is a truck.

You must take photos (at least four – try for more to give yourself options) of a MINIMUM of FOUR different objects (more is good practice). When you are close up, the elements of composition still apply. Rule of thirds, balance, lighting, and you should fill up the frame. You will probably notice that only part of your photo is actually in focus. You need to be at least 4-6 inches away from your subject, and can use the zoom on the camera.

You will create a contact sheet of all your photos, and choose the best subject for final prints.

Your final product will be three close up images of a single subject that show us the object without showing the whole thing. The printed images will be 4 inches by 6 inches, either landscape (wide) or portrait (tall) orientation. Remember to make the resolution 300 pixels per inch.
