Alternate Assignments:

Cropping 5-n-1 - Take an existing file and crop to create 5 variations on the composition. Focus is on re-framing and composing. Not compositing. 

Composite - 1 in 5 - Create an image file from the components or pieces of minimum 5 image files. Create multiple variations on the composition at will.

Bokeh- Create a series of like images of the same subject with various lenses @ largest to smallest aperture bracketed to test bokeh results for all.

Flare / Glare - Create a series of images exploring the selective use of glare /flare with alternate light sources (*sunlight, streetlights (sodium vapor), car lights(halogen).

Tilt Shift - Create a series of landscape images exploring tilt shift or the post focus effect simulating tilt shift. (an optical system (such as a camera) when the lens plane is not parallel to the image plane produces an effect of selective focus. Originally developed to correct for converging parallel lines in aerial photography.

At the edges of light and shadow - Create a series of images exploring the contrast at edges between shadow and light. Experiment with exposure latitude, extremes between 10 and 2 with direct natural light.

Captioned - Submit 3 images with a brief textual description. Explore the challenges of describing an image to someone with a visual impairement or someone lacking visual acess to the image.
