40 Great Examples of Abstract Photography 

70 Great Examples




























For the abstract assignment I want you to throw out all of the "rules" we've discussed in class this semester. This is your chance to be as creative as possible. I would recommend looking for patterns, colors, and shapes when deciding on pictures to take. Also try to take pictures of things you don't normally see in pictures.

Digital Photo 1: Natural Shadow Homework Cancelled

You DO NOT need to shoot natural shadow pictures. Should the sun decide to make an appearance please grab a shot or too.

Grayscale Adjusted

Grayscale Adjustment Assignment

First, adjust all of your pictures into the various grayscale methods we have discussed in class. Start with the man-made shadow pictures you shot over the last couple of days. Next, work with the pattern photos.

Please turn in your best 20 pictures in a Contact Sheet called Grayscale Adjusted. Please make sure you have all adjustment methods and that you have an  equal amount of shadow and pattern pictures.

The adjustment methods: Basic Black and White (BBW), Calculations Method (Calc), Lightness Channel (LC), Ansel Adams(AA), Duotone (DUO), and Basic Channel Mixer (BCM).

Please save and name each picture with the appropriate adjustment method abbreviation (BBW or Calc etc.)





Finally, turn in your Best Grayscale picture as a .jpg file.

AP Photo: Shutter Speed Assignment

The Shutter Speed and Manual Exposure Assignment

For this assignment you will need to have 5 Photos taken at with a Slow Shutter Speed, and 5 photos taken with a Fast Shutter Speed.   

All ten photos will need to be properly exposed to receive full credit for each photo!!! Use your Exposure Meter before taking each pic to ensure that you’re within + or – 1 range of acceptable exposure.

The 5 Slow Shutter Speed photos should express an action or motion from an animate, or inanimate subject or object through the "tracer" or "blur" effects that occur at slower shutter speeds.  

AT LEAST ONE OF YOUR 5 SLOW SHUTTER SPEED PHOTOS SHOULD INCORPORATE ILLUMINANT LIGHT WITHIN A DARK SETTING. 

(Example: Cars at night on a freeway with a cityscape in the background. The car lights look like a river of red and white light.)

The 5 Fast Shutter Speed photos should "freeze" time in the middle of an action.

(Example: Having someone jump in midair. Their body should have NO blurry or tracer effect at all. It should be perfectly frozen in time and properly exposed.

Below are some things to think about when making your shutter speed photos more interesting:

• Always hone the exposure on your F/Stop to produce the best lighting and contrast 
• Really try to push the camera to the slowest or fastest shutter speeds available in your current lighting environment. 
• Get creative with camera angles, distances, and focal lengths from subjects or objects
• Get creative with the "Stop and Go Ghosting" actions at slow shutter speeds
• Detail + Speed + Faster Shutter = Awesome! (Example: Hair or water in fast motion, taken with a fast shutter speed will always look visually interesting.)

You will be turning these in on a contact sheet with 2 columns and 5 rows, labeling and identifying all of the "Slow" and the "Fast" shutter speed photos. Save it as a JPEG and turn it in as _shutter

Monday November 9th is an in-class shooting day.

All 10 photos are due by the end of class on Monday, November 16th.
