I’m late getting this past week’s photo assignment posted because the files were on Amy’s computer and I just transferred them today. The assignment I gave my students this week was “fill the frame.” Another way to say it would be “get in close.” What I’m trying to get them to see is that too many times we just center our subject and they are often so tiny that they get lost in the frame. As always, I go out and do the assignment myself each week. The first shot (Sundrop Logo) was what came to my mind as I gave the assignment. After I took that shot (and others) I realized it’s harder to completely fill the frame than I had first thought. I continued to a local graveyard and was successful in getting my subject to fill the frame.


For this coming week I gave my student two assignments. The could choose which one they wanted to do, but for each of the two assignments they have to submit two pictures. For any who want to “play along” the assignments were 1. Take two shots of the same subject illustrating blurred action and stopped action. 2. Take two shots of the same subject illustrating a “bird’s eye” view and a “bugs eye” view. Let me know if you “play along.”
