"Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst."  ― Henri Cartier-Bresson

 

Take a photo from at least 5 of the 10 categories below, name each file with the bulleted name and put it in the Shooting Assignment 1 Dropbox link above this lesson. Except for the black and white photo, these do not require special settings, so if you are not sure, just leave your camera on automatic and get the right angles or subject matter.

Reminder for Shooting Assignments - The 50 points you earn for shooting assignments is based on two criteria:

1. Did you fulfill the assignment instructions (if I ask for blue photos, are they blue?).

2. Did you turn in the required amount of photos.

Please turn in your ORIGINAL photos from the camera or phone. The metadata stored in the original file helps me score your submissions and establish your identity.
