INTRODUCTION:
In this course you will plan and respond to outdoor conditions to capture and produce high-quality outdoor
images. You will be required to use a variety of lens, and creative settings on your camera. Your photographs must include
a variety of lighting conditions, compositions, and creative applications. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO
CAPTURE AND THEN MANIPULATE A MINIMUM OF 15 PHOTOGRAPHS USING THE TECHNIQUES DESCRIBED IN THIS STUDENT
LEARNING GUIDE. Each photograph must be composed using the elements of composition. NO SNAPSHOTS. You must keep a
log sheet as you take your photographs. In addition, each photograph must be accompanied by a write-up explaining what
technique, tool, filter, etc., was used. This write-up should be kept as-you-go on your Image Manipulation Log Sheet (see
page 10). The information contained on both log sheets will be used as part of your peer/teacher critique or assessment.

ENTRY-LEVEL COMPETENCIES: What you need to know and be able to do to succeed in this course.
The prerequisite for this course is Com 1005 and Com 1205. However, to maximize the learning experience for this course
you should have passed the INTRODUCTION TO PHOTOGRAPHY course (Com 1005, 1205, 1215, 2205). You must understand
the basic rules of composition such as the rule of thirds/ nine zone grid, golden triangle, position and weighting, negative
space, dynamics, emphasis and balance, etc. You must be willing to spend some time at home (after school) taking
photographs. THIS IS NOT AN OPTION. In order to meet the requirements for the course you must take your camera home
and take a variety of outdoor photographs which incorporate different lighting conditions; e.g., morning light, evening
light, artificial light at night, etc.

One problem that is often encountered with outdoor photography is overexposure of one
part or element of the photograph, and underexposure of another. This often occurs
because of bright skies and dark shadows from trees and other objects. A great way to
overcome this problem is to bracket your shots by setting your camera to Auto Exposure
Bracketing or AEB on most cameras. When set on AEB the camera changes the shutter
speed or aperture automatically and brackets the exposure + 3 or more stops usually in
1/3-stop increments for three successive shots. If the drive mode on your camera is set to
single you must press the shutter release button three times. On most cameras if the drive
mode is set to continuous, you only need to hold down the shutter button and the camera
will take the three bracketed shots in sequence: Standard, decreased
exposure, and increased exposure. Some cameras will
turn off the AEB automatically when the camera is
turned off. Others, however, require the AEB to be
turned off manually. Check with your teacher if unsure.
This assignment will be in color.
USE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO COMPLETE THIS
ASSIGNMENT:
1) Find the AEB setting on your camera and
experiment with the settings in the classroom
until you have a good understanding.

ASSIGNMENT #10 (MANAGE IMAGES-ORGANIZE YOUR FILES AND FOLDERS AND MAKE INDEX/PROOF SHEETS)
When downloading your acquired images dont let the computer tell you what to do. Create a folder and file system
that keeps your images dated and/or categorized for easy location later. If your school has the software available to
make index/proof sheets of your images you should do that now. Making index/proof sheets expedites locating
images, selecting images to be used or discarded. See your teacher to determine what is required.
