During the course of 2 class periods, students will go out to take 50 pictures of anything they want following the guidelines given. These photos will then be used at the end of the semester to show their progress in the course. Students will select their 10 best photos to turn in. Students will take some photos with a device and some with Adobe Lightroom. Students will learn how to import their photos into the Mac, how to create a contact sheet, and explore how to take photos in Lightroom.
Day 1 Photos
Day 1 - Take 25 photos around the school that you think are good photos
*Use your camera on your phone or one provided - do not use any apps to take photos other than the camera app
*Return to class after 25 images have been taken or after 30 minutes.
*Students should take their own photos and no two student photos should be the same
*Use the Edit button on phone to crop/adjust the image as necessary- do not use any filters
*If you use a class camera, you can edit in Photos on the mac if needed
*When all 25 have been edited, airdrop to the computer or connect to the computer with USB cord to import images.
*Create your first contact sheet and save.
*Turn in to Day 1 Contact Sheet
​
Before we start for Day 2, students are to download Adobe Lightroom to their devices.
​
Lightroom is an Adobe app that can be used on Devices, Computers, and on the Web. On your device, it has a camera installed that gives a little more function than your basic device camera. It also allows more editing options than your device's photo app does.
We will use this app from time to time in the course. One reason to use the app is the photos taken on your device can sync to your account. This way, you can use any lightroom platform to access the images without loading to drive or airdropping.
To Install: On device app store, look for Adobe Lightroom and install. Next, use your Adobe Account to log in
