Turn in your Flyer, & Posters from Last week! on Teams!

We need to work on getting the Clubs complete!

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Clubs: Info and images amuck!

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Clubs and extracurricular activities are what make up the student life section. These activities create memories while keeping students busy and happy. They are a MUST in our yearbook!

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: Today we will practice taking GROUP photos in interesting situations!

Taking Group Photos!

Each of you have chosen a club to cover!

When you meet with the club, get a feel for where you would like to take the photo.

Let's contact your club adviser!

7 photography tips for shooting with big groups

Be confident.

Arrange people in a staggered formation.

Keep the group close together.

Make sure people's faces aren't covered.

Be strategic about lighting.

Shoot a sequence of photos.

Let your subjects have fun!

SETTINGS!

Group photos are great examples of NOT wanting a shallow Depth of Field (DOF)

Probably around a f8 is where we should begin!

SHUTTER SPEED

Use a fast shutter speed. Remember not everyone will be still!

At least 1/60 of a second...try 1/100 or faster!

AIMING!

Aim for the middle... (or the front depending on 2 rows!)

But pay attention to what is behind the subjects. This photo has a student back there!

FOCAL PLANE!

Notice the curve?

Its not an extreme curve. As groups ge large the ends tend to be out of focus. We adjust this by curing our focus and bringing the subject inward

COMPOSITION/POSING

We will be using a wide angle lens. So composition is IMPORTANT!

Position people at angles, not just shoulder to shoulder. Have fun!

Take a funny photo (we might use it!)

Look around, is anything distracting?

Remember to BACK UP...you can crop it later!

And encourage them to be creative! We don't have to stick with the same ol' boring group photos!

Remember to look at the composition as a whole. Is it balanced? What would it look like on the page?

Now let's check your email!

Did you receive a reply?

Remember to reply ALL if you did! Be polite!

It is YOUR job to check your email regularly to look for a reply!

Follow up after a few days even if you don't get a response!

You will be responsible for your Club page, Photos, Information and taking the Group photo!

Let's cull some photos and get ready to make some layouts!

Look for the SPREAD you are assigned! Go to Teams and Cull the photos. Copy ones you like to that folders FAVORITES folder!

In the Teams Photo Folder, if your event has photos you can start to look through them and copy them to the FAVORITES FOLDER (within that folder).

Each FAVORITES Folder needs about 20-30 photos in it to choose from.

Also, try looking for photos with a interesting person shot that can be cut out!

PLEASE DO NOT DELETE ANY PHOTOS!
