Using a Disposable
Camera -
Photography Honor |
|
| You can teach or earn the photography
honor with a simple disposable camera with a simple flash--total
cost of about $15, including developing cost! How? Well
let's review the "active" requirements for the
Photography Honor |
 |
5. Take print or slide pictures
illustrating at least eight of the following techniques. Use comparison pictures
for illustration.
| |
a.
Framing
b. Camera steadiness
c. Direction of lighting-front, side, or backlighting
d. Panning-background blurred with subject in focus
e. Rule of thirds
f. Angle-eye level, high and low angle
g. Level horizon
h. Distance from subject-fill the frame
i. Use of leading lines
j. Quality of light-shade, sunlight, and time of day
k. Correct exposure-underexposed overexposed, and correctly exposed
l. Use flash-proper distance and reflective objects |
The Photography AY Honor requirement requires
that the person earning the honor demonstrate 8 of the 12 catagories,
both what is "correct" and "incorrect."
Disposable cameras are "set" at
250/th of a second exposure, and that the minimum focal length
(distance from the subject) is
usually 3-4 feet.
This means that demonstrating Incorrect Camera Steadiness (b.),
Demonstrating Panning (d.), and showing underexposed and overexposed
photos (k.) will be difficult or impossible.
However, that leaves us 9, yes nine, options!
Okay, lets start with Framing & Camera
Steadiness. |
