MOTION assignment #3 and #4

Using SHUTTER PRIORITY Means your shutter stays the same while your aperture moves (opens up or closes down) to get the proper exposure. Sometimes seen as "Tv" on a camera.

Jacques Henri Lartigue Received his first camera when he was 6. His family had money and could buy him all the cameras and supplies he needed. He photographed everyday life.

For the WWII war photographers stopping motion or capturing motion with a cautious blur was important to capture the action of what was happening in each image. Capturing Motion Raising the Iwo Jima Flag, 1945 by Joe Rosenthal

Henri Cartier-Bresson The Decisive Moment The father of modern journalism and street photography Founded MAGNUM (along with Robert Capa) - a cooperative picture agency owned by its members which supported photography in the service of humanity, and provided arresting, widely viewed images. (Photojournalism)

"To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organization of forms which give that event its proper expression." ~ Cartier-Bresson

Your assignment is to somehow capture motion and/or time on a 36 exposure roll of film.

Time Exposure

Bracket your shots - use multiple exposures to "try things out". If you are still having trouble metering and getting proper exposures (which is evident by your negatives) - see me. Figure out if you need a slow or fast shutter speed and change your aperture accordingly - don't take the picture unless the camera "tells you it's ok". METER! Be adventurous - change your perspective, angle or view. Work with a friend - try to schedule time to shoot outside of class. Make sure you use a tripod for time exposures or have your camera stay still somehow (table tops). The longer your exposure, the more likely you will get camera blur. Try to "shoot from the hip" to get unusual compositions and effects
