Final Thoughts! Remember to: SHOOT AND SHOOT MORE OFTEN! Even professional photographers do not take perfect photos all the time. If you get ONE or TWO good photos out of every 24 or 36 you shoot you have done an EXCELLENT JOB! Think OUTSIDE the box & be creative.

Your assignment Take photographs showing how EACH of the 4 lighting directions can be applied. Show at least 3 successful and at least 7 unsuccessful for each. Place each good photo on a slide by itself, but you may place 2 bad photos per slide, if you wish. All must be clearly labeled by concept and successful or unsuccessful. Blurry does not count as unsuccessful. Write one paragraph for EACH of the directions in which you define the concept, explain how you investigated it, and conclude with your discoveries about it. Paragraphs should have an opening sentence, 3 sentences describing your three points, and a closing sentence stating your final conclusion. 100 points
