Project #2

Night Photography / Long Exposure

For this assignment you will be required to create 6 photographs that experiment with shooting at night or with long exposures of 1 second or longer.

Consider how you can use movement and light to create ephemeral presences in your photographs, or document the surreal ways in which both natural and artificial light illuminate our night landscape.

A tripod will be helpful for this assignment but not necessary. (Tripods are available for check-out.)

  

This may be a great assignment to experiment with the “bulb” setting on your camera. If you do not have a “bulb” option on your camera but are interested in working with that you can always check out one of the digital rebels to work with if you would like to.

Artists to look at for inspiration: Todd Hido, Beau Comeaux, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Michael Wesley, Tokihiro Sato

DUE: October 7, 2014

By the due date,  post your photographs to your blog and bring in your 6 photographs in class to project and turn in.
