Landscape Photography | Photo II
The goal of this project was to produce two black and white landscape panoramics that show the use of multiple images. It needed to demonstrate a creative approach to the assignment; expand on the basic requirements; address a fairly complex visual or conceptual idea; and effectively communicate with the viewer.
Purpose
The purpose is to know how to take proper and effective landscape panorama prints and then evenly tone them using the zone system.
Instructions
The instructions are the following:
• The zone system must be evident in your imagery. No high contrast or low contrast images. The entire range of black and white tones must be represented in your photographs. Underneath your images, you will have the zone system guide that you made in class underneath the photograph.
• Using the info palette and line shape tool you will map out where each of the tones are in your image.
• Do not use automatic settings. Digital cameras record the camera settings in the file metadata, so if you use auto exposure, the camera will reveal it.
• Point reductions for out of focus images, improperly exposed images, not shooting in RAW, and not shooting in Manual mode.
• Use your Imagination, be creative, and think about your lighting and skies.
