While this is not specifically directed to photography this is a great event for Photography Students to attend. You may get a better idea of how Photography fits into the industry and its a chance to meet people from other schools and see what they are doing. The Santa Fe University is AMAZING too and they have a great photography dept.

History assignment canceled. Class canceled. Work on the shutter speed assignment. Critique next thursday March 29.

Sill no word on the library schedule. :/ Will post as soon as I hear something.

So far, during finals week the lab will be open.

Monday and Tuesday 8:am – 3:pm. 

Still waiting to hear about the rest of the week. If you have work to do don't count on it being open the rest of the week. 

Next Assignment: Shutter Speed
We adjust shutter speed to not only to get a proper exposure but also to communicate motion to the viewer. By controlling our shutter speed fast or slow we demonstrate movement in different ways.

2 Photographs

Photo I: Freeze Motion. Demonstrate fast shutter speed by freezing a moving object (no, not a car (or truck, or motorcycle) unless they are doing something more interesting than driving down the road). You will need a lot of light for this.

Photo II: Blur the subject. By choosing a slower shutter speed while shooting a moving subject we can cause our subject to blur across the image. The trick here is to only blur the subject while keeping everything else in the image sharp and clear. (No shooting out the window of a moving car).
