Photography Workshop - Wednesday Morning [6/7]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica was sitting on the desk in the front of the journalism room, sipping a cup of coffee and waiting for her students to arrive.

She noticed that Cameron's bruises appeared to be fading, but her eyes widened when Bel walked in, limping slightly and bruised. That was definitely a cause for concern, but as the others filed in, she realized she had other things to take care of first.

"Good morning," she greeted everyone. "We're going to head straight in to the darkroom this morning, so no coffee or pastries yet."



After they were done in the darkroom, she gave them a few minute break to wash their hands and get food if they desired.

"Today we're going to talk about the composition of photos," she said, giving them a handout that explained the Rule of Thirds in detail. She gave a brief and *handwavy* lecture about the subject.

"I have a few things to tell you about that aren't on the syllabus," Veronica told them. "First, Anakin Skywalker, who's teaching a Flight & Flying seminar, and I, have arranged a field trip for our workshops to Washington, DC next Sunday. It's an all day thing, we'll be leaving the island early in the morning and returning late in the evening. It's not required that you attend, but it will give you an opportunity to take photos of more than just Fandom."

She smiled and started passing out another handout with *handwavy* submission guidelines. "Additionally, there is going to be a Student Art Fair next Friday and I'd like you to all keep that in mind this week as you're taking photos because I'd like you all to submit something. It can be a photo you've taken already or something you take this week. And it doesn't need to be a photo based on one of the prompts. Your list for this week is: Berries, Bird, and Air. You can spend the rest of the workshop time brainstorming ideas for either those or the Art Fair. If you have any questions, let me know."

She paused, biting her lip for a brief moment, before adding, "Bel, please stay after class."



[ooc: watch for submission guidelines for the art fair to be posted by the admins. it's not a requirement for your character to submit something, but it could be fun. likewise, the field trip is not a requirement, but please comment here and let me know if you're going or not by Friday.]

Cameron signs in. He's got a cup of coffee and might be looking very shifty.

Zack started developing this weeks photos (http://pics.livejournal.com/twohalvesofaphd/gallery/0000cdkd).

Veronica chuckled at one of Zack's photos. "That certainly constitutes joy for the majority of students here," she said. "Myself included."

Bel worked on developing his pictures of Tree, Water and Joy.

Re: Darkroom [6/7]

Veronica totally "awwed" at Bel's picture of joy. "That's very nice."

Re: Darkroom [6/7]

Jaye's working on her photos. There's tree, several to choose from for water ("water" being a relative term when it rains pudding and there's coffee in the pond), and joy is a very clear picture of the 'Shirtlessness Encouraged' sign on the front of her door. What?

Re: Darkroom [6/7]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica is not surprised that Jaye's joy involves shirtlessness. "Now that's what I mean by thinking outside the box," she says, indicating the 'water' pictures. "Only in this town."

Nadia carefully mixed the chemicals and started developing her pictures for tree and water, which was a picture of a wine glass filled with water lit by a candle on the table of what appeared to be a fancy restaurant, though there were power tools in the background.

When she got to the ones for joy she worked extra carefully. She wanted to make sure these came out.

"That's an interesting photo," Veronica remarked, pointing at the 'water' photo. "Good composition."

And then she squeed a tiny bit at the pictures of Pip-the-Gosling.

Elizabeth carefully developed her photos for joy (http://pics.livejournal.com/notcalledlizzie/pic/0000bgb5), tree (http://pics.livejournal.com/notcalledlizzie/pic/0000ct29) and water (http://pics.livejournal.com/notcalledlizzie/pic/0000dbcd).

Re: Darkroom [6/7]

Veronica smiled. "That's a rather unique interpretation of tree. Good job."

Lecture [6/7]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Questions about the Rule of Thirds?

Re: Lecture [6/7]

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia read through the hand-out and raised her hand. "So, do photographers carry around little grid things to look through when they line up a shot, or something?"

Re: Lecture [6/7]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"No," Veronica said. "It's just something you develop an eye for. If you want to see how you're doing, make some extra copies of some of your photos and mark them off."

Brainstorming [6/7]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Berries, Bird, and Air.

Think outside the box.

Re: Brainstorming [6/7]

[demonbelthazor]

Bel may have snickered about an idea for "bird."

Talk to Veronica [6/7]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Do I need to explain this one?

Re: Talk to Veronica [6/7]

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

As everyone moved into the dark room, Cameron went up to Veronica.

"You know, it's really hard to bribe your good will when you've already got coffee," he said, motioning towards her cup with the one he was going to offer her.

Re: Talk to Veronica [6/7]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"And why exactly do you feel the need to bribe my good will?" Veronica asked.

"What happened?"

Re: After everyone else leaves [locked to Bel] - NFB

[demonbelthazor]

"What do you mean?" Bel said evasively.
