360 Degrees This assignment is a great beginning exercise meant to loosen up your shooting techniques. Choose an object at least as large as a car You should be able to walk around the entire object. Now shoot a minimum of 20 images of this object. Get down low, hold your camera up high, move in close, back up, change lenses (if applicable), and play with investigating this object in as many different ways possible, including shooting it at different times of the day. The purpose of this assignment is to get you moving in directions you would not normally seek out. Work on making each image different and unique. Push yourself to really look for different views.

Create 4-8 photographs that demonstrate the difference the Rule of Thirds can make in your photographic composition. You should photograph your subject centered (basically a "happy snap") and then recompose the subject by placing the critical focal point on the third. Be prepared to discuss your photos and compositional decisions during class.
