Message: <blockquote data-quote="Horoscope Fish" data-source="post: 123148" data-attributes="member: 13090">I'm taking a digital photography class at the local college and we've been given what is, for me, a tough assignment. I'm all good with the technical aspects of photography but weak on the creative, expressive side (the main reason for taking the class). I'm hoping maybe someone here can give me some suggestions on subjects or that maybe just talking about this to other photographers will help get my creative juices flowing. Please feel free to chime in with anything you have.  I'm doing well in the class but this is sending my brain into full "vapor lock".Here's the text of the assignment, my comment in [brackets]:Light and Texture Subject Matter:Shoot the subject/s of your choice but choose ones that have strong textures and a real sense of its depth and space. Use natural light only; no man-made fill or lighting set-ups. Give this some thought, you’ll want to scope out the subjects in advance, determining the shot and what you want to convey in it as well as planning the proper time to shoot.  Note the sun's track and how it will appear at various times. Procedure:Shoot a MINIMUM of 40 RAW images. [When he says this he means he’s going to want to see contact sheets with those 40 images, so it’s not a “suggestion”, and they had better be relatively acceptable shots at that. If he thinks you’re shooting “trash” just meet the minimum requirement, you'll be looking at a re-shoot.] Select your best 2 shots, process them in RFC (Raw File Converter) and make an 8.5"x11" color or B&W print from each. Trim borders and mount on 11x14" cream or gray mount board. Be prepared to discuss what you sought to portray in the shots, how you metered and exposed each, how it was printed, and how you used these techniques to best express your intent. Composition counts heavily.------------------------------------------------------------Thanks in advance!</blockquote>
