PHOTOJOURNALISM - February 12, 2010

Click on the link below and take the quiz over Chapters 5 and 6. The questions come from the assignments from Wednesday and Thursday. (You may have to copy and paste the URL into the browser.) Hit submit when you are finished. In the "Name" field, please put your last name, then first name.

After you have finished the quiz, search the Internet for images that show concepts covered in Chapters 5 and 6. In other words, find photos that look as if they were taken in the early morning or mid-day light, find photos that were obviously taken with a telephoto lens and with a wide-angle lens, etc. Find at least five good examples, save them in your 4th six weeks photos folder, naming them according to the concept they depict (ie: midday light.jpg, telephoto.jpg).

Have a safe weekend! See you Monday!
