Week 4, Shadows and Light

Digital I students, please take a look at this Google Images search I did on the topic for this week.

Look at the series with an eye to what is do-able for you.  many B and W images here... a natural for the project.  Here is one assignment where you need a sunny day... notice that with long shadows, the sun is near setting (or rising)...













From the assignment for Week 4:

Shadows take on a materiality that is just as strong as the architectural elements depicted, perhaps stronger. Use the widest focal length setting on your lens. Look for shadows as geometric form this week. Start around your home, downtown, or anywhere your travels take you. Look down, look up, fill the frame.
Light reflecting directly off water can be interesting... throw in dramatic clouds...perhaps at sunset... convert to black and white...

Chairs, railings, your back deck, light streaming in through windows casting shadows.... shadows made by people walking downtown...
