Assignment 2b: Texture is your Shot
Update: Sunday, May 6, 2007: I’m extending the deadline for this
project another week, as I spent the last one preparing for and
shooting the Air and Sea Show.
Seeing as how my last little assignment didn’t pan out quite as I wanted it to we move to assignment 2b. Yes, b, as in backup. Or as my handy manual for stuff says.
Plan C: Always have another plan. See: Plan D.
Yes, so does that make this plan b or d? I don’t know but if you’re not confused yet, you should be.

| Objectives | Abstract texture and lighting |
| Assignment | Photograph some texture, it could be a rock, a sheet of crinkled paper, a board or anything else. The catch is you have to light it in such a way as to bring out the texture. |
| Constraints: | Texture, nothing else. |
| Deliverables: | A shot of something textured |
No you wont be using that good ole on camera flash for this one folks. You’re gonna need to get creative to figure your lighting out if you don’t have a flash you can take off camera. Things to think about: The sun at dawn/dusk, a desk lamp, a mirror.
Something else to think about, color can dramatically affect your output, you may not want to balance for a neutral white on this one.
