Merger Photo Preview

1) I can see in the photo that one of the images of the girl does not include a shadow. The sun might pose to be a problem when shooting a merger photo.
2) I think it would be great to take a merger photo at the picnic tables near the portables.
3) I think it would be interesting to have my subject sitting at different benches and doing different things in my merger photo.
4) I think it would help to wear mutual colored clothing so nothing stands out too much. I feel like it would be harder to get the images to combine.

HDR Photography



1) Use auto-exposure bracketing if possible, If not, just use a tripod.
2) We will need a DSLR camera and a tripod to take an HDR image.
3) Someone might take an HDR image at night, in order to better represent a dark subject. Mainly, HDR images are taken when a photograph has a humongous range of contrast: too much for one image to handle.
4) Once we merge the images together, we might expect to see new light on our image. HDR photos make our brights brighter and our darks darker, So we can expect to see a much more intense photograph.

Final Exam Planning

1) I will shoot this assignment beginning May 8th, as soon as I can get my hands on a camera.
2) I will shoot mostly in downtown austin, but also including my neighborhood, and the trip to downtown.
3) My story will be about my weekend day, beginning with my family, and usually ending at one of my friend's houses or at a show.
4) The only equipment I will need is a DSLR camera capable of shooting video.
5) I plan for my narration to be in the beginning, using it as an introduction. Then I plan to play my video throughout the entire project, and insert still images where they are appropriate.
