Information and the Assignment for our January 28 meeting given by D.B. Stovall
The Assignment
One of the primary characteristics of my work is using light and how it plays on what I am imaging. In order for that to work the way I want it to, I oftentimes will go out and identify what I want to image and then plan on where I want the light to fall. I use sun angle tables to determine the best time of day to capture the image and return when I can capture it the way I want.
This all requires planning and the capability to visualize how an image will appear. The assignment is to go out without your camera and identify scenes that you want to shoot. Figure out how you want the shadows to appear to sculpt the subject the way you want to see in the final image. Make a rough sketch if that will help. Use sun angle tables (tips and tools will be provided at the meeting) to place the sun where you want it, return at the appropriate time on a different day and make the image. In the furtherance of deliberateness use a tripod to carefully place the camera to match the visualization.
For the judging briefly explain how you saw it originally and how you visualized it in the final and what you did to make it so.
