Advice

 

1. Pay close attention to rate information, style of business, and make sure you market the correct message.   Remember, they are trying to sell GOLF, and CORPORATE golf outings.  This should look very professional.
2. Check out their website: www.blackberryridgegolf.com
3. Keep the document as a Photoshop file until further notice.
4. KEEP IT SIMPLE.  Remember it is about attracting people to a place of fun, leisure, and of course, GOLF.
5. Don't be afraid to do some research.   Call them up if you need to.... 320-257-golf(4653)
6. Don't forget the bare bones essentials like contact information, location (map?...), course info, rates, etc.   People like reliable information.
7. Have some fun! - this is a competition.  Winners receive $15 Itunes cards/each and some free large prints....

 March 16th, 2009. 

 

Use the class period to do the following:

 

1.  Finish uploading macro photos; if you cannot get on the server, have a buddy sign on for you.
2.  Check out www.toddwilliamsusa.com  and  the flash fill photos I took recently here.  Your next photos will be of silhouette and flash fill.  Both shots set up the same, but the settings on the camera are different.
3. Google "flash fill techniques" and take some mental notes
4. Start a notebook for this class - first journal entry:  think up and write down 4 scenarios to cover flash fill and silhouette shots in the next two days.  Where, when, and how will you take these shots?  Each journal entry will be worth 30 points.

 

• Flash Fill & Silhouette photos will be due on Wednesday the 18th - you will have the class period to upload and edit
• If you need a camera, you will need to stop by Monday after school or come in on Tuesday.

 

My advice for you:

 

Flash Fill (2 shots min.)

• light source directly behind subject - make sure the sun is nearly or completely blocked by the subject
• turn flash on
• outdoor shots work best
• late afternoon and evening
• don't limit yourself to people - use just about anything to photograph

 

Silhouette (2 shots min.)  

 

• light source directly behind subject
• faster shutter speed  (at least 60, preferably 200-500 depending on light conditions)
• silhouette should have edges that are sharp and in focus
• everything within the silhouette should  be nearly black.
• some examples I've done... Weimer's Silhouettes

 

Oh, and btw.... check out my shots from spring break:  Weimer's Trip to Utah
