Farley Gleeful Photography Mashup

I think I have a visual dyslexia that allows me to mix up images and words. Sometimes, this dyslexia works against me, but other times I find ways to enjoy the mashup. On my Photo 1 blog, I have added fun photos taken by Photo 1 students and some Advanced Photo students.

Today, June 2, Andrea Banales took a photo of me and Photo 1 student Dejanai Strassner. Below, students from third period played photography.

The ROAR photo was taken on June 4th.

Dejanai photographed me on June 4 with Brad Paisely. Say Paisely!

Last week, I introduced my students to using a white board as a reflector.

During Bryan Farley's Advanced Photography class, Bryan Farley points to a seem in the wall of a picture of Bryan Farley. In the original photo, Bryan Farley taught his Photo 1 class how to use a blank wall as a seamless background. Photo by Christina - Advanced Photography class, Period 2

Unity Project - Belonging or Fitting In

The Advanced Photo classes started this project early in the second semester. The project was bigger than we expected. As often happens for those who create, some projects must be put aside until the right time. The two Advanced Photo classed decided to move this project to the end of the year.


It is now the end of the year. You can read the post from earlier this year here.

You may include photos from the first part of the project to complete the project. You are to take about 150-200 photos. If you took photos last time, include those photos in your total count. Edit the final number to 15-20.

Website Update

We are nearing the end of the school year. Our final exam will resemble the semester final. Return to your website (not your blog) and improve the portfolio of your best photos.

• Your portfolio will have from 7-10 of your best photographs.
• Your portfolio should be easily found on your website.
• Select your best photograph as your first photograph on your portfolio.
• Ask at least two people to review your portfolio.

Send the website link to me directly. You may also add your link to this post's comment section.

Quiz - Digital Photography

Participation Grade and Performance Grade. You receive two different grades for this quiz.

Each group will choose a photo for the quiz. Each person will edit and submit a photo for this quiz. However, group members are encouraged to work together. Students will be graded on their ability to work together and to export photos using Aperture. Students are not assessed on whether the photo is "good or bad."

Choose a photo taken by a group member in the last month with a width or height at least 1024 wide or tall. The photo should also be at least 72 dpi.

1. Share the photo to the group by email and cc me.

2. Using the metadata tab in Aperture, include the information about f-stop, shutter speed, ISO and date the photo was taken. Send this information along with your edited photo.

3. Edit the photo in Aperture. If you are in Period 2, edit your photo so that it is 500 pixels wide by 400 pixels tall. If you are in Period 3, edit your photo so that it becomes 600 pixels wide by 400 pixels tall. (You will probably need to crop the photo.)

4. When you export, export the version at 500 (or 600) pixels wide by 400 pixels tall/high with a dpi of 100. Set the image quality at 12.

5. Name the photo, Period 2 or 3 - your name.

6. Send the photo to my work email, cc my bryanfarley2020 at gmail address, along with the other metadata. Please title the subject, "Period 2 or 3 Quiz - Your Name"

If you have questions, please ask your group members first and then ask me. You are encouraged to participate with your group.

What a Difference a Day Makes

Yesterday will become an important day in sports history. Finally, the Los Angeles Clippers were national news! I do not know if there were any important images from yesterday, but there have been important sports photographs in history.

Here is Sports Illustrated list of the 100 Greatest Sports Photographs of All Time.
