Ansel Adams and Aperture

Yesterday was Ansel Adams' birthday. We are using one of my photos that reminds me of an Ansel Adams photo, especially when converted to black and white. I am sending a larger file to your group leaders so that you can complete this assignment.

1. Use Aperture and create a Black and White image.

2. Resize it to 440 pixels wide by 660 pixels tall

3. Make the photo 100 dpi

4. Create a text watermark and add to the photo. Since I took the photo, the watermark should read something similar to "copyright Bryan Farley."

5. Send to resized Black and White photo to my school email. Title the email, Period 2 (or 3), Happy Belated Birthday, Ansel Adams


Oh, two more things...

First, I should list a learning objective here, but I forgot.
Secondly, and probably more important (to me), I neglected to tell you how grateful I am to be your teacher. Even during the moments when I am sarcastic (and rude) and tell you that it is not my job to teach but my job to have you learn. I love being your teacher. You are an amazing group of students.

Only Slightly Surprisingly Quiz

Artists find inspiration from many places. Photographers copy other photographers. Musicians "cover" other artists' songs. Sometimes musicians choose their band's name from a song by one of their favorite bands.




For example, the band Girl In A Coma chose their name from The Smiths' song "Girlfriend in a Coma." (Our new student requested a Smiths' song yesterday.)

We are using one of my Girl In A Coma images for our quiz today. My students may use this image for the assignment and resize it. Currently, the image is a rectangle. It is also large and print ready. You will edit.

1. Use Aperture and create a square image.

2. Resize it to 600 pixels by 600 pixels

3. Make the photo 100 dpi

4. Create your own watermark and add to the photo.

5. Send to me in an email. Title the email, Square Web Ready Quiz
