(PHOTOGRAPHS #1 THROUGH #15 STUDENT DIRECTED PHOTOGRAPHS)
You will start working with RAW files. Remember that RAW files are significantly large due to their nature.. When composing your photographs keep in mind that each should have correct composition. In other words, don’t take snap shots and remember: “garbage in, garbage out.” Delete obviously bad images (out of focus, incorrect exposure, etc.) as they occur. This will free up space on your camera’s memory card so you’ll have the capacity to capture the great shots you want. The sky is the limit when composing photographs for this course. Your photographs could be indoors, outdoors, night shots, close-ups, long shots, people, pets, landscapes, nature, storms, still life, sunsets, sunrises, etc. USE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO COMPLETE THIS ASSIGNMENT:
Assignment #3 (Image Manipulation)
To receive credit for this course 15 of the following editing tools, techniques, procedures, processes, etc. must be applied to at least one photograph. This is just a minimum. You are encouraged to experiment and discover as many editing tools, techniques, procedures, processes, etc. that you can.
1 Sharpening (RAW and/or Photoshop)
2 Lens correction (RAW and/or Photoshop)
3 Use camera calibration (profiles) (RAW)
4 Dodging
5 Burning
6 Temperature adjustment
7 Colour management
8 Lighting-White balance
9 Brightness
10 Contrast adjustment
11 Masks (Clipping, vector, B/W, etc.)
12 Rotate and image
13 Straighten an image or horizon
14 Frame and Crop
15 Stitch photographs (panorama)
16 Create a black-and-white photograph (from a colour original)
17 Create a distressed/aged photograph
18 Fix a backlit photograph (Using your camera exposure compensation, software, HDR, etc.)
19 Apply batch correction (File>Automate)
20 Vignetting
On your website clearly identify which photo has which manipulation done to it.

- Set your camera to the correct image-recording quality (file size) as mentioned previously.
- Set your camera to the appropriate shooting mode. (Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, etc.)
- Set the ISO as required. (If unsure use the Auto ISO.)
- Remember to bracket your shots as required.
- Compose your photograph and take the shot.
- Check for focus, desired depth of field, etc.
- Check your histogram and metadata.
