Yearbook Photography Portfolio Project

Procedures:  You will be assigned the use of the Yearbook Camera for 2 complete days this quarter. The calendar of assigned photographs is on the back including Make Up days if you are absent on your assigned day.  You will get the camera during 2nd period on your assigned day.  You MUST return the camera to me either at the end of the day or during 2nd period the next day. If you have the camera on a Friday, I ask that you return at the end of the day, so I can charge the batteries over the weekend.  The day you return the camera, you will load the pictures off the memory card into your personal folder on the My Book external hard drive. I will show you how to do this.  If you use your own camera, you still must load the pictures off the memory card into your folder the day after your assigned photography day.  Failure to load your pictures on the assigned day or to return the camera will result in a 10% point deduction from your final grade.  You will be responsible in selecting the pictures in your folder that you want to count for your required photographs and for printing them according to the instructions I will give you on Monday, November 30th  You will be graded according to the rubric on the back.  If you have a jump drive, you might want to bring it to class with you on Monday, November 30th
