Your challenge is to go out on the High School campus and take photos of things that people don't usually notice, or have never seen. Take the opportunity to explore parts of the campus you haven't seen before--discover something interesting and document it through photographs. This is a shooting project, so an index print (24 exposures) is required along with a final image.

  Tilt/Shift Effect       The above photos were manipulated in Photoshop to make traditional photographs appear as if they were actually photographs of scale models or toys. The effect of real life, photographically turning into miniatures, is known as the Tilt/Shift effect. The Tilt/Shift Effect is a novel photographic effect that can be created using a camera with front lens "movements".  That means a camera where the lens can be tilted and or shifted relative to the film plane (" image sensor" on a digital camera) of the camera...usually the lens is perfectly parallel to the film plane. Lens movements are particularly useful in architectural photography where they can be used to correct the inherent  parallax of traditional lenses. Ex. of parallax corrected with a tilt/shift lens. The Tilt/Shift effect can also be created in Photoshop and there are many, many tutorials online that walk you through the process. For today's exercise, you...
