Assignment Overview

Take a minimum of two photos of your 3D Test Print. Take one from a 3/4 angle that shows a good representation of the form. Take the other from a composition of your choice. This could show some detail of the print. Make sure the print is in focus. Using a camera from the checkout with a zoom feature will help. Use good lighting and shoot in JPG and RAW so you can edit and post process your images.

White balance should be corrected  and the levels should be adjusted to have good exposure. Use PhotoShop and Adobe Camera Raw  to make adjustments and to retouch any mistakes in the images.

Use Backdrop and Lights in the Classroom

You can set up lights and a clean backdrop. You can check out lights and a camera from the CIA equipment checkout. A backdrop is setup in the classroom for your use. Make sure to be careful with the shared resource. Do not leave marks on the paper or leave a mess.
