Using the digital camera and/or Photoshop, you are to create a still image that records a specific motion event, with an emphasis on information and illustration. Your image should read as photographic in nature, but may or not take the form of a conventional pictorial depiction (ie., it may read as "abstract" as long as it is still informative.)

Choose a subject for which the record of motion will be new and interesting - that is, something so elusive as to be rarely captured, so banal as to be overlooked, or even so shocking as to be irresistible.

Convey as much information about your chosen movement as possible. This information, however, should be portrayed economically. Only use information that helps us understand the movement.

You may use any technique you can devise for this project - part of the project is the problem of representation. Your choice of method is as important as your choice of subject. Here are a couple conventional methods you may employ:

1. Use a digital still camera and tripod, leaving the shutter open long enough to record multiple positions of the subject.
2. Use a digital still camera and tripod, taking multiple shots and superimposing them in Photoshop.

For Thursday, bring in several different photographic ways of documenting your chosen subject. We'll go over Photoshop to turn them into your desired final output.

Camera tips:

• manuals are available at the checkout window
• try resetting the settings if you're having trouble - go to MENU, then scroll down to C and click right to reset
• for multi 16 mode (the grid) - set camera first to Single mode, then change picture size to FULL (no icon) make sure your shutter speed is moderate (around 1/125) then set to multi 16. you can make adjustments to shutter speed from there.
• try a lot of different shutter speeds with the same subject matter to see which light setting is best
