Prompt 2: 3-day weekend!

Who doesn’t love a 3-day weekend?

Whatever your doing this weekend — whether it’s hanging around campus, heading to an athletic event, going home to see family, participating in MLK Day activities — capture some highlights that explain an aspect of your weekend in 4-5 photos! Here are the guidelines:

Include at least two medium shots showcasing action, drama, expression and/or unusualness
Include at least one long shot that sets the environment for what you are shooting
Include at least one close-up shot that displays detail

If you need a refresher on the different types of shots, check out the PPT on Canvas.

Post your photos on the blog and be sure to include a caption with each photo. Your post should be completed by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 17.

Have a great weekend and see you Wednesday at noon.
