Assignment #22 – Different Perspectives

All of us at Muench Workshops would like to thank you for your participation in our assignments so far this year! We hope that you’ve had some fun and found inspiration in each other’s images. We certainly have.

There are many different ways to photograph a scene. Your point of view, the positioning of your camera, and even your focal point can all have a dramatic impact on the scene that you decided to capture.

In this week’s assignment, we want you to think about photographing the same scene in both a vertical and horizontal format. You would be surprised how many landscape images look great shot vertical and how many portraits (people) look amazing taken horizontally.

You may find yourself having to reposition yourself to get the composition that you want with either format. So give it a try while you are out taking your photos for the assignment. What this exercise will accomplish is the following:

  1. This will slow you down and force you to study more of the scene.
  2. You will learn that there are many ways to capture the same scene.
  3. There may be more than one focal point that you may not have originally noticed.

After you have created your two images, upload both in your post on our Muench University Facebook page. Our pros will be waiting to offer helpful commentary, and we also encourage you to leave comments on each other’s images.

Assignment #27 – Memories

This week rather than shooting new images, let’s highlight some of the magic places we’ve experienced along the way and that we hope to return to soon. Whether you traveled around the world, or down the street for your image, please give us a comment on what makes the image–and the place–special for you.

Assignment #6 – Motion

When you capture motion in an image you capture so much more. You capture energy and emotion. You can make your subject stand out against the background, or convey a sense of time passing.

Assignment #29 – Low-Key Images

This week’s photography assignment is low-key photos. Low-key photography is a genre of photography where natural or artificial light is emphasized only in specific areas in the frame. The remaining part of the frame is dark.
