Assignment: Storyboards Nov. 25 - Dec. 9

[Saralonde]

Storyboards. Try to tell a photographic "story" in 3 images. Your story should have a beginning, middle, and end. It need not be elaborate, no fancy plot lines, simple is fine. It should not need any explanation. If you feel you need a written explanation, then you're not getting your story across in a visual way..

To set up your storyboard, check out Big Huge Labs. They have something called a Mosaic Maker. Choose "Square Tile Layout" and choose 1 column 3 rows or 3 columns 1 row. Now plug in your shots. If you have a similar way of presenting your storyboard, that's okay, too.

If you are entering the mini-contest this week, please make sure all 3 of your pictures were taken during the time frame. Also, a more general version of EXIF (camera and lenses used) will be fine this week as all 3 pictures may be different, but include as much as you can.

Well, this is not much of a story, but it stars ME, LOL.



As always, rules:
Please note the change in closing time.

Just a note to new posters: DO NOT start a new thread for your post. Please just hit the reply button at the bottom of any current post and put your image there.

1. Your original image you submit should be taken between the 25th of November and the 9th of December. Each week as an assignment closes on the Wednesday, it will be AUTOMATICALLY deemed *CLOSED* after 8am GMT ( 3am EST) and any posts after that time will not be eligible for the assignment competition. Don't wait until the last minute to post!

2. Your post must include "Assignment: Storyboard " (to show your permission to count it for the contest) and the date the picture was taken (to show that it is a valid entry).

3. EXIF data should be intact. It helps if you can include the main points (including camera, lens, date taken, ISO, shutter speed and aperture) in the text of your message.

4. Only one entry per member (if you can't restrain yourself until the end of the first week you can post two or three separate pictures but your entry should be in a separate post and the only marked with the text above). It must be an original image taken by you.

5. Remember the cross-site image size limit (800px on the longest side).

6. If the image does not exist in post at the end of the contest, it is disqualified. If you modify anything on flickr and re-save the image then the link is broken and the message needs edited to link the picture again before it will be included in the contest.
For everyone, please do not repeat other people's photos by quoting them until the contest is over. If you want to comment on or discuss an entry you can use a link to it (or just delete the picture from the quoted text).

7. If you are looking for the winners of the mini-contest, please check the front page of the DPS blog Saturday late afternoon (EST) and here.

Technology. It is all around us and effects almost everything we do. Your next assignment, if you choose to accept it, (sorry, always wanted to say that) is to use technology as your subject. Consider how it effects your life, your job, the lives of others. What do you see as you drive to work or travel? What is inside your home or office?

As always, it is not enough to just take a snapshot. Think about angles, point of view. How are you going to make this interesting to the viewer?

Great storyboard and the look on the child's face is PRICELESS! Not sure if that is a smile or a "You should have known better", smirk. Either way, I got a chuckle out of it, Thanks!

Just thought I would give this mosaic thing a try. Captured these back in August. Really needed 4 to make it work.

This week will be tricky for me to take a picture for the assignment, but I thought it would still be appropriate to share this one:



It was taken July of last year and tells the story on how I brighten up the start of my day - or should I say: how I jump-start my day?

This one isn't eligible because I made it months ago, but thought I'd share it anyway. I had to blow up the balloon for her because, try as she might, she couldn't get it going.

Lost the exif data when I made it into the storyboard, unfortunately, but here's what I can remember:
