Project #2

Using the Timer- Masking Identity

All digital cameras have a setting that lets you set a timer. When a timer is set, a picture is taken a few seconds after the shoot button is pressed. The timer setting is great for taking pictures of something that you (the photographer) want to be in. Another reason for using the timer is that it is good for taking pictures of something really close up or without a flash. If you are not holding the camera, the picture can focus more clearly! This is what the timer button looks like.

1. Brainstorm some ways of capturing pictures of yourself that mask your identity. Think of different ways of using props, graphic elements (editing), hands, etc.
2. Look at some examples on my Photoshop Express gallery. You can do this by going to http://dpsummer09.photoshop.com
3. Turn on your camera and look for a button that looks like the button above.
   
4. Push this button and choose to use a 10 second timer (or something around that).
   
5. Set your camera down and shoot.
   
6. After you have taken several photos with at least three different types of identity masking, upload your photos. If you forgot how to do this, refer to project #1 instructions.
