Obsah kurzu

The photographic exercise will take place in Prague or, due to the pandemic, in your home town. Each student will choose one location, which they will study theoretically in advance, and try to deduce what influenced the location or building when it was built and what are the possible historical links. They will try to select appropriate shots, time of shooting and other influences such as season by using Google maps and subsequent personal visits to the site. He will then consult his plan, including preview photographs taken with any digital camera.

Specific assignment:

Exercise option A: „bridges“. Students will choose one of the bridges, which they will then process during the semester to capture the best possible shots given the stage of vegetation and the height of the sun. A digital camera or medium format classic is recommended

Exercise Option B. „Landscaping“. Students will choose a Prague or other garden and try to capture the connection between the special garden architecture and the landscape of the garden, emphasizing their meaning and overall appeal.

A digital camera or medium format classic is recommended

Submitted: 3 photographs in the form of an A3 print or black and white enlargement

Judged:

Appropriateness of the shot, choice of lighting for the characteristics of the building, appropriate choice of lens focal point and perfectly executed shot including accurate alignment of perpendiculars, integration into surrounding buildings where appropriate.
