how to import images

IMPORTING IMAGES

1. Connect your camera or card reader to the computer (see the documentation for the device, if necessary).
2. In Adobe Bridge, choose File > Get Photos From Camera.
(Mac OS) You can configure Adobe Bridge to automatically open Photo Downloader when a camera is connected to the computer. Choose Adobe Bridge CS4 > Preferences. In the Behavior area of the General panel, select When A Camera Is Connected, Launch Adobe Photo Downloader. Then, click OK.
3. In the Adobe Bridge CS4 Photo Downloader window, choose the name of the camera or card reader from the Get Photos From menu.
If you click Advanced Dialog, thumbnail images of every photo on your camera’s memory card appear.
4. To remove a photo from the import batch, click Advanced Dialog, and click the box below the photo thumbnail to deselect it.
5. To change the default folder location, click the Browse button (Windows) or the Choose button (Mac OS) next to Location, and specify a new location.
6. To store the photos in their own folder, select Create Subfolder(s), and then select one of the following:
o Today’s Date creates a subfolder named with the current date.
o Shot Date creates a subfolder named with the date and time you shot the photo.
o Custom Name creates a subfolder using the name you type.
7. To rename the files as you import them, choose an option from the Rename Files menu. All the photos in the import batch share the same name, and each photo has a unique number attached at the end. To preserve the camera’s original filename in XMP metadata for later reference, check Preserve Current Filename In XMP.
8. To open Adobe Bridge after you import photos, select Open Adobe Bridge.
9. To convert Camera Raw files to DNG as you import them, select Convert To DNG.
10. To delete the original photos from your camera or card reader after they’re downloaded, select Delete Original Files.
11. To save copies of photos as you import them, select Save Copies To and specify a location.
12. (Optional) To apply metadata, click the Advanced Dialog button. Then, type information in the Creator and Copyright text boxes, or choose a metadata template from the Template To Use menu.
13. Click Get Photos. The photos appear in Adobe Bridge.

Night Photography

Assignment 1
Painting with Light: Night Photography:
With inspiration from Fourth of July Special: Paint Your Photos with Sparklers! See blog link
Shoot 100 images. Large JPEG is OK. You will edit to your best 4 images.

For the Assignment
DSLR camera or point-and-shoot camera
Flashlight
Tripod
Friends or Objects (1 or more)
Off-camera flash (optional)


Create beautiful and provocative long exposures using the B setting. Use an alternative light source to add information to your exposure. This is an experimental assignment so take your time. Making mistakes is the best way to learn. Do not delete any of your images. Recognition will be given for original ideas.

• Drawing, outlining, highlighting
• Play with your settings from F-stop to ISO.
• Try glow sticks or sparklers.
• Writing letters in the air will result in backwards words, but this can be fixed by simply flipping the image horizontally. Having your subjects wear black so they disappear into the scene.
Suggestion from photojojo.com

“If you are planning to use flash, you’ll want to keep your shutter speed shorter at about 8 seconds. If you are using the built-in flash on your camera, set it to “rear flash.” This means your flash will pop at the end of the exposure instead of the beginning.
Let your friend know to be ready at the end of 8 seconds, so that they can hit their pose!
If you are using an off-camera flash you won’t need to set “rear flash” because you’ll be manually firing it. Again, give your friend a heads up when you do!”
