How do I...Annotate a contact sheet?

Handouts
Use the guides and handouts that I provide, these will give you guidance on how to achieve the best results.

Once you have been and taken your shots from your planned photo shoot you will have a large number of photos, some of which will be effective and some wont. You need to explain to the viewer your thoughts via a print out of your photos, using a contact sheet.

 

Use the following as a guide on what to write:

 

Your Opinions

Circle or highlight your favourite photographs on your contact sheet

Cross or highlight your least favourite photographs

On your circled and crossed photos explain why you have identified these as the best / worst

 

Crop Lines

Draw on to your contact sheet to show where you would like to crop your subject matter/composition

 

Techniques

Note down any composition rules, effects and lighting methods used in your images

 

Camera Settings  

Using the right click and get info method find out the shutter speed, F stop, ISO, white balance... Note these next to your thumbnails and say why these settings were used and evaluate the success
