HOW TO MAKE A FILMSTRIP IN PHOTOSHOP:
1) Open all files at once by going to File > Scripts > Load Files Into Stack. Select the files you want and open them.
2) Go to Image > Image Size. Take note of the width x height of your images (in pixels!).
3) Multiply the width number by 6.
4) Go to Image > Canvas Size. Change the width to whatever number you got in step 3. Be sure that the height and width aren't linked (you only want the width to increase, not the height.)
5) One by one, drag your layers to the proper spot (left to right).
6) Time to re-size this image, now that it's 6x bigger than we need. Go back to Image > Image Size and change the width to the original number you saw in step 2.
7) Save as a .jpg!

VIDEO TUTORIAL: CONTROLLING FLASH MODES ON THE NIKON D3300
You need to know how to control your flash power, though, and so flash compensation is one of the important features covered in this short video. You must know how to do this!

Fill Flash Assignment
Your task is to use the on-camera flash on your Nikon D5000 as a fill flash in a series of before-and-after images.
*** USE FLASH COMPENSATION AS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE PROPER EXPOSURE! ***
CAMERA SETTINGS
- Raise the flash (seriously, don't forget!)
- Shoot in A or M mode
- Use Flash Compensation liberally. You might not need full blast!
SHOT LIST
Since fill flash is most widely used in portraiture, we're going to stick with that for this project. All images are to be portraits of a person or people. No candids, please.
Submit FOUR images for this project. At least one should be indoor (backlit against window, for example). Compose your shots so that they are backlit. The purpose of fill flash in this case is to match the strong light coming from the back.
