During the spring semester of 2008, Miss Stahler and her high school class began to learn how to take a good photograph. First, we studied a slide show to find the most common mistakes photographers make (i.e. over and under exposure, blurry action pictures, etc.) Second, we learned 6 main categories to think about when taking a picture. They are:
1. Composition – use of lines, focus, zoon, rule of two-thirds.
2. Light – light source, temperature, flash, time of day.
3. Color – use of color, light, emotion, black and white.
4. Landscape – composition, framing, zoom, perspective, foreground, proportions.
5. People – light, lens, portrait, children, flash.
6. Being ready – motor drive, vantage point, shutter lag, preparation.
Each week the students would bring in their digital camera and we would learn a new part of the outline and then practice taking a picture using the topic of the day. Here are some pictures from our end of the year slide show. Enjoy.
