Today we are investigating photography techniques in order to make sure we can take great pictures for the Yearbook. We are preparing for our first all-school event this Friday.
Before Friday you will need to book a slot with the camera to take pictures of Field Day activities. You can book your time with the camera through this Google Sheet.
Today, in pairs you will spend some time with Mr. Arthur to learn how to use the school camera. When you are not working with Mr. Arthur, you will be investigating photography techniques and your smartphone, if you have one.
Firstly,
Read this post about using your cellphone to take Yearbook pictures. Play with your own phone to see if you can get the right camera settings. Take some pictures.
Secondly,
Learn about the following photography techniques by looking them up online. Once you think you have a good idea about the techniques take some pictures while consciously using the individual techniques.
Rule of Thirds
Camera Angles (get down low, shoot straight up, kneel down, twist the camera, exaggerate features)
Framing the shot (photo composition)
Make sure you have some photos that are in the advised photo resolution that show examples of each of these photography techniques. When you have the pictures, write a blogpost detailing each of the techniques using your own photos to illustrate them.
This is due on Monday, September 14th.
