Just like in the second video, I want you to take an inanimate object (feel free to borrow one of my collectables or nifty items) and take some “good” photos by paying attention to things like your angle, the background, light, etc. You’ll upload your photo to Flickr and add a comment explaining what you were thinking/doing to make your shot great!
You’ll upload your photo to Flickr and drop off the original raw file in OneDrive. Do both for full marks!
There are 3 main types of cameras. Today I will ask you to tell me the difference between the 3 and the benefits/drawbacks of each. You may wish to make notes as we go along!
First, we’ll discuss the camera that we’re going to use, the DSLR. Here’s a spoler for you: it’s the highest quality one and can give you the best photographs.
(great video, available to public library card holders)
So how is this different from the camera that you likely already have in your pocket (or… on your desk, because you couldn’t possibly put it away for a while…)?
(smartphone & point and shoot – available to public library card holders)
So, each type of camera has its benefits and its drawbacks. Your job is to tell me when/why/how you’d use each one.
What is the difference between DSLR, point and shoot, and smartphone cameras? What are the benefits & drawbacks of each?
Post a comment below with your explanation of each type (3).
Today I would like you to go on Flickr and explore photos. Explain what you like about 3 different photos. Not the content (yeah, that flower is beautiful) but what did the photographer do to make that photo amazing?
Below this post you should post a comment where you provide a link to the photos you choose and then EXPLAIN what you like about the photo – what did the photographer have to do or think about in order to make that photo so great?
Post a response as a comment attached to this post. You will need to include a link to the photo and you will need to EXPLAIN what the photographer DID to make it a great photo.
