A PHOTO Scavenger HUNT
Below are three photo assignments. There are also links to help explain photo term definitions and sample to help the students work through the assignment. If you want to share photos with me for critique, please share them on Google Docs. I can also come in and help critique and do a power point on photo.
ASSIGNMENT 1 ___ 1-5 photos of campus that sets the mood of the school year NOT the campus itself but the objects and areas that depict the life of a student. Use rule of thirds, (keeping the center of focus out of the center of the frame) ___ 1-5 photos of students working on computers. Use interesting angles, and vary distance, make sure lighting is good and pictures are in focus. LINK TO SAMPLES http://www.shutterstock.com/s/%22interesting+angle%22/search.html
