It has been a busy few weeks! I have not had a chance to update the blog much as we have been pasting our pictures elsewhere! Our bulletin board in the hallway makes me smile each time I walk by it! It is so exciting to see such fantabulous photos so early in the year!
The Spotlight on Learning wall has been VERY well reviewed by staff members, parents and students! I am continuously impressed with the natural talent, effort and enthusiasm our young photographers bring forth each Tuesday morning.
The past few weeks we have worked on several aspects of photography. Some of the highlights include:
Perspective-Who KNEW that kids would find it incredibly funny to pinch someone's head in a photo! HA!
Depth of Field- This has been a big hit. I was afraid students wouldn't understand the concept that the depth of field is the amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus in a photograph. BUT they did.
Framing- We discussed natural framing. Using windows, trees, leaves, people, you name it to frame in the photo.
Rule of Thirds- This refers to an imaginary grid drawn across a photo area that breaks the image into nine equal squares. The best focal point for subjects is at the intersection of these lines with secondary emphasis being seen along the lines themselves. This was another worry that the students would not understand the concept that things do NOT have to be centered. BUT THEY DID!
Here are some fun photos from the last few weeks....
