Exploring Camera Techniques

You will be taking your own photos where you will explore some camera techniques. In preparation for  taking your own photos, look over the videos/links below on camera shots and techniques.

In Google Drive (using Google Docs) create a document and write a few lines for each video describing how or why each camera technique is important or how/when you could use it. Make sure to share the assignment with your teacher (allancarterspace@gmail.com).
