Fun With Shadows

These are DJ's photos for his fun with shadows lesson, for 4H. We actually took another set too, that will be shared later when they have been downloaded. This was a fun activity. They were taken on Wednesday October 27th and the weather was warm and cloudy. One of his goals was to try to keep his shadow out of the picture while taking the shadow picture. He discovered this was not as easy as he thought. Also moving targets, such as the dog, were not very easy either.

This is part two of DJ's photo class on using natural lighting. The assignment was to take the same shot in front of a bright window at set times of day, then review how the lighting was different. Her are his pictures and times. As you can see the light gets more intense depending on the time of the day, and the position of the window in your home.

Photography Class 2

Today was week two of DJ's 4H photography lessons. We are keeping an online photo journal on this blog. The goal of this lesson was learning to hold your camera still for clear crisp pictures. Plus to have an item centered and not centered. He also took a few extra shots just for fun. As you can see part of the lesson was taking shots at an angle to make the tree look as if it was tipping over. He needed one tall shot, and one wide shot as well. if you look you will see the squirrel in the tree, and fire ants on their mound. At the end of the year the pictures he needs for his lesson book will be printed, labeled and turned in.
