Digital Photography

With the advent of the digital camera, taking photos has gotten much easier. No longer do we need to wait to see what "develops". Our next project will involve learning the basics to taking good photos. For this project you will need to:

1. Find five examples of great photos (make sure each photo is a different type)
2. Take and submit the following:

• portait
• candid
• landscape (on campus)
• creative (your choice)

Here are a few links to get you started:
