[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 321178, member: 11881"] [USER=12948]@Krs_2007[/USER] I sensed you were busting my chops or finding a nice way to tell me my photos suck :) Either way, my wife killed my last feeling so I have none to hurt. This class was actually student driven. They have been viewing my photos for quite some time and are always excited to see what I have shot at my latest shoot. So I figured I would help them to learn the basics about: 1. Get friendly with your instruction manual. Your camera will do all kinds of cool things you don't know about. 2. Why are you shooting what you're shooting and what do you want to accomplish with the image. Are you just showing me a beautiful flower or are you showing an image that maybe has a story to it. 3. Rule of thirds and knowing that rules are actually just a suggestion. 4. Show something in a different way so that it becomes interesting. That was our egg exercise earlier on my thread. 5. Shooting people. General do's and don'ts. 6. Editing images in Picasa (didn't want to cost the kids/parents any additional money). 7. Tomorrow we will discuss lighting. 8. On the last day of class we will be presenting all of the students with a professionally printed copy of their best edited photo. Trying to keep it simple, and fun, I am not getting into aperture, ISO, or shutter speed as the kids are shooting in auto anyway. Then to help the kids further along I set up a Wiki Classroom (actually the wife did it for me). The Wiki Classroom is a private invite only place the kids can post images and discuss photography. I set strict rules that discussion will ONLY be about photography or you will be removed. Second, when we signed the students up we signed the parents up too so they can see it all and monitor. Too many teachers get burned using Facebook or other social outlets that we took every precaution to keep our teacher butts safe. It's been fun and we have some of the students actively engaged. And on last Friday we (MoabLady/Man) made one little girls day. We gave her an older 6 megapixel dslr we had sitting around. Too often we all sit on things we know we won't use but can't bring ourselves to let go of until one day it deteriorates from age. For that reason we decided to give it to her and who knows, maybe one day she will be the next Krs_2007. :) [/QUOTE]
