  3. Today's Lesson: Photography

    1. Today, Mr. Smith will have a camera for each of you to use.
      1. To take a photo, first hold the camera in BOTH hands. This helps to steady the camera.
      2. Make sure your feet are a shoulder's width apart. This helps to steady YOU while you steady the camera.
      3. Use the LCD panel to see where the camera is pointed. Find something interesting to photograph. That will be your subject, or focal point.
      4. Have the camera focus on your subject by pushing the shutter partway down. You may see the image shift slightly.
      5. Press the shutter button all the way down to take the photo.
        1. You may have to wait for the screen to turn black and then light back up again. DON'T MOVE THE CAMERA until it's done.
        2. When pressing the shutter button, be careful not to push the whole camera down. You'll end up taking a picture of something else!
      6. We're going to take a lot of photos and look over them later. Don't spend all of your time looking at the photos now, that means you aren't taking more photos!
      7. Cameras tend to have timers that turn them off if you aren't using them. If your camera turns off, Mr. Smith will know you weren't taking photos.
  • This is an IN-CLASS assignment, NOT HOMEWORK. Please stay on task to complete this work by the end of class!
