Welcome to our class blog! Here you can find out what we are working on, ask me questions and from time to time I'll ask you to post blogs of your own.
The first "lesson" I want to emphasize about photography is the art of observing and researching. Photography is all about what you see and then using the tools you have to realize your vision.
When you have a chance I want you to check out some photography websites and start to get a feel for the type of shots we want to take as photojournalists. Photojournalists take photos that tell a story.
Here are some links to check out: (Remember to look at the angles, the light, the composition, the distance from photographer to subject and what the photographer chose to capture.)
