We have a new Chicken, His name is Boy George....LOL

We are lucky to have received a "boy" version of our George, a silkie chicken. Just in case you did not know our George is actually a girl, so appropriately we name the new silkie chicken Boy George.  Please welcome Boy George next time you are out at the farm.....

Photography

This week we will explore two topics in photography

1. First we will create a "Multi Me" shot as an introduction lesson.

The student will be placed in a canvas shot multiple times and all of the images will be then compressed into one image.The final image shall be placed on the students blog page.

Example:

2. The student will shoot 8 different types of photo shots. The class will be given time to take shots around campus. The students will use the camera on their phone for the shots. Should a student not have a camera on their phone Mr. Connor has a couple of iPads that can be used for the lesson.

alternative reference:

Please note that after this lesson anytime you become the photographer for the class during a period one of each type of photo will be required of you to be taken.

Some fun Video Editing.....
