Summer School Photography class learned to paint with light today by adjusting camera settings. We had to black out a room, slow down shutter speed, use a tripod, and adjust other settings as necessary. This is also helpful when photographing fireworks and the night sky.

Just a few photos were taken today while we toured the historical Rice Upshaw House near Dalton, AR. After we finished there, we headed to Pocahontas to the park for lunch and the water park for the afternoon. I think the kids had a fun Friday.

Googly eyes project-giving personality to everyday objects-to start our Monday morning. This was so much fun and the students put together some really good ones. Disclaimer- we all LOVE Dolly, and she is always photographed so perfectly, so when one of the students put crazy eyes on her cardboard cutout we just had to keep it.

The photo on the left was taken with "Auto" settings, to take the photo on the right the camera was manually set to allow for the movement in the water-the shutter being left open longer. It required the camera to be positioned on a tripod so nothing else in the image would blur due to camera shake. We practiced how to take this photo ahead of time using a water faucet.

Today we adjusted Shutter Speed & ISO to "freeze" the water without it blurring in the photo. This is also going to help these students take better pictures of things in motion that they don't want blurred, this is especially helpful for us in sports photography. We captured some pretty good images, but we do want to try this assignment again with larger balloons to attempt to capture the balloon mid burst.

Summer school kicked off this week. The 7th and 8th graders are having a lot of fun while they become entrepreneurs. These students are all getting ready to present their inventions and innovations to "The Shark Tank". Today, most of them were working on their prototypes and recipes for their products. They will be creating business names, slogans, advertisements and will do a presentation to try and get the sharks to invest in their businesses.

We spent the morning learning about the Exposure Triangle: Shutter Speed, ISO & Aperture. After lunch we set up an assignment to practice manually adjusting settings instead of using auto to choose our depth of field, manually changing F-Stop/Aperture settings to adjust focus depth.
