REQUIREMENTS FOR SHOOTING:

- Choose whatever subject you like- person, place, object, etc... (see ideas below)

- Shoot 2 different scenes, with a MINIMUM OF 40+ PHOTOS FOR EACH. (80 TOTAL)  More is always better.

- ZOOM IN and shoot CLOSE UP shots of different fragments of your subject.

- Shoot the entire scene, try shooting a whole row across the top of your subject, then shoot a whole row below that, then below that, etc until you know you've covered you're whole subject.

- Each shot should OVERLAP the next, so that you don't have any gaps in your final piece.

- Don't move from where you are standing during the entire time you are shooting.  Keep your zoom the same as well.  

- Try tilting your camera left or right as you shoot to get interesting angles.
