You can complete this activity as an individual or as a group. If you work as a group, you may insert your group photos and respond to them individually.
Aim to use A, P, TV or M mode for these photos, not auto. It will help you to capture lighting more deliberately.
Your activity is to create a series of at least 4 photos that show a local area (e.g. the lake, the LTC library, the school itself, Tuggeranong area, your bedroom or local suburb).
Consider which of the following you want to show in your images:
-The vibe of the place with or without people
-The passage of time
-An attitude that people have towards the place
Consider how lighting, colours and compositional tools can help to portray this
