Introduction to Creative Media and some activities for you to try at home

24 Photo Challenge

For this challenge you will need to use what ever camera you have at home, whether that be a DSLR, your mobile phone camera or a compact to take a photo for each of the themes given in the graphic (left). As Ansel Adams said "The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it" so don't worry if your camera is not the best, this is more about your knowledge and creativity.

Try to think outside of the box when deciding what to photograph for each theme, there is no right answer. You may edit the photographs if you wish, but this is not necessary if you do not have the means to do so. Once you have finished a photograph, rename it with the theme title and keep it somewhere in your computer files or Google Drive ready to upload onto your Google Site during next month's project. Happy hunting!
