Make/Create
Take A Photo
1. Go into your camera app on your phone.
2. Make sure that your App is on automatic settings (it should be already)
3. Point the camera at your subject. Snap a picture!
4. Try taking a picture with your subject 1/3 from the edge. This is the rule of thirds. See below how the woman and child are positioned so they are at the third markers.
5. Try taking your photo again but this time with your main source of light either behind you (most light) or to either side of the subject you are shooting. This will light your subject differently.
6. Congratulations! you have taken three photos!
Reflect/Evaluate
What could I have done differently to obtain a different mood of photo?
