4-H Photography Tips & Tricks
4-H Photography Tips & Tricks
Photography is a fun and creative way to capture the world around you, and the best part is you don’t need a fancy camera to get started—your smartphone is enough!
This workshop and scavenger hunt is designed to help you practice the basics of photography while keeping it easy and interactive. As you complete each challenge, you’ll explore how lighting, composition, focus, and simple editing can completely change the look of your photos. By the end, you’ll have a collection of practice shots and a better understanding of how to take clear, eye-catching pictures with just your phone.
