Earth Day

For earth day,our comm tech class took photos.The photos we took didn't require to have a flash,because the light shining down from the window,worked.The light from the window makes pictures look light, nice and natural.Having the lights off for eath day,resembles that our school is trying to conserve energy.It also shows that we apreciate our earth by trying to create the feel that we are conserving energy.

Top ten Tips

Step 1: Get Down on their level.
