Step Of the Day

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.

When taking a picture of someone, hold the camera at the person's eye level to unleash the power of those magnetic gazes

Step 2: Use a Plain Backround.

A plain background shows off the subject you are photographing.

Step 3:Use flash outdoors.

When taking people pictures on sunny days, turn your flash on to avoid shadows on the face

Step4:Move In Close.

Up close you can reveal telling details, like a sprinkle of freckles or an arched eyebrow.

Bring your picture to life by simply moving your subject away from the middle of your picture.

Step6:Lock the Focus.

If your subject is not in the center of the picture, you need to lock the focus to create a sharp

Step7:Know your flash's range.

For many cameras, the maximum flash range is less than fifteen feet—about five steps away.

Step8:Watch the light.

Next to the subject, the most important part of every picture is the light. It affects the appearance of everything you photograph. On a great-grandmother, bright sunlight from the side can enhance wrinkles.

Step9:Take some vertical pictures.

sorts of things look better in a vertical picture. From a lighthouse near a cliff to the Eiffel Tower to your four-year-old niece jumping in a puddle.

Step10:Be a picture director.

Take control of your picture-taking and watch your pictures dramatically improve.

The Things I Learned Today:
I learned how to do a landscape.In landscaping,I learned how to place a photo into a text.The text that I used in landscaping is Arial Black.Arial Black makes the font stand out and the font is nice and neat.To move the image in the font,you use the directselection tool.The direct selection tool let's you move the image to wherever you desire.I also learned that once you do that,the text is no longer editable.
