Island Bay School was abuzz with excitement last Friday as our Freedom Friday programs got started for Term One! Every Friday afternoon our children make their way to their chosen activity and wrap up a busy week doing something that they really enjoy. I am working with 10 very able up & coming photographers and we are learning all about Digital Photography.
For our first session we talked about the purpose of photography, and took a look at the many different ways in which photography is used. We looked at documentary photography, advertising, we analysed why we take photos of friends and family, and we discussed the important role that photography plays in preserving our past.
We then went on to learn how to operate and drive our digital cameras, and went out into the field to experiment, get comfortable with changing settings, trying out different creative features, and chasing the perfect shot! You will see some examples of our work above which include images taken using fisheye, toy camera, monochrome, and super vivid special features. I can't wait until next Friday!
