LINK:More on Composition

Review Assignments 1,2,3. ( see post below) Make sure snow shots are artistic and are landscape or macro....I will accept one or two shots with people as the main focal point but focus on the artistic quality of the shot.

At this level, it is assumed that all shots are clearly focused, not pixilated, and follow rules of composition...this will be especially important if you are shooting using your camera phones. Make sure your camera settings are set to the highest quality and at the largest size, BUT NOT IN RAW.

Assignment #4: Shoot an object/subject from 4 different angles. Exaggerate the angles so as to change the effect of the photo. 5 marks Post to Flickr in an album.
