November 15th

Today we will be starting our unit on digital photography. We will start by looking at photography rule #1: The rule of thirds.

(after presentation) 

You are going to practise using the rule of thirds by CROPPING photos and improving their composition.
1. Click on each thumbnail to download the full size version of each photo.
2. Use iPhoto to crop each photo in TWO DIFFERENT WAYS using the rule of thirds. BE  SURE TO USE THE THUMBNAIL VERSION OF THIS!
3. Upload your finished photos to your blog with the title "Rule of Thirds".

Once you have finished cropping the above photos, find 2 great example of the rule of thirds using Google Image search and post them to your blog.  Please explain why the photos follow the rule of thirds. For better quality photos, go to advanced search-and change the image size to a min of 1024 x 768. Instead of searching "rule of thirds" trying looking up Ansel Adams or National Geographic for some great examples of photos. 

If you are done all of the above, make sure that you do the reflection from Thursday's blog about your responses to your survey.
