Welcome to the wonderful world of photography! Photography is a great way to create art, convey a message or preserve memories. When taking pictures it is important to follow the composition guidelines to create quality images. Refer to the file attached for some of the composition guidelines we have discussed in class.

Remember - all photographs for class assignments should not have people in them, unless the people are in the far distance. If we have time, we will work on portrait photography.
