Chilly photo taking

Continuing to practice different types of photos, today we worked on a few more techniques.  For every shot making sure we think about what is in the background, what setting our cameras were on, lighting and so forth.  To begin the day we went outside (as it was slightly warmer today than it had been this week, but still chilly).  Action shots were first on the list today.  Luckily we had Lucky to help us out with some of those.

 Taking action shots with the pup was hard for some of our young photographers as he wanted to play with everyone.  Here Angela Jones is running away from the little guy (photo by Jacqui Graham).

Meghan Cleveland took a good shot of Lucky and Jacqui playing.

Here Sydney Cleveland caught Marita Tunutmoak in a great action shot.












After running outside for a bit, we all got cold and went back into the building to practice our picture of picture shots and warm up. For part of our photo essays we are going to take picture that demonstrate life in the past.  One way we are going to do this is to look at the visual resources that already exist, such as photos in books, digital photos of artifacts, and 3D digital models.

Here we have Meghan and Sydney looking at photos on the iPad.

 Marita is trying different

angles for her picture of picture shots.

This is Angela Jones' Picture of a picture shot.  Some of our young artists in the drawing workshops took some selfies, of which Angela then took a picture of on the computer (technology...pictures...technology...pictures)

 After we were thoroughly warmed, we traveled outside again to work on landscape photos.  It was a clear day today which meant that we could get some great pictures of the mountains outside of Quinhagak.


Tenaya and Angela looked toward the mountains...

While Gwen included Tenaya in her landscape. 

Here we have Tenaya Tunutmoak's shot.

And here is one that Gwendaline Thomas took (without Tenaya in it).

Once again chilled, we ventured inside to finish up the day with panorama shots. 

It is really cool that our cameras have a panorama setting on them, so we don't have to stitch them together ourselves, but we learned it can be a bit hard as you need to move the camera at a steady pace and not wiggle.

Marita Tunutmoak caught a took a good one.  She even managed to get Angela Jones in it without her moving.  Good job!
