Creating Media - Digital photography.

We have been learning how to use a digital device e.g. iPad to take photographs. 
 

We first learnt about how to take a good photograph. These are the steps you need to follow. 
 

1) Hold the device firm without shaking, use two hands. - Khadijah 

2) Point the camera at what you are taking a picture of - Ali 

3) When you are taking the picture, look at the screen, so you know what you are taking a picture of. - Jaxon

4) Move the device, if you can’t see the whole thing in the screen - Alfie 

5) Press the capture button - Heidi

Once we learnt how to take a picture, we then went around the school and played photography bingo, where we had to take pictures of different things. Below are pictures captured by Year 2.

Creating media - Digital Photography - What makes a good photograph? 
 

During this lesson we learnt about what makes a good photograph. 
 

In order to take a good photograph you must make sure: 

- ‘You position the device so you can see the whole object.’ - Millie 

- ‘Make sure you have included the main object in your frame.’ - Jaxon 

- ‘Stand close or far from the object, depending on what you are taking a picture of.’ - Alfie 

We then worked in pairs to take photographs of: 

- A classroom display

- A view out of the classroom window 

- A group of pencils
