I didnt finish because I took to long to take pictures. You should plan out everything before you start taking photos. - Linh
ReplyDeleteOne problem I had was finding a symmetry picture so if you need help with i suggest looking it up. Also it would also help to ask Mr. Bonnici to help you figure some of the settings on the camera.

Make sure you start the first day and try and get the first part done as soon as you can, that way you can have more time to take all your pictures and have time to edit. My partner and I started late so we didn't get our work done so yeah get started the first day and stay on task.

Make sure you have took most of your pictures in the first 2 classes so you have lots of time to edit them and take "ghost" pictures. Also, do your best to be here because your partner needs you here to take some of the pictures -Brianna (:
ReplyDeleteMake sure you always come to school to get it done ~ Sb
ReplyDeleteLook back at your old photos in your phone, you might find something that applies to any of the rules. ~Angela
