Learning to see with your camera:
===In the beginning of the course students are asked to take series of photos using a variety of compositional techniques and subjects. Examples(5 for each) of the rule of thirds, multiple points of view, leading line, framing, reflections, shadows and portraits are placed in separate folders in the drop folder under their name on our school server. Here are some examples from each category.===
