Welcome 4th period Beginning Photography!  This blog will serve as our practice of the elements and principles of design and composition hints.  The recognition and application of these design concepts will greatly increase the quality of your photo compositions.  These photos can be taken with any digital camera and then uploaded.  We will review everyone's posts on Fridays in class.  Have fun!
