Last week for our Photo J assignment

Last week we had a photojournalism assignment and so we went to Meramec's Library to simulate an event. The students did a great job of finding a variety of camera positions and using their camera's zoom.

The Electronic Flash


This week is all about the flash. Doc Edgerton invented it and we use it on our cameras without really knowing much about it. Here is a sample from class using the slow sync mode to give a motion effect. Here is a link to a great web site with lots of tutorials on electronic flash.http://www.dcviews.com/tutors-t.htm?tt54213
