Post Photos Below:
I chose this photo because I enjoyed catching a glimpse of a tiny frog before it hopped into the bushes. The macro feature of the camera helped me to get a close up picture. I took this picture by the girl’s and boy’s locker rooms. To take this picture I used the feature macro and zoomed up very close. The background makes the flowers in this picture really pop-out. I think macro made your photo look really detailed. (Cealy)

I love how the simplicity of the photo makes the flowers pop-out. There's one spot on the flower where the sun seems to compliment it well. (Charlotte) Makenna, the clear focus of the flowers against the blurred brick in the background make for a very striking photo. The macro feature also captures the detail in the center of the flowers. Nicely done! (Mrs. Sandora) Wow, I like how the flowers seem ‍really intricate and detailed compared to an ordinary brick wall‍. I also like how the green of the stem looks really bright compared to the dark red of the bricks and the white of the petals. It looks really good! (Gabi)

The white flower looks really pretty against the brick wall! (Ishika) I love how the brick wall makes the flower pop-out. Great picture Makenna! (Olivia) ‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ I took my picture in the Pre-K garden. I like it because of the way the light reflects off of the water. The camera trick that I used was macro and I sprayed the flower with water drops before I took the picture. I liked the way you two techniques, macro and water droplets. (Makenna) Gabi, I love the layering in this photo. The bright orange flowers really pop out against the greenery in the background. (Mrs. Sandora)

I chose this picture because I enjoyed the great sunlight streaming through the corn stalks. The picture taking technique of foreground is shown in this picture. I like the sky blue background in this picture. It brings the picture to life. (Garrett) Tyler, the peeking sun casts very interesting shadows in your photo. Very cool! (Mrs. Sandora) I really like this photo because the colors pop out.(Liam)

This is a photo of the majestic Bald Eagle scouting the area around him for food and predators. This photo was taken outside my grandparents’ house in Robinson on my own camera about 4 months ago. I would recommend using the least you can and try to get as close to the object as you can because the zoom can make it hard to keep the camera steady! That’s what I did! I really like this picture. I feel like I could just reach out and touch the eagle! (Selma) I really like the picture you took because it is a perfect head shot of the eagle and the zoom helped you so much the photo looks as if you got it off of the internet. (Jack T.) This picture is really cool because you only notice the bird at first,and then you see the background of leaves,logs,and trees.I thought that the colors blended really nicely. (Zander)

I love how the eagle is so close to the camera!(Jason)

**I chose this picture because I thought this is what it would look like if you were as small as an insect.** Garrett, I truly do feel like a small critter that has the impossible task of reaching the building in the background. Very nice! (Mrs. Sandora)

I took this picture in the Pre-K garden. I chose this picture because it mixes macro with water. Emily, this flower is so vibrant in color! I like how it is slightly off center. (Mrs. Sandora)

I love how the color pops in contrast to the green in the background!(Jason)

I was able to get a close-up photo of this tree shooting up into the sky without the photo getting blurry. The macro feature  helped me to take this picture. I really liked the way you took your picture. I think the macro feature made your picture extra cool. (Makenna) I love the way the leaves look in this picture. The way the bark is shaped makes it look a bit like a leading line! (Charlotte) I thought that the colors blended nicely withe each other because you see the bark,and the leaves together.I also thought that this picture had two kinds of elements to it,macro like what you said,and leading lines.This was a great picture! (Zander) Cealy, this is a great example of leading lines. The texture of the tree gives it character and I love how the branches and leaves spread out in the distance. (Mrs. Sandora) I like the way you used leading lines in this photo toward the sky.(Liam) I like how you did leading lines towards the top of the tree. (Rory) I like the way the bark looks up close. The leaves and the bark colors compliment each other. (Alexis) I really like how when I look at the picture, it looks like I'm getting ready to climb the tree. Also, I like how the bark popping out makes the picture look really three dimensional. (Gabi) I like how the sunlight compliments the light brown bark of the tree. It is really cool because you can see the individual leaves on the tree. It was a creative picture. (Max) I chose this photo because a keyboard can become this interesting. I used leading lines for this picture. I really like the leading lines in this picture. (Jack B) Selma, I love this perspective of a piece of equipment that I use everyday! Neat! (Mrs. Sandora)

Alexander, I like how you focused more on the flower.Since you added the water drops you can really see the colors of the flower! (Olivia)

I took this picture during the fourth grade recess. I thought it was cool because it is an action shot. I like how that kids facial expression is funny when he throws the football. (Brandon M)  Jack, it's interesting how you can see the movement in the picture. The grass also demonstrates leading lines. (Mrs. Sandora)

I took this picture in the Pre-K playground. I used the macro setting to get up very close. It is a little blurry because I zoomed in too far. I like this picture because it almost looks as if it's small pink sun. (Brandon M) I like how you used macro even though you zoomed in too far, I think it looks cool blurry. (Rory) Julia, sometimes what is unplanned ends up being our best shot! Love the yellow spot of color in the middle and how the pink color fans out from there. (Mrs. Sandora) I took this picture of a corn husk in the garden. It has natural dew, and I used a normal camera setting to capture the photo. I like this picture because of its simplicity and nature features. Charlotte, I love how you can see the silk strands of the corn husk individually. It's hard to believe that you didn't use macro! (I thought that you did!) It's also cool how just a couple of isolated drops of water are hanging off ready to drop. (Mrs. Sandora) I like that you could take a picture with that much detail without even using macro! That is a really cool photo. (Katie) I like how the husks have water droplets on them that gives it volume. (Max I like how the water droplets look like thew are going through a hair maze! Cool picture! (Charlie)  I like this picture because it ‍represents how I feel on Monday mornings!‍ (Max) I chose this photo because I liked the design color. This photo represents leading lines and different color back rounds.   This photo looks really cool because of the sun shining in from the background. Also because how the pipe swirls up to the top. Just making it look smaller and smaller. (Cealy)   This photo looks really cool, because you can see the reflection of the swirls on the pole, because of the sun. This was a great example of leading lines. (Zander) Whitney, what an interesting perspective of this well loved piece of playground equipment! The glinting sun in the corner reflects off of the climbing material. Very neat! (Mrs. Sandora) I took this picture in the Pre-K building. I picked this picture because I thought it was perfect example of macro and leading lines. I like how it is two leading lines.   The markers look giant! I like how it looks like you're in the middle of a maze. (Selma)   Charlie, this photo is way cool! I love how the markers closest are blurry and it gets more focused off in the distance. (Mrs. Sandora)

I took this photo when I was standing outside of the Pre-K building. I picked this photo because I thought the camera really brought out the red, white and blue. I like how the American flag is in the background of the blue sky. (James) Liam, this is a nice example of the rule of thirds. Your subjects are in the bottom thirds of the frame. I also love how truly blue the background is! (Mrs. Sandora)

I chose this picture because I like how the colors pop and I like how good the little droplets of water look. I like what the droplets of water did to your picture. The colors of the flowers and the background make the flowers really pop-out. (Cealy) Celia, I love the different shades of pink in the flower and the drops of water. Very beautiful! Did you notice how the one leaf peeks out in the foreground? :) (Mrs. Sandora) I like how the pink flower stands out so much from the rest. Also the water droplets looked really good.(Tyler)

The pink color really pops out. Also the water looks cool. Its a beautiful flower! (Ishika) I chose this photo because I think that it is an excellent example of color and detail. The macro setting helped me get a close-up. Jason, it's so cool to see all of the individual petals of the flower and the stems poking out of the leaves. (Mrs. Sandora)

I chose this photo because it is a great example for action mode and the half click. It helped me take a picture of Ben without it blurring. I really like that you used the action feature because in the picture it looks like Ben is just frozen in the air. (Jack T.) I like how you took a picture using both of the action techniques that Mrs. Sandora taught us. (Katie) Nice action shot Cayden! This could be used as the example in the presentation instead of the girl jumping off the dock. :) (Mrs. Sandora)

I picked this photo because I thought that it look like it was frozen in the middle of the air. I used the macro feature and it works really well up close and that’s what I used for this photo. I like this picture because it looks cool with the shadow behind it, and how the water stopped in your picture. (Cealy) That's a really good picture! I like how the light reflects off of the water, making it almost look like ice. The macro setting really makes it look good! (Gabi) I agree with Gabi, it does look like an ice sculpture! Very nice Jack. (Mrs. Sandora)

I don't know if you realize it but you also used the ‍strategy lack of color‍ all you used was grew silver and white really cool photo Jack! (Charlie)

I picked this photo because I like the bright colors that pop out. With the macro feature I could make this small pumpkin look really big! It's hard to believe that this pumpkin is really small Zander! Nice shot! I also like the details visible underneath. (Mrs. Sandora) I picked this photo because I liked that it was shiny and looked as if it is a huge diamond. You captured the different textures in this geode Brandon. Interesting. (Mrs. Sandora) ‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍ I took this picture outside the admissions office. I used background. I like this picture because after I took the picture, the wind changed directions. Wow, I really like that picture! It looks good the way the flag is hidden, and I like how the sunlight is hidden too, so the light is only in some places. (Gabi) I too find this photo interesting! The flag is smack in the middle of the frame, but it's set behind the branches and leaves which are in the foreground. (Mrs. Sandora)

‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍ I took this picture in the pre k building and I like this photo because it looks like a drop of water. I used macro and I mixed it with water. I like when you took the picture all the little lines made the rectangles pop out and I also liked how you took the photo before the water exploded.(James) I like this picture because you can see the water droplet. (Jack B) Josh, I feel like I could pick up this drop of water with my fingers! The detail of basket weave also adds interest to the photo. (Mrs. Sandora) On this picture I tried to use leading lines so that you could get one perspective of the picture. This is an excellent example of leading lines Rory! The grain in the wood is also pretty neat. The subject that you chose for your photo is one of my favs - books! :) (Mrs. Sandora) The way the shelf is a little blurry up close, but when it fades back it get clearer was very interesting to see.(Tyler) I like the coils and the colors of the yoga mats, very creative! (Whitney) I like the colors that the coils have, it really pops out! (Celia) I chose this photo because I like the way the sunlight shines from the front and casts shadows. This photo shows the rule of thirds which makes a more interesting background. This is a great candid shot Ishika. The building against the crisp blue sky is very striking. (Mrs. Sandora)

__**I took this picture by the pre k garden I like the water droplets.**__ The way the water gives almost a second layer that is see through is very cool. The water makes it look like it just rained! Noah, it almost seems that the water droplets are distributed uniformly. Great contrasting colors too. (Mrs. Sandora)

Posted by: Watts I picked this photo because it gives a good view of the lunch line. Watts, this is a nice example of leading lines. I like how you can see reflections off of the glass and metal. (Mrs. Sandora)

I picked this photo because it captures the beauty of the American flag. I like the leading lines feature that you used. (Garrett) The flag pole looks huge Max! Interesting perspective. I love how it travels up into the clouds. (Mrs. Sandora) ‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍

I chose ‍this photo‍ because I think it is an example of leading lines and color. In this photo, I love how the colors pop-out. (Cealy) This is a really cool picture! I really like how some of the pencils get a little bit blurry, while others are really clear. The color looks amazing! (Gabi) I like how some colors are dominate and others are kind of blurry. I think its really cool looking. (Alexis) This is a great demonstration of using bold colors Katie. I almost feel like the colors will rub off onto my fingers! (Mrs. Sandora) I like how the colors of the pencils look with the green they are behind, nice use of color back rounds! (Whitney)
