Photography is one of the "Flex" exploratory classes that is offered at Skyridge.  In this class, students will have the opportunity to learn about how to use their cameras, what makes a good photograph, and techniques for different styles of photography.  Students will explore landscape, still life, portrait and action photography, while looking at how composition, lighting, depth of field and other aspects affect a photo.   On Mondays and Fridays, we will set aside our typical routine in Photography to drop everything and read, in a school wide silent reading time.

Here are just a few cool links to surf through.  If you find a great web site, please email  Miss Manwell.  More links will be coming soon.  Enjoy!
