Day 2- Inanimate Objects, Group Photos

• Today's objectives are taking pictures of inanimate objects (things that are not alive) and group photos.

Inanimate Objects

• Capturing inanimate objects can result in boring lifeless pictures if your not careful.

• The trick to a good photo in this area will be capturing the object in a unique way.

exciting, but what we are hopefully discovering is that anything can make a great picture.
