A Study of Light!
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Reflections
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Reflections are important in photography because they can add a new perspective, symmetry, or repeating patterns to an image. They can also create an artistic echo of a scene.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will follow along with instruction and use what we have learned to create amazing photos using Reflections!

Please keep cameras dry!
Remember Cameras and Rain do NOT mix!
