BV Photo Class flicker discussion topics

http://www.flickr.com/groups/bvdigphoto/discuss/

Wed. is midterm. Mak has responded to 3 of our 5 class discussion questions, and Maddie is working on them now. Makayla, if you have time, it would be great if you would respond to the 2 new ones. This will count as your "class participation grade." Lucas- please spend 5th hour responding to all 5 today.

I will get self-evaluation sheets out to you all for the sports and abstract pictures (UPLOAD LUCAS, UPLOAD!). Girls, I commented on and graded all of your pictures so far. If you want to see what I said, look at your pictures on flikr. You should be able to just click the "Recent Activity" link at the top of your home page.

If any of you post comments on each other's pictures, I will give you extra-credit points for the extra "class participation. Don't forget, the test on Sports Photography will be this Friday!

Professional Photographer Phriends who I "CC"ed this message to- We would LOVE for you to either join our discussions or comment on any of the student's photos. I'd love to have your expertise to help me help these kids to become the best shooters possible. Thank You!
