Saturday Morning with the Kayak Club
Yesterday, professional photographer and ICC faculty member, David McDonald spent an hour in my Dynamics class teaching my students about photography. This block these students, in their on-going quest to enhance their own creativity, are going to have photography contest. One that is focusing on the "art" of photography. David taught us a lot about basics and then led us down the path of thinking creatively. Below are 15 pictures I took this morning. Most are wildlife or fellow kayakers where I tried to use the basics of positioning we were taught. In an effort to head to the art side, you will see two photos. One is a part of a railroad support column and the other is a shot of ice, snails, and underwater reeds. Over the next month each student will submit five photos for their peers to choose the best. The best shot from each student will be submitted for a competition that will be blindly judged by David, Angie, and Aaron Wenger.

I am at best an amateur photographer. I use a digital and a free program Irfanview to crop and resize my photos. I have found that cropping a so so photo can make a huge difference. I have no idea what your rules are, but thats my two cents worth.
I agree. I think you can see that my pictures are definitely cropped. The key to this is lots of megapixels. My camera is a 10.1.
