What we did today was we first talked about the motion pictures, how to take a picture that has movement. Also when to follow the subject and when to just stay still, and the difference in pictures. After that we went to Flushing Meadow Park and we took pictures of ourselves spinning so we could catch a motion picture. In addition we also built pyramids to catch movement pictures as well. we also took pictures of different sports such as soccer, and we tried to see if we could catch them moving. Last we came back to school and reviewed the pictures that were taken.
