About photos, cameras and the end of a season…
Is it just me or 2016 went by as fast as our big kids running down the ramp?
We are right in the middle of the year! It’s june, spring is going away, summer wants to come in but the rain gets on the way…oh! time! time!
Eye, Light, Camera – my first Big Kids Club – will be ending soon but before that happens I shall confess to you that it was such a great adventure. Each class and each field trip meant a new story, a new experience.
Since the first week of April, we’ve gotten together every Wednesday to learn how to combine our eyes, different types of light and cameras to produce amazing compositions. Plus, after visiting Beau Photo on May 18, all the big kids now understand how to use and take care of a DSLR camera along with some photographic techniques.
In June, we’ve got together in the big kid’s classroom to organize some hands-on activities with a real DSLR Camera and in just two weeks we were able to make a “surprise” short video featuring our big kids’ best shots while practicing our 3 rules:
1. “A DSLR camera is a special piece of equipment that people use to take photographs. It’s special, so always keep the camera on your hand or around your neck”.
2. “Hold the camera, get the subject, zoom? Steady, steady, press”.
3. “Make sure you save them, in a safe spot, in space?” 😆
Here it goes:
Our final project is coming: “Design & build a 35mm camera”. (We started already but needs to be fully dry).
So in the mean time, we are going on a new voyage to the cinema located in Woodward’s centre @ SFU, next wednesday June 15! Hopefully, we will take a close look back stage, see the projectors and meet a movie in 35mm.
*Thank you Budding’s teachers, kids and also parents for your support. Encourage your kids to take photos! photography is a fun art form that gets kids excited and more in tune with the world around them!
