- Before you
borrow the camera, decide what it is you want to
photograph. Will you be able to get to that spot
after school, or will you need the camera for the
week-end? Think about what you will write about
the photograph you wish to take.
- Practice using
the camera at school. Work to hold the camera
steady and try not cover the flash and electric
eye with your fingers. Have a friend evaluate the
results with you. We will practice for several
weeks before anyone borrows the camera.
- Learn to
delete all pictures you do not want to keep.
Pictures take up a lot of space on the computer.
Let's just keep the best ones. Use
the plugged in adapter when you are viewing and
deleting images. This saves on battery power.
- When the time
comes to borrow the camera, you will need a
signed note from your parent. The note should say
that they and you will do your best to take
proper care of the camera. Because there are only
two cameras at this time we will have to share.
- I will have
student directions for using each of the two
cameras. At the moment only directions for adults
are available. If you wish to see them, they are
at : Camera Directions.
- These digital
photographs go from the camera to the computer.
They can become part of an article you are
writing for the internet or you might use them in
a letter e-mail. They can be part of a
presentation you make to the class.
