Portrait Pictures
Yesterday, our photography class took portrait pictures of each other. On our camera, we had to use the rule of thirds.The rule of thirds is 9 boxes, like in a tic tac toe box. And the eyes of the person getting a picture has to be matched up with the top 2 intersections of the lines. And we also had to angle the photo so that the sun shines on the person you are taking a picture of from the front, back, side, and other side. And after that, we put the pictures inot Picnik and edited them to make them look nicer.
Claymation
We continued using Edward Muybridge's idea for using still photos and putting them together to make it seem like motion. Me Sahara and Kristyna made a claymation about a magic rug and a family. But there is a monster that wants to play, but the family is scared. The magic rug swallows the monster up and the dog plays with the monster. After that, we took pictures of the claymation and made it a video on Windows Movie Maker and put music to it.

Flip Book
In photography we are making a flip book. The first thing you do is to draw 10 boxes and draw in the first and last box so that you know what you want to make your flip book do. And after you are done, you take pictures of your flip book and edit them on Picnik. And then you make a movie on Windows Movie Maker.

History of Photography
We learned that early photos were called sun pictures, and that sunlight was used to create photos. Daguerre Louis created the photgraphic plate, Robert Maddox created the silver bronmide, and Matthew Brady was the first photojournalist, and Oscar Barnack made the first 35 millimeter camera.
Pinhole Camera
Me and my partner made a pinhole camera from a pringles can with a pinhole in it, with a shutter and some more stuff. We made it by cutting a cardboard box and taped on the cardboard to the pringles can with the pinhole in it. And then we put a shutter so we could control when we want it to close. And we put a sheet of photo paper in it and after that we removed the shutter for 1 minute and then closed the shutter so the film could develop.
