Digital Photography - Point & Shoot Basics

  COMPOSITION
  
    The camera should not get in the way of composing/framing images.
    Most cameras have the capability to "lock" exposure and auto focus
    functions. Some customizing allows the decoupling of these to lock
    functions. Check the camera manual about the use and programming of
    those features. It is important that the camera does what you want
    and not you having to live with doing what the camera wants. The
    camera should not get in your way!

  IN CLASS EXERCISE
  
    1. Choose one subject and photograph it with a variety of frames,
       angles, distances between camera and subject, height of camera,
       tilt of camera, etc. Work the idea thoroughly but only by
       changing frame, nothing else.

    2. Find a static subject and come up with as many different 
       photographic compositions as you can with it.
