Assignment 3


Part 1 - Photography Magic/Illusions


We will start out by having a little fun setting up shots. Photography is fun. Learning the skills needed to take great photos is important. One of the first things we need to understand is that taking great photos often takes time. Point and shoot photos are sometimes great by chance, being in the right place at the right time. But, when we check out the masters, you will see how they sometimes take hours to get that perfect shot. They take lots of the same shot to get the best image.
