Hello all... ...and Happy New Year!
Well, 2012 has gotten off to a busy start, and I haven't had much time to cruise the list lately... I hope Santa was good to everyone! One of the things I've been doing is teaching some classes, sort of a "Photography for Moms"/Beyond "Auto" kind of thing, and it's been going pretty well. I've been asked several times if I do kids' classes... and I think I'm going to put something together in that vein. So... I'm doing some research & thinking about how that might work. And soliciting input from anyone who might have it... Thus far, this is what I'm assuming: - Kids aged 9 & up... maybe even a 9-12 group, and a 13 & up? - Mostly p & s cameras, esp with younger kids - Composition getting greater emphasis than ins & out of exposure - we'll deal in Auto modes - Teaching practical applications... finding "good" light, how to photograph your friends, your pet, sports, landscapes, your vacation, macro, etc... - Keep it fun... a photo scavenger hunt? a website they can post pics/contribute to? "A day in the life", or other photo projects..? - Maybe 4 - 6 classes, 90 mins each What do you think? Anyone out there ever done this sort of thing, or have any good resources to share? I'd be most grateful... :) -c -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
