H.A.G.S!
\n(Have a Great Summer!)<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to LAS for again organizing the Kid’s mini summer camp.\u00a0 Also thanks to Wat Lao Buddhakhanti for allowing us the space to teach and play.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Day 5: Photography and Skating<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For the last day I wanted to\u00a0give the students hands on experience in photography, and I almost had enough cameras for everyone. \ud83d\ude42 First introduction was basically the differences between point and shoot imaging devices and real cameras.\u00a0 I\u00a0had the students pick an SLR of their choice and\u00a0also a partner and use\u00a0the temple grounds as a backdrop.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Material List:
\n<\/strong>-Nikon DSLR with wide angle to medium lens, and wireless remote speedlight capability
\n-Nikon DSLR with a macro lens
\n-Canon DSLR with a manual focus normal lens
\n-Infrared Sigma DSLR with an ultrawide lens<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All the cameras except the strobist setup I\u00a0put on manual focus to make the students take a bit more time in composing their photographs.\u00a0 The images\u00a0below\u00a0are what they came up with, with slight processing by me.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
