Low Light Photography OBJECTIVES STEP 1 | L E A R N As students view the Low Light Photography 7-Minute Starter Presentation, they will learn camera modes and settings to be used when encountering low light environments and learn what ISO is and how it can be helpful when taking photos in low light environments. Students will create a cheat sheet for taking photos in low light situations.
STEP 2 | P R A C T I C E Students will take at least 50 photos in a low light environment using effective composition techniques and camera settings, with the goal of capturing at least five usable photos for the publication.
STEP 3 | U S E Students will upload photos to the appropriate folder(s) for use in the publication.
21ST CENTURY SKILLS In this lesson, students must think critically about not only how to take photos in low-light situations, but also about which of the photos are crisp, clear, high-quality photos. The ability to look honestly at one’s own work is key to success in the real world.
