"Alright, guys," Prompto grinned at the class once it was time to get started for the day, "I hope you remembered to have breakfast before coming in today, otherwise, I'm sure this first part of class is going to just make you really hungry! That's almost the point! Last week, we talked about food photography, and, as usual, it's time for you guys to show off what you've got, and then we'll get into the topic for today. So! Who's got something really good to make our mouths water to start us out today?"

Once everyone who wanted to share had the chance to, Prompto nodded a little and grinned. "The next focus is going to probably be a little easier on our stomachs," he said, chuckling a little as he gave his own a small, rueful pat, "and I know it might be a little lame to assign homework over a school break, but I like to think this one might be a liiiiittle different. I'm pretty sure week after next is going pretty much just be pouring over shots of our trip to Africa...or at least I hope so! I know I'm planning on taking a ton of pictures, and I hope you guys will, too, and based on what I know of the place, it might be an absolutely killer time to put some focus," HAHA PHOTOGRAPHY PUN YOU'RE WELCOME!, "on landscape photography.

"Now, pretty self explanatory, right? Landscape photography is going to be pictures of nature that focus on the nature of it all, the great outdoors, the vast wild wonder around us! It doesn't necessarily have to the be the wide scope, either, it can include the smaller details, too, like a well-placed flower in a field or a cool shaped tree. Basically, the idea is to capture the essence of the world around you...and I think implanted into a whole new setting could really make some exciting photos next week!

"So, of course, we're going to go over a few examples, as usual," even if most of Prompto's landscape examples came from around the island itself, there were still plenty from previous school trips, and a few from the wooded area in Duscae where the chocobo ranch was, which was really the only place outside of Insomnia he'd ever really been back home, "and then we'll go over some cool techniques, methods, and things to keep in mind when doing landscape photography."

And with that, he went into it, with an emphasis particularly on showing them different kinds of lenses that would be helpful with the cameras they had, how to use a tripod, and a little extra time spent on using natural light to your advantage, among other useful details.

"Now, clearly, we're not going to get much landscape practice in here," he concluded with a grin, "and I'm sure we could do some pretty good work in the danger shop if we wanted to, but that's not quite the same. You've got all week in Africa for some really new and unique landscapes to try, but a little bit when we get back, so, unless there's any questions, you can consider this an early start to your spring break....unless," he added with a chuckle, "you've got other classes to go still."

"Chances of having to utilize any of the skills you've been picking up on a school trip are pretty much slim to none," Gladio started class with a grin, "although it'll be a great chance for you to consider what a different climate and location can bring to the table as far as survival in the wilderness goes. Different weather patterns, different sources for water, different animals to track or plants to forage. Different materials with which to build your shelter if you don't have a tent available.

"So I know we've done snow shelters already, but today, we're going to focus on a few other types of shelters that'll be helpful in other situations. Some of these are going to depend on having at the very least a tarp on hand, but the others will be based soley on what types of resources you can find, so always keep an eye out for raw materials like wood or foilage that could be helpful. Especially since there's definitely going to be some places..."

He took an idle glance around at the rough and barren Liede-inspired landscape surrounding them.

"...where those resources are going to be sparse. But let's go over some construction instructions, and then you're off on your own to see what you can scounge up and build."

There was popcorn on the bookshelves today. There were also books, thankfully. Not everything had been replaced by food this time.

But the popcorn kept appearing in places it shouldn't. Between books. On top of books. Behind books. Under books. On empty shelves.

Belle kept collecting it and throwing it away when she spotted it while shelving but there seemed to be an endless supply.
