Photography; Thursday, First Period [01/13].

Prompto had a lot of reasons to be both excited and nervous (hey, a lot could happen in a few days, especially regrets and reconsiderations!), but he had to get through teaching his class that morning first. That, however, he had nothing put pure excitement for, grinning faintly from where he was perched on the desk at the front of the classroom, eager to get started.

"Morning, guys!" he said. "I hope you've all had a good week and that you've had plenty of opportunity to snap some good shots to share today. I've been really excited to see what you managed to get, so we're going to start with that and have a look at what you got, and then we're going to talk a little bit about some basics on how to set up your shots, specifically through the use of framing and something called the Rule of Thirds. These concepts are going to be at the crux of almost any good photo. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule, ways to sort of break out of those concepts, but we're definitely not getting there today. In fact, we're not even going to ge tto framing and the Rule of Thirds yet, either, because I'm pretty sure you all have some pictures to show me, right?"

He grinned over at them, and hopped off the desk to move to the computer.

"So we'll take turns and come on over, and I'll show you how to hook up the camera so we can display the pictures on the board here for everyone to see, and we'll talk abuot them a little before getting into the real nitty-gritty technical stuff. Any volunteers to go first?"

After Prompto's walked you through the process to transfer your pictures to the monitor, it's time for a little amatuer photography slide-show! Feel free to describe the pictures you took in as much or as little detail as you see fit and share whatever you'd like about the whole process!

Alara had managed to not break her camera in the first week that she’d had it and she’d managed to get quite a few different shots over the last week.

Her photos included shots of the gym and the dorm and then she’d also taken a few photos during her walk to JGOB on Saturday. There were still a few different shots of the ground in between her photos but for the first week they were actually pretty decent.

"There's always a few ground shots in there," Prompto noted with a small, sympathetic smile. "I tend to get a lot of random bushes in there, myself."

And she didn't break the camera! Or, if she did, Alara had been very sneaky about replacing it with a new one.

Kurt was actually kind of excited to show off his photos, especially after talking to Liz a little the day before. So when his camera was hooked up he was showing Prompto the phots he had gotten so far:

There were several of the quaint storefronts around town.

There were a few of some kind of animal tracks in the snow.

And a few of some people at the coffee shop, Libby at the clinic, and some other candid shots as well.

Are you excited about seeing just soooo many selfies, class?

Tahani went into excruciating detail about the clothing she was wearing, the lighting she was using, and the celebrities who liked the picture on Instagram.

"Well, maybe when we do get to selfies," Prompto had to note with a little chuckle, "I should just sit back and hand the reins over to you, Tahani. Those were great. Love that handwavey designer of your choice, too."

What? If he turned to photography as a career, he'd sort of wanted to focus on fashion photography, after all!

There were a few shots on Sakaki's reel that involved her collection of stuffed animals, a few pictures of Hedwig, and a smattering of just random cute things that had caught her attention, but most of her photos were definitely from the animal shelter, up to and including all the puppies in the puppy pen dressed up as bumblebees, an insane amount of sleeping cats, a picture of a cat that just screamed 'warning!', followed very closely by another one of previous cat leaping toward the girl behind the camera, and then a photo of Sakaki's bandaged hand to show just a hint of the damage that had caused. Then more puppies, a few lizards, and Sidon photobombing her attempt to get some starfish in the fishtanks with a thumbs up.

"Oh!" Prompto's attention immediately snapped up with some of Sakaki's pictures. "Hey! Is that Furnado? That's my own stomping grounds, I used to work there, oh, man, are those bee costumes??"
