Assignment for Thursday Night - Due Friday

There are numerous photo sites on the internet. Examining photographs that you really like will help you take better pictures as we study how specific types of photos have been taken, so we can use these techniques to compose our own photographs.

Tonight, go to
http://www.flickr.com/
Find five different types of pictures that you really liked.
For each photo, in a new email, copy the url for the photo, and write one sentence about what you like for each picture.

Also, in the same email, do some research on your camera at this site:
