Some times getting Middle school to challenge their photographic eye is about easy as trying to teach a horse to tie shoes. Because lets be honest Middle Schools are the best at everything...
**Jokes**
To be fair, Middle School is the generation of technology they have now been raised partially by the internet, and they have a lot of experience with recording devises. **Cough Cough I hate snap chat Cough** They record and take picture of everything they do and say, so when you tell them we will be learning about photography they have probably take more picture than you have in their life. However, take lots of picture does not always mean they know how to take good pictures.
So for this assignment we focus on lighting, and controlling light. Instead of focusing on light in the broad sense, we are narrowing our technique to backlighting.
The students are sent off with the camera and a mission to control the lighting, so all the subject show up as silhouettes. It takes trial and error, a few misfires, and a lot of lamps, so in the end we get a great experience and some amazing photos.
All photos were taken by 7th grade students
