Taking+Pictures

=Staging your picture= Staging your picture is very important as it draws the students' eyes to the important parts that you want them to see. You want the data that is evident in the picture to be readily visible and easy to see. Your students shouldn't be hunting for clues in the picture to answer your question.



=﻿Lighting= Lighting plays a key role in the imaging process, especially when you're talking about glare. Take several images of your media with different flash options. Try to take an image in natural light as flourescent light casts a glare on most surfaces.

=﻿Declutter the Shot= Decluttering your shot is simply removing unnecessary items from the shot so that you can focus your students' attention on what is truly important. Try to take still shots of media on a solid color surface or background. Eliminate random objects, busy backgrounds, and distractions such as people or animals (unless this is the focus of your image).
