ISO Discussion and History of Photography-Camera Obscura

Due to you being in Mrs. Queen's classroom we'll be unable to download your most recent photos. You should still be thinking of ISO and how you use the settings, however. Have a brief discussion on ISO and what you have noticed in your photographic explorations with Mrs. Queen.

For most of the class you will conduct research on the Camera Obscura as part of an ongoing project on the Hisory of Photography.

SHARE THIS RESEARCH WITH ME ON A GOOGLE DOC!!!
