Putting It Together

Things to Think About When Editing

LT: I can edit my images to create a better photo and better compositions

​

  • What is the focal point/subject of the image? 

  • How can I draw attention to the subject better?

  • Are there any distracting elements to crop out or use the healing brush on?

  • Does this have good composition?

  • How can the composition be improved?

  • Is the Horizon line level?

  • How can this be improved by using the editing tools in Lightroom?

Create Poster

LT: I can create a poster to showcase my best images.

As we have for each of the previous assignments, create a poster to showcase the best 8 images you have taken.  Make sure to use a good layout and a title for the poster (your project title) with clear readable text.  Use Photoshop or Canva.  When finished, turn the poster into the Padlet as a PNG or JPEG
