Photography Badge

Our troop has worked on many badges, including the photography badge.  For this badge we had a meeting at which we talked with Ashlinn's mom about what makes a good photograph, and how you make it that good.  We talked about different kinds of cameras, films, and looked at examples of good and bad photographs with a slideshow that Ashlinn's mom created with photographs she had taken.  We each got a packet about photography and a disposable camera. At the back of the packet there were some assignments we had to do with our camera.  For example, one of the assignments was to take 4 pictures, one demonstrating shape, one showing lines, and one showing texture.  Also, we had to take one showing rhythm.

That was just one assignment, there were many more. There were many more. This badge was a lot of fun. We are planning to develop, crop, and blow up our pictures. We also are creating a small gallery.  I really enjoyed the photography badge. If you are planning to do this badge, you will too!
