Learning how to shoot a photo story

The last hour of today's class was spent outdoors as Tony explained how to shoot a photo story. It was a beautiful morning. Unfortunately nice mornings in early September remind me of 9/11. I've posted some pictures of the class and Tony. Some of us took turns being the subject or director. Holly, who worked for a photographer after high school, was getting all these amazing shots from different angles. Johnny as a director was creating all kinds of scenes. There's a lot of young talent in this class.

I cropped these photos, using the front photo option in Photoshop. All 3 photos are the same size and resolution. They align nicely when uploaded. Without using this option, it's harder to do this.

I didn't take enough pictures to have a good section from which to choose. The assignment for this weekend is to take pictures that tell a story. We need to get at least 50 pictures put on our photo site. The challange will be to figure out what's going to be the story. I find it's much easier to be told what to shoot.
