Free Inquiry Post 2
This week I looked at the different “rules” of photography! When it comes to photography composition, their are generally the first nineteen “rules” of taking photos! Below I have included a picture of the rules laid out and examples of what that looks like:
There are plenty of ways that these rules can be used when taking photos for classroom projects. For example, students can use patterns, symmetry, and repetition for taking photos for math assignments! This provides a visual representation for the students while teaching them how to take a variety of photos. Students can also use these rules to create visual aspects for presentations both online and in real life; allowing for creative expression and exploring new ways to take photos!
This weeks history lesson on photography explores the first ever permanent photo taken by a French scientist named Joseph Niépce in ~1826. During that time, cameras had very long exposure time so the photo took eight hours to capture. Below you can see what the photo looked like:

It is really interesting to see how far photography has come since then, follow along next week for more!
