Year Nine Photography

It was a beautiful day last Thursday when the Year Nine filmmaking class took some beautiful pictures of Johnston Creek. The Year Nines were learning about frame composition by using the naturally occurring shapes in the land to create leading lines and focal points. Check out some photos of their walk.
