4-H Photography

4-H Photography 

Photography is a great project for everyone

and easier now than ever. 

This is Otis, my baby! I take so many pictures of him. This was one that I took today on our lunch walk. 

What I love about photography is that it goes along with all the other 4-H projects. For instance, my passion is horses and I love to take pictures of them so that would go with the horse project and photography project. I can't think of any 4-H project that photography couldn't be incorporated in. 

Texas 4-H has a great project guide to get you started, Exploring Photography, that covers camera information, how to select a subject, composition, lighting, managing your photos, and displaying your photos. 

Here is a list of projects you could show at the fair. 

• Photostory of 5-7 photos, size: 3.5 by 5 inches or 4 by 6 inches
• Close-up photographs of different people
• Candid action photographs
• Panorama photographs
• Photographs on common themes
• Photos show editing  
• Studies of seasons
• Contrasts photographs (such as texture, pattern, shape, contrast, etc.)
• Poster showing principles of photography or digital imaging
