What happens when you give students a digital camera, a small light source, and a piece of paper? Mrs. Griffith’s photography students in Digital Imaging Class was given just that. They’ve been learning about light and shadow while using completely manual camera settings. They were then able to use Adobe Photoshop to enhance and crop their photos.
