Teaching at Boys and Girls Club : Day 3

I have to say, these kids at the Boys and Girls Club never cease to amaze me- and I mean AMAZE me. Yesterday I took the kids out in groups of 2 and 3 and taught them about posing and how to take better photos of their friends. I let them use my Canon 5D MK II- I know, some of your must think I'm crazy... Okay, maybe it was a little crazy, but they did an AMAZING JOB!

I took a photo of their group, showed them how I would photograph them and talk with them as if we were on a real shoot. Then I handed the camera over (yikes!) and let them take over. The only thing I helped them with was posing ideas if they needed some (which they did mostly on their own) and fixing the exposure when the photo was "too dark" or "too bright".

Here are their best shots! I am so proud of them!
