Photography Manual
The Photography Manual is worth 10% of your
overall mark.
The information gathered in the manual is
designed to be a reference to help you through
the course.
Throughout the course there will be a number of
small activities done in class which are to be
added to the Photography Manual.
If you are absent on a day that an activity is
done, you are responsible to come in at lunch
and complete the activity.
It is important not to get behind. You are to do
the activities at the time they are given. Getting
behind will make it difficult to keep up with the
course.
