This document provides tips and guidelines for smartphone photography. It discusses using natural light versus flash, and positioning subjects relative to the light source. The "rule of thirds" composition technique is explained, where the subject is placed off-center at the intersection of the frame's thirds lines to create a more dynamic image. Different types of shots like wide, medium, and close-up are introduced. Tips are provided for framing shots of people and including headroom and lead space. The "five shot rule" for constructing a photo story using different shot types is also summarized.
There are no actual rules of photography but there are some guidelines which may help enhance your photos. These methods can make your photos more interesting and attractive to the viewer. The way you take your photos can completely transform the subject of the photo making them more exciting.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1.4 modern child centered education - mahatma gandhi-2.pptx
09 13-16 image and photo, how and what to shoot
1. Images: photo
Photos from Emil Parkaklis, Iphone photography school; Andy Bull,
multimedia journalism
2. Light
-Natural light
-Flash light
-A mix of ambient light and flash.
• Most safe in a cloudy day.
• If you are photographing in sunlight, try to position yourself so that
the sun hits your subject from the side, this will give you nice
'modeling' and help create a 3D effect in the picture.
• Sunlight behind the subject can give a very pleasing 'backlight' effect
but be careful that you are not getting 'flare' in the lens, which
degrades the contrast of the image.
3. A picture taken in the middle of the day, the overhead
sun casts deep shadows into the kids' eyes, spoiling an
otherwise quite nice little group portrait.
This picture was taken at the same time as the one on the left
but here the sun is at the side and behind the subject.
4. Composition: The
rule of the third
• The rule of thirds is one of the most
important rules of photographic
composition. Landscape photographers
are particularly fond of this one, but it
works well for many types of subject.
• The rule of thirds simply says that,
instead of placing the main focus of
interest in the center of the frame, which
makes for a very static composition, that
you look to position it on an intersection
of the thirds. That is to say one third up
and one third in or two thirds up and one
third in etc.
5. Example
Don’t put the horizon in the middle (almost
never).
The tree takes on more importance in this picture because it
now sits on the intersection of the vertical and horizontal
third, which is a very powerful position in the frame.
6. Reasons for the rule of
the third
1. The first is a more general feeling that a
subject in the center of the frame is 'at
rest', it's not going anywhere it feels . . .
And a bit boring.
2. Moving the subject, or main point of
interest, away from the center of the
frame shakes things up, makes the viewer
work a little, it just makes the picture
more dynamic.
3. The emphasis can be either horizontal,
vertical or both.
4. Rule of the third for smartphone

rule-of-thirds/
7. Balancing the rule of the third
• The main subject of this scene is
clearly the bright orange cliff on
the right side of the river. But if
that was the only subject, the
weight of the image would be
focused on the right side.
• In order to balance out the scene,
the photographer the big rock on
the bottom left corner.
8. Use Diagonals
Setting your subject matter on a diagonal will almost always make for a more dynamic picture.
points. Move around the subject and look for a diagonal.
9. Framing images
1. Head Room
https://www.atomiclearning.com/video-storytelling-guide/shot-rules
-Too much headroom makes the person appear to be sinking. Most
novice photographers and videographers will frame shots of people with
too much headroom.
-Too little headroom places visual emphasis on the person's chin and
neck. When framing shots of people, pay attention to where the eyes
appear.
10. Framing images
2. Lead room
-Leave extra space in the direction
your subject is looking. This is also
called a nose room. Leave extra
space in front of a moving person or
object, like a runner, bicycle, or
automobile when following the
action.

11. 3. Looking at the background
• Make sure there are no
undesirable objects.
Especially, in the corners of the
frame, behind the head, bright
colors
• Or make he background of your
shot doesn't draw your viewer's
attention from your main subject.
13. Photos can tell a
story that words
cannot

a story about the
blizzard in 2013.
And how one photo
claimed the front page
of major news papers.

15. Photos can tell you more
about people
• This guy took a photo every time he saw
someone reading a book on the subway
• As part of a project called “last book”, to
make a point that reading printed books is
a beautiful human behavior that will not be
around for long.
16. Types of camera shots.
1. When shooting still images, look for different camera shots. To build
a complete story, or a sequence, you have to capture different
aspects of an object.
2. Commonly used shots are – wide shot (WS), medium shot (MS),
Close-up (CU), Reaction shot (RS), Point of view (POV).
3. There are other types of shots too. The full range of shot types are
introduced by mediacollege.com.
4. Note that this typology is a convention commonly used in photo,
video, film and television industries.
17. The five shot rule: the most common formula of stitching up
different camera shots to construct a story. (Source: Poynter
Institute, 5 types of photos that make for strong photo essays)
Shot 1. The scene setter
• Use Wide shot (WS) or
Extreme wide shot
(EWS).
• Where is your story
taking place?
• What does it look like?
• What is the mood of the
place? (Think of audio
to go with it)
18. Shot 2: Connect
the character
• Use Medium shot (MS)
• The spot of your action
• The character connects
with the setting.
• The area of the building or
town where your subjects
are.
• This shot narrows your
story’s field of view and
should bring you closer in
19. Shot 3: the
portrait
• Close up (CU)
• Who is your main subject
and what does he or she
look like?
• This can be a traditional
head and shoulders shot
or a wider shot that shows
surroundings.
• It’s always best to take a
variety of portrait shots.
20. Shot 4. Capturing
detail.
• Extreme close up shot (ECU)
• Detail shots work especially well
for transitions, but can have great
storytelling potential all their own.
• What are the pictures on someone’s
desk? What books are they
reading? What’s that post card they
have tacked to the wall?
• All of these things tell us a little
bit about our subject.
21. Shot 5:
capturing action.
• Medium close up, Over the
shoulder, or point of view shot.
• Action shots show your subject
doing something — this shot may
be your theme.
• This is the shot some
photographers spend an entire
shoot trying to perfect, often
amounting to the same shot being
taken 30 times.
• Photos of your subject in action are
essential in your story.
• Let’s watch the whole story. It is
an NPR project called Health care
22. Tips for photographers in action
(Kobre, Multimedia storytelling, pp. 121-122)
• Shoot continuously
• Build up an event and capture the closure (Arrive early and remain till the last guest
leaves)
• Watch for transitions (entering the building…leaving the room)
• Frame horizontally (especially for cell phone cameras)
• Copy photos to capture history(from albums, refrigerators, or walls)
• Compose the image (include some extra spaces on the edges)
