Brad Reed sharing photo tips
The sixth grade students created photo slideshows of the Ludington community. This project teaches the students how to take digital photographs, upload them to a computer, edit the digital photographs, select and organize photos into a digital slideshow, adding music and publishing a final product. This project was sponsored by the Ludington Convention and Visitors Bureau. Thank you to Amy Seng from the visitors bureau for speaking to the students and putting together a great prize package for the students. Thank you to both Brad and Todd Reed for taking time to provide some advice on how to take good pictures.
