Topic 1: I am going to photograph my hometown of Albany Oregon.  I have lived here for 21 years and I know a lot of people and I know my way around town. Portrait: person working at a shop or store  Landmark:  Something Compelling  Activity:  People playing a sport of some kind The photo of the portrait is going to be the most difficult because I have to talk to someone and get permission to take a photo of them. Topic 2: Who? Boy Scout  What? They are working on their Eagle Scout project. Where? At the project site and at the location of where the troop meets. When? The days of the project and troop meeting nights. Why? I chose this person because I grew up doing Boy Scouts and I am an Eagle Scout also it is my old Troop. I would go at documenting the project. the person who is doing the project, which troop they came from and why they chose this Eagle project.

Topic 1: Tip 1: The most difficult part in taking photos is when the frisbee is coming towards you and getting the depth right so everything is in focus.  Tip 2: Also when you are shooting the action shot always make sure you get their faces and names.  Using the right aperture to make that I get the singular subject, or the surrounding area in focus to get the full explanation of the photo.  Also when it comes to names get to know the players by going to practices so they don't think you are creepy so you can also interview them. Topic 2:   Baseball Team practice  Outside on the Baseball Field  Overall:  Players on the field warming up  Medium: Players practicing at bat Close up: Catcher at the mound receiving the ball
