CAPSTONE
COMBINE YOUR SKILLS
You have learned how cameras see light, how to hold steady, how to fill the frame, read direction and quality of light, tell a story, blur backgrounds, balance exposure, control motion, and shoot up close. Now prove it. This challenge asks for three deliberate photos, not random snaps. Each shot should use multiple skills at once. Steady grip plus good light plus thoughtful framing. Think like a photographer with a tiny assignment, not a tourist tapping blindly. Planning takes two minutes and saves twenty minutes of weak shots.
🏆 CAPSTONE
