Henry's sky and landscape photos

Henry is an awesome part of our St Albans Snappers team! He often brings his own camera to school and uses his initiative to take photos of school events.

This morning he was inspired to take photos of the beautiful sky we had in Christchurch this morning.

Keep it up Henry!

Cross Country photographs

The St Albans Snappers will photograph lots of school events this year. The most recent event was the Cross Country. Piper, Maiya, Bella and Jake were positioned in different places around the track, capturing interesting moments and using different angles. Here are some of their shots. Many of these will feature in the Year 5/6 Yearbook at the end of 2014.

Things that are special about St. Albans School

Miss Falkner sent us out with cameras to capture photos of special things about St. Albans School. It was interesting to see that some groups captured the same things!

Maiya and Arihia:

 The Oak Tree, the symbol of our school.

 The totem poles by the sandpit.

 The carving outside the bilingual unit.

 Our office area.

The mosaics outside the hall, created by students.

Caitlin and Jordyn:

 Our school library.

 The house shield.

The heart of achievement board.

Bella and Lydia:

 Lots of trees in our school.

Quail Island photos from Henry

Henry has made the mushroom stand out by making sure it is in focus and the background is out of focus.

Awesome texture!

Love this perspective.

Henry has made this picture look interesting by having the sky take up most of the picture.

Check out how Henry has captured the movement of the girl in front, making it an interesting photo to look at.

The texture and colour of the grass in this photo make it effective.

This photo almost looks like a painting, with the blurred colours and the sunlight streaming through it.
