I Spy
I spy a lock, 4 keys, a musical note, a penny, 2 thimbles, and a sailboat;
a fish and an eagle from above, 3 Halloween items and 5 ways to say love.
From Kaylyn's Group:
I spy a teacher, 3 eggs, and two Frankensteins
4, hearts,a light bulb,&2 peace signs;
A pumpkin,2 shells, a heart of gold
A "tyler", a soldier,an 's' so bold.

The camera I want.
If money wasn't a factor, the camera I would choose to buy would be a Panasonic DMC-GX1XK, which is technically a point and shoot compact camera, but has some of the better features of a DSLR as well.

Close-Ups
A close-up is basically just taking a photograph when your lens is very near your subject. There are four key points to this.
1. Depth of field is small when doing close-ups because your camera is so near your subject, there's not a lot of room for background. Your subject is sharp and fills up the majority of the space, so you need to choose carefully what you want to focus on.
2. Movement in subject, camera, or both, is magnified with close-ups, so you ought to keep both steady and still.
3. The working distance is the space between the lens and the subject, and should be different based on different subjects.
4. Automatic flash exposure could be inaccurate when working close-ups. At close distances, response time is difficult because of trying to prevent overexposure, so you need to work carefully and try different settings.

Trick Pictures
http://theberry.com/2011/02/03/we-all-have-a-little-trick-photographer-in-us-30-photos/
I could do something like this, out in the hallway by the elevator or out back of the main building of the school. People would simply pose as though they are sitting against the floor with their feet on the wall, and by the elevator, someone could even lay on the floor as though they are holding up the radiator. Or, out back, like they're hanging onto a tree. I would then tilt the camera sideways to make it look as though the wall were the floor and vice versa.

This is only an example, I would actually want to do something a little different. Like in this picture, I could throw a rock into the small pond out back to create a ripple, and have someone pose about fifteen our twenty feet away from the pond as though they were going to dive in, with their hands "touching" the ripple created by the rock. I would stand another five feet or so away from that person to capture the picture.
~I couldn't find an example of this online, but as another option, I could have someone stand about twenty or thirty yards away from the telephone wires by the parking lot out back on the road, stand on their tiptoes and reach their hands in the air as though they were hanging by their hands on the wires.
I didn't actually end up doing what I thought I was going to do. But, here's what I did instead:

The Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds is a photography guide rule. It states that any certain picture can be divided into thirds, both horizontally and vertically - that is, two horizontal lines and two vertical lines. According to the rule of thirds, hot-spots, or points of interest, should be found on third lines or at the intersection of thirds lines.
A good example of a photography following the rule of thirds is as follows:
On the other hand, a picture that does not follow the rule of thirds would be something such as:
Note: Both pictures are mine.
