My 8 year old daughter is interested in photography. She has a great eye for details and enjoys the time when she can use “MY” camera for projects.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Zero,<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

For this digital photography challenge for kids, I asked her to capture images on the camera to represent ZERO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her response…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ummm, that’s impossible.  How can you photograph zero?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just smiled, shrugged my shoulders, and handed her the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zero Digital Photography Challenge:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of her digital photography shots for the zero photography challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n

Extending the Zero Digital Photography Challenge:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our next project is learning how to put the photos together for a photo book using Shutterfly! \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I helped her to upload her favorite photos on the site and selected an easy to work with page layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One picture and one sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will then add some vocabulary and writing to the technology activity.\u00a0After she is done, we will go back and edit the sentences for grammar and strengthen the vocabulary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how the book looks in the first stages in Shutterfly editor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have customizable photo book options . Shutterfly is my family’s go-to site for making photo books, holiday cards, and pictures. If you sign up for their e-mails, they will send AMAZING coupons too!<\/p>\n\n\n
