  1. Dear Gal,

    I just loved your video!

    You presented some very useful tips in an easy to understand format.

    I think the students in 2KM would really benefit from watching this video so I hope to show it to them soon.

    I think it is fantastic that you decided to make your guest post so educational. Sharing your knowledge is great!

    I have a question, where did you learn all these great tips? Did Mrs Yollis' teach you about photography and filming or is your family into using cameras? Maybe you read these tips in a book or on a website? I would love to know.

    Your friend,
    Miss McGeady

  2. Dear Gal,
    well done girl:) I just LOVED the tips you mention on what and what not to do not only with a camera but a video camera too.
    Thanks Gal, now I was wondering I get the feeling that you love taking photos.
    Great post I really will use your tips that you mentioned as I am really not good a taking photos.
    However with these wonderful tips I feel that I might be now.

  3. Dear Gal,

    Congratulations on producing an excellent and informative post. I learned a lot and I plan to share the post with Jaxon's Mimi who I think could learn a lot from your tips.

    I especially liked the presentation - the film strip as the background, that you explained both what was good and what was bad, and used examples to illustrate your lesson. You would make a great teacher...if you don't become a professional photographer!

    Thanks again for the great post.

  7. Dear Ms. McGeady,

    Thank you for writing such a great comment. You asked how I learned all of these tips. I learned most of these tips from my wonderful teacher Mrs. Yollis. My dad though has a great camera, and he teaches me how to take photos. Don't think that I just learned it from those two people, I learned lots from you too!

    Your friend,
    Gal

  15. Dear Gal: For me it was a really good video where we can actually learn tips on how to take good pictures, step by step. Also, you can compare good and bad pictures where you can see what was right or wrong with each picture.
