You will start by doing a bit of research on viewfinders and LCD displays on digital cameras. After you feel that you have an understanding of the purpose and function of viewfinders and LCD displays on digital cameras, you will write three to five paragraphs comparing and contrasting these two features. You want to not only identify and explain what they do and how they are used but also explore when and why a photographer might use one versus the other or both simultaneously. Next, you are going to put on your creativity hat and grab some blank paper and colored pencils, pens, or markers. You are going to create a series of drawings that show what a photographer sees when looking through a camera viewfinder versus what they see when looking at the LCD screen.

You will draw the photographer’s perspective looking through the viewfinder and the LCD screen for each of the following:

A portrait of a person or animal in a park on a bright, sunny day
An indoor still life composition
A brightly lit, indoor sporting event
