Topic: Nature Photography
EQ: What is the best way to take a ‘nature’ photograph?
Objective: To teach the class how to improve a photograph on Photoshop without taking away the ‘nature’ of the photo, using contrast, converting to black and white-as well as how to decide if a photo should be black and white-, a vignette, and filters.
Hook: (How will you get your audience's attention?)
Introduction: 1. State my EQ, and what I am teaching in this presentation and what my 2 hour will be.

Hook: (How will you get your audience's attention?)
Introduction: 1. State my EQ, and what I am teaching in this presentation and what my 2 hour will be.
2. Tell about the debate between photographers about how far technology has gone to change and image, whether photos should be Photoshoped or not.
Body: 1. I will explain how to figure out what the focus of the photo is, what the subject is.
2. First I will explain contrast, what is does and how it can change a photo, whether contrast is too high or too low. I will show them how to change it step by step on Photoshop.
3. Next I will show black and white conversions. First explaining why one photo would be better in black and white and why others wouldn’t. I will have a few photos up in both color and black and white to show the difference and explain why it is better or worse. I will then show them how to convert an image on Photoshop.
4. Finally I will show them how to do a vignette, why it enhances a photo and how to do it on Photoshop.
Activity: I will but several nature photos up on the screen one at a time and ask the students to write down what they think the subject is, what can be done to improve the photo out of the things I taught them, and whether it should be in black and white. I will then ask volunteers what they wrote and we will go over what the volunteers think should be done and whether it would work or not, I will do what they wrote on Photoshop to show them again how to do it, and if it worked.

Check for Understanding: The check for understanding, we will go over what the volunteers said and whether it works or not.
Conclusion: Go over again what each technique does to a photo and ask what they learned.
Materials: Powerpoint and Photoshop are on my computer, projector.
