- Look carefully at this blog post for ideas, research and theory

- At least one image should be black and white, and show understanding of tone and contrast
- Over half term…try to photograph a range of still-life set-ups, experiment with your own lighting, own objects etc
- Remember when EXPORTING from Lightroom you must adjust the file size to 1000 pixels on the Long edge for “blog-friendly” images (JPEGS)
