I love photography, and for my birthday
last year, my parents paid for me to go on a
one-day photography course. It was great!
In the morning, the teacher taught us how
to take better selfies by using a 1 self ie stick
to 2 from a distance. We also
learnt how to take 3 photos of
insects and flowers, using a tripod to keep
the camera still and make sure the photos
are 4 . At the end of the day, we
did a 5 in the park. I took a great
photo of a huge bee coming out of a flower.
In fact, I think my photo is so brilliant that
I’m sure it’s going to 6 when I
post it online!
