Activity Outside you will partner up in groups of 2 or 4 and take turns taking pictures using different shutter speeds. Fast Shutter Speed Each pair will take 5 pictures each then rotate. Slow Shutter Speed Each pair take 5 pictures each then rotate. You can take more than 5 pictures just make sure everyone gets their amount in and you are back in on time. * Be creative
