Helps with planning and intervention

4. Geographic photography
Throughout your studies of geography being able to analyse photos and tell the different between these types of photos is critically important
The types of photos you will need to become familiar with are as follows
Oblique
Aerial
Ground-level
Satellite images

5. Geographic photography
Geographers have to use many tools in their field of work.
Where recording data in written form is too time consuming, photography is often used, this is because it is much simpler compare.
Photos are relatively inexpensive

6. Oblique photography Oblique, also known as oblique aerial photography.
These photos are taken from a high point, which is at an angle neither horizontal.
It is kept purposely tilted from the vertical by a specified angle

7. Aerial photography An aerial photo is also known as aerophotography.
An aerial photo is defined as the making of photographs of the ground surface from an aircraft, spacecraft, or rocket.
These photos are particularly helpful in city planning

8. Ground level photography
Ground level photos are photos that are taken from ground level.
The camera can either be placed within a few inches of the ground
However the photo can also be taken from a standing postion.

9. Satellite images
Satellite images are defined as Satellite imagery consists of photographs of Earth or other planets made by means of artificial satellites.
These type of photos are generally used for revealing weather information.

10. Todays activity Today you are going to create a photographic essay.
A photographic essay is similar to a written essay except you use photos to tell the story.
You are to tell the story of the Yanomami people up to where we are in this study.
I am going to provide you with an example
You must use PowerPoint to complete this task
With every photo you must annotate, what is the photo of and what type of photo it is.

11. Activity
These are the topics we have looked at in class and you need to use on the essay
Location
Housing
Family
Food
Intruders
Government support
You must cover all these topics.
The notes we have used are on the wiki spaces and you may need to look over previous work to complete this task.
