Outcome: Initial Outcome

Kentucky State University's Small Farm Program and Beginning Farmer Project, in collaboration with the University of Kentucky 4H agent Christy Martin of Russell County, worked together to form a photography club for 4H and clover buds students.


4H clients met once a month to learn the proper techniques for photography. A few subjects covered were the rule of thirds, foreground,  background techniques, and focus. After class discussion, the participants photographed agriculture subjects, and we discussed how to improve the images. 


Four 4H individuals enter the Russell County Fair in Photography. One 4H student, Dalton Foley, won Grand Champion of the Floral Hall! His black and white image of a vintage car with a guitar in front of it. Using the rules taught in the photography club classes. Foley plans to enter the picture in the 4H photography division at the Kentucky State Fair! Several Blue Ribbons were awarded to the 4H students who participated in the classes.
