California History & Geography
Part B: Gold Rush to Pre-Progressive California
Organizing Question:
(Outlining an anwer will help you prepare for the essay question)
From the era of American takeover to the 1890s, years of pre-progressive reform, do you find Americans particularly greedy or particularly concerned about justice and the legal adjudication of grievances?
Is the "rule of greed" or the "rule of law" most important?
In other words, do you find more conflict or cooperation among groups brought together in the Gold Rush? Do you find examples of both?
Do you find changes over time?

Five Tips for Fabulous Photos
Please click logo for more about following:
1.
Show people doing something
Photos are always more engaging with people in them. Photograph people when they’re in action and frame them off-center to add even more visual interest.
2.
Wait for dramatic lighting
The right lighting can turn even the most expected scene into an exceptional one.
3.
Look for unusual viewpoints
Take time, Walk around. Look up. Look down. Find a perspective no one else has, and make your picture extra special.
4.
Include foreground elements to add depth to scenic photos
Foreground elements add context and perspective, drawing the viewer in to create a feeling of really being there.
5.
Fill in with flash
If your subjects are standing in a shadow and the scenery behind them is in sunlight, turn on the flash to balance out the scene. This also reduces harsh shadows on their faces.
