Digital PHOTOGRAPHY Induction

We recently had a digital photography induction. I was a bit skeptical about this at first as i thought we would just be given a camera told to take pictures then just bundle them onto a computer, but it turns out i was wrong.

I was a bit disappointed that only 3 people turned up for the induction but i'd like to give credit to the tutor as he really did try. I was indeed wrong and we were shown a lot more than i thought. We were first issued a dslr. I already knew the basics but as it was a different camera i had to get to know the layout. We then started to take about the basics of iso speed, apperture and shutter speed. I allready knew some of this but it was good to know in relation to digital photography and indoors shoots. I now know how to set the camera up for these settings. We then started looking at light metering. I had allways wanted to know how to do this so this was really interesting. From this this we started to experiment with lights and different things you can do with lights indoors to alter you photograph and create different effects. We also started to play around with long exposures and flashes creating double images and light painted images.

From what i expected i was very suprised about this induction. I came away thinking that i had now learned so much i didn't know. I also now know that im able to use this facility whenever i wish.
