These two sessions will introduce you to both the theory and practical side of digital photography. Starting with the basics, you will begin to understand the 3 pillars of photography:
- Shutter speed
- Aperture
- ISO (sensor sensitivity)
and how these three factors can alter the image captured.
Session 1:
To begin this session, we will spend some time inspecting the camera to get you feeling comfortable and confident. Starting at a beginners level - we will look at the 3 pillars of photography - shutter speed, ISO & aperture. You will switch your camera to Manual mode (M) and begin to explore altering 'the 3 pillars' on your camera to visually & practically develop your understanding of how to control the light using these settings. You will have a worksheet that focuses on altering the shutter speed to create motion blur & static images.
Session 2:
In this second session, we will revise the content from session 1 and begin to imbed the knowledge through further practical investigations and experimentations.
