Today was a very busy day. Michael started out our day with the quote "In the absence of light there can be no photograph"... As photographers we need a strong foundation of light and how to control it. We talked about elements that affect our photography; exposure, aperture, shutter speed and white balance.
We learned how to use the meters in our cameras to measure light exposure and how to make adjustments get the correct exposure. We talked about Depth of Field (DOF), ISO settings, aperture priority, shutter speed priority and program modes. Then came the fun part, taking our cameras out and shooting various objects at different settings. We were given the freedom to roam outside the classroom to capitalize on our creativity.
Below are my shots in the equipment room at different white balance settings.
Towards the end of class we were given a list of ten tasks to accomplish by the end of the week. I really have my work cut out for me.
