These resources are designed to encourage you to explore your use of the camera and it’s functions. The more you experiment and discover, the more control you will have and this will lead to more creative outcomes…
CAMERA CRAFT – exploring exposure settings
ISO – experiment with different ISO values to enhance your exposures…be wary of “noise” in your images with high ISO
White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo. Proper camera white balance has to take into account the “color temperature” of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light.
Homework | Practical / photoshoot
Due in WEDNESDAY 7th October
Minimum Expected frames/ exposures = 150-200 images
Choose from a range of camera skills that you have learned in Week 3 and 4 and 5 to complete a new photo-shoot…
We want to see that you can explore and extend your handling of
- colour (try limiting your palette of colours to : primary colours, colour harmonies, contrasting or complimentary colours if possible)
- texture and surface quality (aim for contrasts : rough v smooth etc)
- Show that you can adapt and control both ISO and White Balance (WB)…and even use it creatively too
- exposure control
