This is the 1st unit in a sequence of 5 professional photography units designed for distance education to progress students to a professional standard. This unit is studied in your own time and in your own environment.
This unit is an intensive 8 lesson program. In this unit participants will be introduced to the physical equipment used in photography including photographic hardware such as camera systems, recording systems including positive and negative film and digital recording platforms. Participants will explore natural light, it characteristics and how light is used in combination with their camera, lenses and recording systems to creative images and the effect that differing natural lighting conditions have on the end image production.
This unit is essential for beginners and ideal for participants wanting to learn about their camera and how to begin creating images. Participants will be tutored in the use of window light, bounce flash indoors and outdoors and mixed lighting situations.
Learning Outcomes
At the successful completion of this unit participants will be able to:
- Categorise a range of camera systems from compact, 35mm, medium and large format cameras.
- Distinguish the electromagnetic spectrum and the visual spectrum and discuss its influences on the photographic process.
- Discuss natural and some artificial light sources and their effective behaviour upon selected subjects.
- Distinguish between lens focal lengths, speeds and optical capabilities, understand lens aberration and performance.
- Have a thorough understanding of exposure and using camera hardware in manual mode
- Create quality natural light images using a select number of photographic techniques including selective focus, depth of field and shutter speed and aperture manipulation.
- The behaviour of light – Light quality and light direction
- Create images through the use of lens behaviour, f-stop, field of view, converging power and depth of field.
- Create and understand fundamental composition and colour theory.
