During one of our lessons we learnt the ways of a camera..we got taught the important procedures such as focal length, shutter speed and ISO. The focal length is the length of the aperture an that is the hole in which light is passed through, shutter speed is how fast the shutter closes when in progress of taking the photo.

some of the basics we learnt that we should use when using the camera are –

• Turn the camera on
• Check the battery is working okay
• Check there is a SD card in the camera
• Select manual or automatic
• Menu button to change aperture and shutter speed
• Check ISO is on automatic settings
• Take lens cap off when in use and leave on when we aren’t using the camera

We made contact sheets to help identify which images that we took were good and which that didn’t really work. When taking the photos we needed t remember key identifications that help the image create meaning and a story they include the following..

• Position
• Angle
• Distance
• Models pose
• Expression

Through our contact sheets I can see that some of our images were very over exposed, some also turned out blurry and out of focus. Some had to much light whereas others had to little. To ensure my next shoot is better i will adjust the shutter speed and ISO number and make sure I help focus the lens.
