Photography Lesson 1
As part of our work we need to know how to work a complex SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera effectively in order to create the perfect shots that we want. Although this was a good lesson I was very aware on the use of an SLR camera which meant it was somewhat a refresher course for me personally. SLR cameras can be used for a variety of functions which helps create precision, fluidity and confidence for the photographer. An SLR camera can be used to focus and zoom manually that allows you to create the perfect image and a number of functions that allows you to change the overall experience of uses that you require. A handy function is that shutter speed can be adjusted to suit the conditions of the location of image, they are very sensitive to movement which means it takes some time to perfect the images as they can be seen to be blurry and unstable in many occasions.

As part of our practical lesson we created a number of varied shots allowing me to create different images through shutter speed, depth of field and zoom.

Although this was a helpful taster session I believe as I am familiar with this technology  that we wasn't learning enough about the camera and the speed in which we was working was relatively slow. In order to help me more I would require having another lesson on photography.
