Photo 1 Period 4

February 11 2013

            In the six weeks we’ve spent in photo 1, we have learned many new things ranging from the basic internals of a DSLR camera to the methods involved in using light graffiti. In our first week, we got to know each other and what would be expected of us in class. We went on to cover briefly the history of photography. Week 2 dealt mainly with the rule of thirds and how to properly apply it. The second half of the week introduced us to Photoshop and some of its myriad tools. Week 3 taught us two very important photographic techniques, depth of field and shutter speed. We used the aperture to allow the camera to focus only on one object so that it would be highlighted more strongly in the image. Shutter speed was sped up to produce “freeze frame” action shots or to blur an image. Week 4 dealt primarily with light graffiti using very long exposure time in a dark environment. Week 5 covered diagonal images.
