During the course you will learn creative contemporary technique, solid photographic craft and current digital technologies while being encouraged to move beyond your comfort zone, to develop and refine your own vision, your own way of seeing; to make photographs, not just take photographs.

Folio Task TWO |

Before we start taking photographs, it’s important to get to know the camera a little. This task will guid you through the main feature and function on a common digital SLR Canon Camera. |
Folio Task THREE |

 |
As an introductory activity, students were asked to familiarise themselves with some of the basic features and functions of the Canon Digital SLR. Following this, students will be given the opportunity to take a number of photos under controlled conditions. |
Folio Task FOUR |
|
 |
Folio Task Four requires you to present a black and white photograph. With the absence of colour, it means you need to train yourself to look at shapes, tones and textures in your frame as points of interest. Pay particularly attention to shadows and highlights which will become a feature of your shot. |

Folio Task SEVEN – Postcards From Kew |
|
 |
The white balance setting is used to make the colours in a digital photograph look natural under a variety of lighting conditions. It works by balancing the colour data from the camera’s red, green and blue (RGB) channels. These primary colours are found in all light sources in varying proportions, depending on the ‘colour temperature’ of the light source. With a high colour temperature, the light has more blue; with a low colour temperature it’s redder.
