This Photography Induction was like a reminder session from what we learnt in last years induction, going over ISO, White Balance, Shutter Speed and Aperture. We did this using the Manual setting on the Canon 1100D DSLR so that we would be able to work it out for ourselves. We were given a sheet to keep which tries to explain the different aspects of photography you need to consider when taking a photograph.

During the induction, we did some experimentation by photographing during the session and around college:

As you can see from the different effects of the images, I experimented with the different settings to see what they would produce.
Following on from this, we were given a demonstration into lighting and using light to get the best quality image for photographing final work for 2D.

You can use a tripod to keep the camera in one place and turn it upside down so that the camera is facing downwards. From this, by using a ruler or a spirit level you can get a level straight shot of the work which out it curving. It is possible to get light equipment out and use lighting to make the image brighter. The lighting can be quite stark and create a lot of shadows so this can be softened by placing an umbrella in from of it to make the lighting glow. You can use a light meter to measure the amount of light which is being given off and you can input the information into your camera so it knows the precise conditions it is shooting in to give the best photograph. Finally, a trick we were taught was to add a grey piece of card alongside the products you are photographing so that the camera can focus on that and be able to get the correct colour detection so as to have consistency in the images throughout.
