Week 6 (Lectures, Tutorial, Practical)


WEEK 6 (11.5.2023)

As week 5 is a public holiday, we conducted week 6 class based on the materials of week 5 class. Mr Fauzi explained that we will picked up the class slowly on next week. So, next week, we will be conducting our class based on the class materials of week 6 and 7.

Lecture

In this lecture, we learned about digital photography. 

  • Exposure setting: the amount of light which reaches your camera sensor or film
    1. Iris/Aperture: *control the flow of light entering the lens
                               *measure by f-stop, indicated by sequence of f-number
        The lower the f-number, the larger the lens opening.
          2. Shutter Speed: *allow light onto the film or prevent light from reaching the film

          3. ISO: *the sensitivity—the signal gain—of the camera's sensor
              The lower the number of ISO the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain. 
  • Lens Perspective: wide angle lens, standard lens and tele lens
    1. Focal Length: The shorter the focal length, the wider the angle of view and vice-versa

    2. Depth of Field: The smaller the aperture you use, the greater the depth of field

Tutorial

In tutorial, we learned about studio shooting. We learned how we can take photo of small object, medium object and large object in home just like in studio. We could use many daily tools we had in home to obtain the effect we wanted. It is very useful for us so that we can practice in home anytime. 

Practical 

In practical class, we were required to complete the exercise of Project 1. which is the heart mansion exercise. We need to edited the character, Shazam into the given background. After completed it, we have to take a photo of ourselves using the techniques we learned in tutorial class, we have to make sure the photo is taken with eye level. Then, we need to edit the photo of ourselves into the same background. I completed this exercise in Digital Photography and Imaging - Project 1.
