10:45 Digital Photography Introduction

Your Canon T3i and T7 are dependable cameras for shooting automatic and manual mode photography, including video.

You should have in your camera bag 2 lenses along with a strap, battery and battery charger. It is your responsibility to keep you camera in working order each day. We’ll practice assembling and disassembling the camera each day we use the cameras. Why? (because you might have to do it in the dark, or have to change lenses in the middle of a shoot – time is money!)

Activity – We’ll do some basics to properly set up our cameras. Starting with the menu button and then working our way around some of the button and icons around the body of the camera. Topics:

Menus / Formatting / Guide Overlay/ Shooting Formats (more on RAW later)

Focusing

Depth of Field – (is how much of your photo is in focus from front to back of the scene)

Composition – Kodak Tips

Understanding Shooting Modes – Cheat Sheet

We’ll head outside and move around between the small garden & fields.

Using Automatic Mode, practice some shots. Make sure you capture these eight elements:

We’ll return to the classroom to view your shots. Select your favorite shot and name it by the element you captured.

1:20 Our First 20%

This afternoon and most Friday afternoons (but not all!) we are going to do what many companies are allowing their employees to do – which is to spend a percentage of their work time tackling pet projects, extended learning paths and independent inquiry. The Alphabet Group (Google) called this practice 20%.

This is not time to game, sort music for thirty minutes or talk with others. This is production and learning time. It is a time to continue your learning on work/learning we did in class and to explore outside the edges.

In this very short week we’ve explored features of Illustrator, using the Wacom Tablet and some basic camera fundamentals.

We’ll look at your 20% Topics and work
