Welcome to Bluevale's TGJ 3MI
Digital Photography Project Page
During this 4-5 day practical project, you will learn the basic skills involved in properly operating a digital SLR camera and taking effective digital photos. Skills development and learning will come from a combination of introductory theory lessons, demonstrations, reference manuals and hands-on training.
WHAT YOU WILL DO:
- Working in a small group (2-3 students), you will learn how to operate one of our class digital SLR cameras (Nikon D40, D60 or D70).
- You and your partners will demonstrate an understanding of important photography principles, including:
- Safe handing of camera and lighting equipment
- Camera settings and adjustments
- Shutter Speed
- White Balance
- Depth of Field
- Aperture Settings
- ISO ("Film" speed)
- 3-Point Portrait Lighting
- Product Photography
- Image Composition
- Each group member will take a series of photos (refer to assignment booklet for complete image set) that will be used for your desktop publishing unit later in the course. These photos will include samples of:
- Shutter Speed, White Balance, Aperture Settings, Portrait & Product Photography, Composition
- You must keep a record of photo settings (or refer to picture Metadata on computer)
- Plan on taking pictures of you and your group members at work during the activity (images could be used on your portfolio website).
