Introduction to Photography - Week One [Workshop Notes]

Using a Camera: Technical Recap

The first part of our practical workshop consist of the class familiarising themselves with digital cameras and their operations. Here are some notes I took down that I knew I'd find important and relevant for future reference:

Practical Task: Jubilee

Using my current camera skills and techniques, go around the Jubilee building and take a minimum of four abstract shots that focus on elements that you think define the Jubilee building. Here are a selection of photos from the practical task which I captured on a Nikon D700 fixed lens camera.

Project Brainstorm

After going through our project brief in the workshop, I understood that our projects would have to focus on certain areas of photography such as portrait, documentary, street and landscape. The best way to find what approach I would take for my creative project was to brainstorm ideas about any of my passions and any relevant themes I could relate to photography.
