Today’s workshop with Kate Green was all about
photography; the six participants from the Prince’s Trust learnt all about how
cameras work, how light affects a photo and how to adjust the camera settings
to get the perfect photo.
What does DLSR stand for? For those (like me) who
didn’t know, it stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex.
How does the aperture affect the photograph?
No-one? Well, the aperture is the space light travels through the camera, which
can be adjusted depending on the light available.
Armed with cameras provided by the mac, and their
new knowledge from Kate, the participants took to Canon Hill Park, taking
pictures of various flowers, birds, and people.
They learnt not only about focusing on different
subjects, but how the photographer themselves can move and manipulate the
picture to be exactly how they wanted.
After looking through the photos and the countless
smiles, it’s safe to say the workshop was a success, and inspired some
participants so much they intended to go out and buy a camera!
