This last few weeks were a little bit of a failure! Week 9 Throughout this week I was supposed to conduct research into landscape photography and then take a few practice photos to prepare myself for Assignment C, which is all about Landscape photography. However, I didn’t do that this week because I didn’t readContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 9 & 10”

Lockdown 2.Oh
So at 11:59pm tonight we begin another Level 4 Lockdown. I’m calling this one ‘Lockdown 2.Oh’. For those of you not currently in New Zealand, Level 4 is the highest alert system. The one where we all have to stay at home and keep within our ‘bubble’. We WfH (work from home), do our shoppingContinueContinue reading “Lockdown 2.Oh”
I got a promotion
Today I started a new job. It’s at the same place that I was already working, but now with a completely different set of responsibilities. New responsibilities. Before, I was a Learning Designer. Learning Design, similar to Instructional Design, is designing, developing and delivering materials so that someone can use them to be able toContinueContinue reading “I got a promotion”
Photography: Week 8
I had to undertake research this week – it’s the first time I’ve done that in a long time! Week 8 This week I researched two terms: Contre-JourChiaroscuro Contre-Jour is a French term, and it basically refers to when the photo is taken with the light behind the subject. Backlighting in other words. Usually thisContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 8”
Photography: Week 7
This week has been all about lenses and focal Length! Week 7 I have learnt a lot about focal length and the different types of lenses. The learning materials centred around the difference between the various types of lenses. I already knew that there are prime lenses and zoom lenses, but I wasn’t very sureContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 7”
Photography: Week 5 & 6

At first I had to really think about the questions, but then I remembered that I couldContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 5 & 6”
New Technology
I bought a new MacBook 🙂 After LOTS of research and deliberation, and a long time spent looking at videos of each of the options, I decided on a MacBook Pro. I already have a 2016 MacBook, but just lately have been finding that it’s a bit slow when I want to do a lotContinueContinue reading “New Technology”
Photography: Week 4
This week has been all about composition. Week 4 The course materials this week went through how to actually compose a photograph, mainly focusing on the rule of thirds, perspective, repetition and canting (taking the photo at an angle). I really enjoyed researching photo composition. I’m fairly confident that I can frame a photo well,ContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 4”
Photography: Week 3
This week I read a lot! Week 3 The course materials this week went through elements such as selective focus, manual focus, built in flash, and accessories. I’ve never thought about focus more than that ideally a photo needs to have certain parts in focus. Lol. I was excited to put these learnings into practice.ContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 3”
Photography: Week 1 & 2
‘Introduction to Digital Photography’ is going well so far. I think. Week 1 It has been mostly an introduction to online learning, an introduction to the course materials and an introduction to photography so far. All pretty normal for the first course in a programme. I had to send the tutor an email explaining whatContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 1 & 2”
