Another week of lockdown photography. Week 12 This has been another interesting week due to the ongoing lockdown, this time Level 2 restrictions. The learning materials for this week focus on night photography, in preparation for the assignment next week, which is a night photo (funnily enough). It’s been a little bit easier to takeContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 12”

Lockdown photography is not ideal. Week 11 This week has been interesting due to lockdown. The learning materials for this week are all about architecture photography, in preparation from the assignment next week (Night Architecture). It’s not my favourite type of photography to take. I love looking at a good architectural photo, but I justContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 11”

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”

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”

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”

Busy. Busy. Busy! Week 5 This week had me studying for the one and only online test in the course. It was an open book test (thank goodness) and was all about the main concepts discussed so far. At first I had to really think about the questions, but then I remembered that I couldContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 5 & 6”

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”

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”

‘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”

Since I bought myself a new camera, and subsequently realised that I probably need to learn how to use it more effectively, I have been thinking about doing some further study. After having a look at all of my options, I realised that I could study online through a Polytechnic down on the South Island.ContinueContinue reading “Beki studies things: Photography”
