  SLR light meter + SAFE SETTINGS: Check lens is clean Half press shutter button to start light meter ISO • Check ISO correctly set in window SHUTTER 1/125 is safe. 1/60 or below, use tripod E.g. High is 1/4000. Low is 1/60 or slower IRIS Avoid lowest & highest f-numbers E.g. High is 122. Low is 12.8 FOCUS • Check straight edges line-up in  semicircles OVER EXPOSED: Increase shutter speed Or use higher f-number CORRECTLY EXPOSED: Make sure the centre of the viewfinder is on your main subjec UNDER EXPOSED: Reduce shutter speed but belo 1/60th will require a tripod Or lower f-number the session on Slr cameras was helpful we learnt how to properly expose the image using the light meter, we then when out to Rigby park to take some practice images. this was helpful as i learnt how the different lighting effects the light meter and made me think more about getting the correct exposure.

  Lens Craft - Types of Lenses There are several main types of lenses used in photography and cinematography: Prime Lenses: These have a fixed focal length, meaning they can't zoom in or out. They are k for their sharpness, clarity, and wide aperture capabilities, making them excellent for low light situations and achieving a shallow depth of field. Zoom Lenses: Unlike primes, zoom lenses have a variable focal length, allowing you to zoom and out. They offer versatility and convenience, making them popular for various shooting scenarios. Wide-angle Lenses: These have a shorter focal length, capturing a wider field of view. They're great for capturing expansive landscapes, architecture, and scenes in tight spaces. Lens Craft - Types of Lenses Standard or Normal Lenses: With a focal length similar to the diagonal size of the image sensor or film, these lenses offer a perspective close to what the human eye sees. They're versatile for many types of photograph...

  Exposure: A Guide to Waveforms - Set up To set exposure using a waveform monitor, you'll typically follow these steps: Frame Your Shot: Compose your shot with the subject and elements you want to capture. Enable the Waveform Monitor: Access the camera's settings and enable the waveform monitor display. Adjust ISO and Aperture: Begin by adjusting the ISO and aperture settings to achieve the desired depth of field and sensitivity. Observe the Waveform: Look at the waveform monitor to analyse the distribution of brightness levels in your image. A well-exposed shot will generally have a balanced waveform, with details in both shadows and highlights. Exposure: A Guide to Waveforms - Set up Underexposed Image: If the waveform graph is bunched towards the left side, it indicates underexposure. You'll need to increase either the aperture or ISO to allow more light in. Adjust as Needed: Make incremental changes to ISO or aperture and monitor the waveform display until you ac...

  Shot sizes and framing mo ving images      Wide shot   if the subject and their whole body is in view but not filling the entire shot.   The shot should show your subject amongst its surroundings    Gives us a better idea of the scene setting      Long shot   Always feature the subject top to bottom closer than the wide shot     Medium long shot    features the subject from roughly the knees up      Medium shot      Features the subject from the waist up      Medium close up      features the subject from the chest up     Close up     Often shows the subjects face     Big close up     Mainly foc uses on the eyes      Eye level shot   A neutral shot that is taken at the same level as the subjects' eyes      Low angle shot   Taken from a low angle of the subject to...
