Photography Lesson 2

What did we do?

in this lesson we focused on types of lenses that can be fit to a camera and their uses,and also looked into where photography can be used in modern day like journalism and sports photographers and which types of camera they would use and why.

What did you learn?

this lesson i learned the different types of lens and the measurements of a lens  and how it effects image quality and the overall look of the image like with a wide angle lens images being completely different to an image taken with a zoom camera or a wide angle one.

How is this useful?

this is useful to me because with the knowledge of camera lenses i will know what type of lens i would need to use for a specific lens. like id i need to take a extreme close up shot i would use a macro lens

Photography Lesson 1

What did we do?

in the first lesson we had a brief history of photography to write on tumblr, then we had some example cameras come round the class to show the history of photography.

What did you learn?

we learnt the origins of photography how people used to use things to take photographs like projecting the countryside into a room and tracing the image for painting later. Also in lesson we learnt about the implications of photography on the media like in Vietnam and the american civil war, which through the media had gotten a bad reputation from the images and news coming from the front line.

How is this useful?

With a better understanding of photography's origins and uses i have a better understanding of where photography is useful and needed.

Photography

What is photography? photography originated from the Greek word “phos” which means light and “graphe” meaning drawing. Modern photography has become more digital and is used in many different ways.

What is the benefits of digital cameras?

The benefits of using digital cameras over conventional cameras is that with digital cameras you can preview the image as soon as the image is taken. another benefit is that to get higher quality images digitally is the only way to get an image that can be shown on a big scale without compromising quality

How has photography changed the world?

because of technological advances in photography it has made photography readily available to everyone such as ID cards, having your picture taken easy without much effort. Also in modern war photography has been used to show the public the effects of war and famine such as the war in Vietnam was the first war to have the media play a major part in the war effort, due to Americas outlook on the war from the mass images and videos coming from Vietnam it showed modern america its first look into war and this sprouted mass protest against the war effort.
