PHOTOGRAPHY

ALUMNI

Digital Photography is a skill that none of us can escape. From simple point and click cameras, mobile phones to high-end DSLR cameras there is a lot to learn in a digital environment. Learning the complex mechanics of a DSLR camera combined with Adobe Design software, the students were up to the task and have produced some wonderful works of art. Throughout the year, the photography students have been working hard to produce photos that portray the wonderful and diverse surroundings of our College. Photography is an elective subject that has been made available to the Year 10 cohort this year.

THROUGH THE LENS We have worked on a variety of tasks including advertising, selective focus, tone elimination, photo montage and vignetting. These tasks required us to take photos around the College and edit them in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom. They also helped us to develop a number of photo taking and editing skills. We were then able to improve our skills in Photography and Media. During the course, students were encouraged to explore the inner workings of a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera, also known as a DSLR camera, and learnt the meanings of terms like aperture, ISO and white-balance.

When we were completing our advertising task, we were very fortunate to be able to use the studio kit in which we learnt how to set up and take down the studio lights. This enabled our photographs to look professional, as they would look in real advertisements. Students are mastering the software which is fantastic. Students explored the college, capturing the beautiful moments of nature, with the right tools and equipment to shoot the perfect picture.

Students have access to tools such as a tripod and a macro lens allowing them to express their creativity.

They all enjoyed taking the photography course this year and now have many skills to apply to their photo productions allowing them to produce photos to a professional and creative standard. Students were very thankful for the opportunity they received to take the course in Year 10.

Congratulations for the great work completed this year!
