Photography Induction

As a part of this module we were introduced to the photography resource, firstly we had a short presentation about the equipment available at our disposal and how we can hire the gear. Then we moved onto the technical side of the cameras, this was helpful as I'm not very familiar with the use of some of the equipment available, the focus of the session was to look at shutter speed, aperture, exposure, iso, and RAW compared to  JPEG. I was familiar with some of these terms but it was useful to recap on some such as the differences between RAW and JPEG files, before this induction I often got aperture and shutter speed mixed up for some reason but now I can differ between the two. 

After the induction we were handed a small task to try capture two different types of photos. One was to use a fast shutter speed so that you achieve a style which the the whole subject / object is in focus with depth of field, then the second type of photo was to use a slower shutter speed to achieve a motion blur, which can give the photo some context behind it as it shows the subject / object in motion.
