Photography Session - Introduction

This was a refresher lesson to get back into photography. We were reminded of the different types of lighting and how to set up a basic studio.

Types of Lighting: 
1. Soft Box - soft lighting
2. Beauty Dish - hard lighting

Aperture - size of the hole in the lens, how much light it lets through. f-stop is the size of the hole. The smaller the number, the bigger the hole.
Sync lead - plugs into the key (main) light.
Light meter - measures the light/flash to see how bright it is. Measures in aperture. Hold the light meter next to the model, the same distance at the side of the models face.
1) Turn on
2) Hold down button that says ISO
3) Using the arrow keys, set the ISO to 100.
4) Set camera ISO to 100.
5) Mode Button: Scroll through 4 different modes and select the lighting bolt with a little c next to it.
6) Hold sync lead into light meter.
7) F. 8 on camera, take photograph and it will be the correct aperture.

Setting up lighting:
Ignore the numbers on the side of light. Change the brightness by twisting the buttons to change it.
The lamp changes the brightness of the modelling lamp. The bigger the number the brighter the light, the smaller the number the dimmer the light.
                  

Unfortunately, we forgot to bring memory cards/sticks so have no photographs to upload. The photographs we did take included soft box and beauty dish lighting.
