Second Photography Lesson

-Macro Lenses are lenses that focus more on detail when close up. These are also known as prime lenses as they have one number on them, eg 60mm or 100mm.

-These lenses are perfectly constructed as each component is perfect for 60mm or 100mm shots, meaning the quality is better.

-It is important to note that the lens used is always more important than the camera body.

-You can only use the same brand of camera lens with camera body.

-Tethering is where the computer and camera are linked, so that when a photo is taken it shows up on the screen. This is done with a tethering cable available from the hatch.

-Connect the cable to the computer and to the camera, and login to the computer using 'Student' as both username and password.

-Open the program called 'Capture One', and press 'New Session', then give it a name. Take note of where the photos are being stored, the best place is 'documents'. 

We took photos using beauty dishes, reflective boards and bouncing the light:
