RAVENSBOURNE FASHION WEEK... no its just the Fashion and Textiles rotation.

Today we had explored the basics of how to use a camera learnt about the important settings to get the outcome that we want. We were shown different types of photographers from magazines such as I.D, Vogue,  stylist and more. The main part of the day was getting to know the different settings, most of the things were shown I already knew but there was one hing i struggled to understand about the camera and that was the aperture. I thought that it was to simply make the image darker or brighter but i didn't know that it was to control the depth of field in your image. The higher the aperture the more the subject infant of the camera is focused on and the lower the aperture the more of the background your image contains so it will have a great depth of field. Before today I found out that to take the perfect image you don't have to stick with the manual setting or the automatic setting, i learnt to be free with the Av setting which allows you to control the aperture while the camera automatically adjusts the shutter speed for you.
