Assignment 1: You Take Control - Item & Location
5 8"x8" SQUARE PHOTOGRAPHS, 5 DIFFERENT OBJECTS, 5 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, INCLUDING PERSON/PEOPLE. AMBIENT LIGHT (NO FLASH), EACH PHOTO WITH DIFFERENT ISO.
Taken in bright sunlight, low ISO gives sharp image.
Shadier spot, with slightly less sunlight so ISO increased.
Higher ISO due to shade and wind movement in the leaves of the apple tree.
Due to very low light level (candle only) ISO increased. However, digital noise is present and picture quality suffers.
To capture the fast moving water, ISO increased to maximum but, as before, digital noise is present giving a grainy image.
C&G Photography Course - Units of Study
7512-92 Level 2 Certificate in Digital Image Manipulation 120 GLH / 16 credits
Unit 206 Principles of Photo Image Capture
Unit 215 Digital Image Manipulation
Depending on time constraints, I may in due course consider adding some/all of the following units: 205, 209, 208, 207.
As I am relatively new to digital photography and only have a basic compact camera (Fujifilm Finepix Z100fd), my aim on the course is simply to improve the quality of the photos that I take and also to learn more about manipulation techniques (using Photoshop Elements 8). I am also hoping for some useful guidance in ultimately purchasing an appropriate dSLR as this will be a major investment for me.
In terms of subject material, my principal interests are:
The natural world - from land/seascapes to close ups of texture and detail
Heritage - both rural and industrial (I really must join the National Trust!).

Consall Hall - The Thatched Cottage
Autumn Leaves reflected in the cottage pool signal the change of seasons at Consall Hall Gardens. A tripod helps mimimise camera shake with my Fujifilm Finepix compact camera.
