Intro to Photography

Friday 8 August 2025

It was our first meeting, so I gave students an overview of what we'd be learning about photography:

  • Exposure triangle
  • Aperture
  • Shutter
  • ISO
  • Bokeh
  • Depth of field
  • f-stop
  • High-speed sync
  • Bracketing
  • Rule of thirds
  • Street photography
  • Prime versus zoom

I explained what we'd be covering regarding editing:

  • Histogram
  • Exposure
  • Tone curve
  • Saturation and vibrance
  • Color grading
  • Contrast
  • Crop
  • Highlights and shadows
  • High key versus low key
  • Vignette

And I showed them a few pictures and told them the story behind them:

Ulica Florianska in Krakow (2017)
Honor Guard in Lipnica Wielka (1997)
Dawn Fishing at Lake Jocassee (2019)
