Camera Operating

We have been using PhotoShop to help improve and construct our images. To begin with, I struggled with using PhotoShop but i am becoming more aware and familiar with the concept. I still find it quite difficult as I am not used to working with PhotoShop but I am getting better.

 We were showed how the film cameras work and how to set them up. First you get your equipment out of the bags. Then you set up the tripod, using the clips, lock into height appropriate for your shot. Next you should attach the camera onto the tripod safely and securely, making sure you are careful in case it is done wrong and the camera falls. Once the camera is on, you must bubble it. This is basically just leveling the camera so the shot is at a good angle. Every time you move the tripod you will have to re-bubble the camera. The tripod is heavy but truely helpful as it prevents jerking and shaking.
