Research

When you start researching a topic it is like fishing with a net. Throw it wide and far; collecting as many different references from as many different sources as you can. 

For example use books, talanoa, the internet, film, T.V, kanohi ki te kanohi, games, kai, galleries, marae, artists, dance, hīkoi, your community and try to be open to other knowledge traditions such as tikanga Māori.  

Once you start to know your topic you can hone in and concentrate on references that are more specific, you are more like a hunter now.

A tip

Photography has many see-saw instances, for example ISO, shutter and aperture. 

A change in one will always effect the others.

An interactive game

Play to help your understanding of ISO, shutter and aperture, just follow the below link:

http://www.canonoutsideofauto.ca/play/

Shutter speed: controls exposure time and how motion is portrayed.

<Slow shutter = more blur = more light____________Fast shutter = more frozen = less light>

Aperture: controls exposure and the DOF

<High f-stop = deep DOF  = less light_____________Low f-stop = shallow DOF = more light>

White balance: light has colour and your camera can see it

ISO: sets the light sensitivity of your camera

Manaakitanga

Attendance and being on time: class starts at 10:00am

Participation: participate in class activities and self directed activities, for example listen when listening is needed and talking when talking is needed.

Support and encouragement: communicating on each other's Blogger, following each other, sharing your time, skills, and knowledge. (Remember to document so that there is evidence for assessment.)
