Information: shutter and aperture

 The faster your shutter the more frozen your movement, the slower, the more blurr.

The smaller your aperture the deeper the DOF (depth of field) the larger the more shallow your DOF.

Remember shutter and aperture are like a see-saw when you change one you affect the other, so you need to know what you want before you start, for example do you want a blurry pic or a deep DOF?

Information: Whitebalance & ISO

Remember light has colour and you need to make sure your white-balance meter is on the correct setting.

ISO is when you chose how light sensitive your camera will be; the higher the ISO the more sensitive. (If you go too high you will get digital noise, look at 12800 as an example.)

Task Four: five wrong photographs

#1. Underexposed
#2. Overexposed
#3. Incorrect Whitebalance
#4. Incorrect Whitebalance
#5. Everything blurry

Field trip: Ngā Kete Wānanga Marae

I had a great day at MIT's Ngā Kete Wānanga Marae, with kai, raranga and waiata.
Thank you each for participating.
Have a think about how this community differs to the Faculty of Creative Arts community.
Remember the conversation we had about PhotoVoice, the online community that uses Photography to create stories about community groups, check it out at this link.
I am looking forward to hearing more about your own community tomorrow

Task Three: Long-term-goal

Identify what your long-term goal is...
(My fingers are crossed with the hope you all come on time for the next class.)

Task two: Voguing recipe

Watch the voguing documentary "Paris is Burning"

The documentary follows three aspects of the voguing community

#1 The Ball
#2 The street
#3 The house

Decide which is your most preferred and then create a recipe for how to participate, for example you might write a recipe on how to throw shade or how to hustle or how to vogue.

Remember a recipe needs ingredients, tools and instructions.

Field trip: Fresh Gallery Otara

Our trip to Fresh Gallery Otara to see the exhibition Ngā Mahi Tuku Iho (Skills From Our Ancestors) by Tanya Edwards was very informative.
Have a think about the two different communities that Tanya represents in her work.
(Māori and Tongan).
How does the artist communicate the two different cultures?
(Think about the materials, motifs, patterns, shapes, colours, etc.)
How did the artist access this knowledge?
(Where does she live, who are her tīpuna,
