Intro To Stills Camera

In our first lesson on cameras, we were given a digital camera, we learnt about the aspects of using and understanding the appature (the cameras eye), focusing the lens, changing the shutter speed and the settings on manual mode. Once we had been taught how to use and operate the camera in the correct way, we were taught how to compose a picture in the correct way. The use of framing, for example the shot size and giving the character suitable looking or walking space etc. Another area to consider is the composition of the photograph, most importantly being the rule of thirds. All this governed by the 12 composition rules.
