Technical session

Today was a really interesting day becaue we have learnt so much from Chris! It was one of the best technical sessions because I actually had the opportunity to take pictures and he showed us many lightning setups that we could use for our final photoshoot and not only.

Important things I have learnt today:

• to log in into the computer: username: student, password: student;
• we can borrow a mainspower flash kit and set up our own studio wherever we want - we just need to let Chris know in advance so he has time to sign our borrowing sheet;
• we can make our own background  - at home or even in the studio - we can paint one, for example;
• if the picture is too bright we can try to turn the flash down a bit;
• the best camera lenses for portrait and studio photography are: 50-55 mm, 85 mm and 100 mm
• we can use AV - aperture priority, especially when shooting outside, in the natural light etc.

I have also drawn a scheme of one of the lighting setups which I really liked:

Because I took a photo of Chris and he didn't posted on mycourse that photo, I don't have it so I can show how my picture looked, but I have the picture that he took of me:

Overall I really enjoyed today's technical session because I feel like it really helped me to understand better how to take good photographs and I hope this could be seen in my future results!
