The reason that we are covering each of the main controls of the DSLR camera and creating our own photos in class is so that we can look back on our work at a later date if we ever need a quick refresher of how to properly use a camera.
6 months from now, if I give you feedback that your aperture or shutter speed is slightly off in a photo, it is important that you can revisit the work you are currently creating and know how to fix the problem you had. Therefore, I would like you to create ‘Info pages’ for each of the topics we cover in class and upload them to your site to help you in the future.
The Task: a) Create a ‘how to guide’ on aperture. How you want this to look and what you want it to say is totally up to you – you are the one who will need to read it later and understand what it means so try to be as clear as possible.
You should use the internet to help you, but remember that your work needs to be in your own words in order to avoid copyright infringement. Try to include images on your page like in the example below:
b) Create a ‘how to guide’ on shutter speed. You might like to include information on 'light painting' and 'night photography' within this guide, since they are so closely related to shutter speed.

c) Upload your info pages to your site. Remember that your work should be uploaded as an image to your site - if you choose to use Canva or Google Slides for this task, you should download your work as a jpeg before you upload it. You should upload your Aperture info sheet beneath your Aperture photos taken in lessons and your Shutter Speed info sheet beneath your Shutter Speed photos.
