Different Types Of Photography

Equipments:Cameras,Lenses, Cases, Tripods, Cable releases, Flashes
Aperture: The aperture is simply an opening in which the person see through using the camera. Like the camera's "eye".

Shutter speed: Basically the time in which the shutter is open.

ISO Speed: ISO sensitivity expresses the speed of photographic negative materials.

Metering:Metering is a process which involves the camera taking a light level reading from the scene and selecting the appropriate combination of aperture and shutter speed to set the required exposure value for the picture.

White balance:White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo.

Photography Composition: The main point of the photography should not be in the middle, it should be at 2/3 point of the picture instead. That is the Rule of Thirds. The second one should be The Golden Section rule, where it is proven that some parts of the photograph attract attention more easily than the rest of the picture. The third one is taking pictures of linear elements such as road, waterways and fences diagonally. They are perceived to be more dynamic than compared to horizontally placed ones.

Photography techniques: High Speed photography, Tilt-Shift Photography, Black and White Photography, Motion Blur photography, Infrared photography, and many more.

Focus:Basically it is the camera getting a fix on a certain object you want to take a picture of and makes sure it is not blurry.

Difference between Perspective, Isometric, Oblique and Orthographic Drawing.

Perspective Drawing

Perspective Drawing is used by artists to give the illusion of space and distance.A perspective drawing is a form of pictorial drawing.A perspective drawing utilizes either one, two or three points to where the receding lines will vanish. These vanishing points are placed along a horizontal line called a horizon line. No longer will the receding lines be parallel to each other as in oblique or isometric drawings.

Isometric Drawing

If you have taken New South Wales Maths Assessments

or 2009's PSLE Math paper,Isometric drawings will not be

new to you. Isometric drawings are usually drawn with

rulers to ensure accuracy.In isometric projection,all vertical

lines on an object remain vertical while the horizontal lines

are 30 degrees horizontal.

Oblique Drawing

Oblique drawings have a set of 45° lines,a set of horizontal lines and a set of vertical lines.As long as basic rules are followed, oblique projection is quite easy to master and easy to draw quickly.

Orthographic Drawing

Orthographic Projection is a way of drawing an 3D object from different directions. Usually a front, side and plan view are drawn so that a person looking at the drawing can see all the important sides. Orthographic drawings are useful especially when a design has been developed to a stage whereby it is almost ready to manufacture.

ADMT Lesson 1: Personal Reflection

1.ADMT means to me that we can use Art and Technology to design products that will make life easier for the elderly or the disabled and we will use different forms of media to promote and advertise the product.
2.We should not be afraid to showcase of ideas as we are afraid to receive remarks but we should learn from the remarks and improve the idea.

3.I hope that I will be able to design a useful product and be able to sell it.
4.By working hard and brainstorming for ideas of what can help the elderly or the disabled in their daily lives.
