Camera enthusaists get stuck into basics of photography
The Boksburg Camera Club has recently experienced a large intake of enthusiastic new members.
To bring them quickly up to speed, Steve Koekemoer, the outings organiser, arranged a Basics of Photography workshop which was held on Saturday, July 23, at Baanbreker Laerskool.
He took them through the basic functions that appear on most cameras, the use of different lens types, focus, aperture, speed and ISO.
Lessons included composition, framing and balance. He was assisted by Magda van Vreden who gave a lecture on lead-in lines and cropping.
There were a large number of props on which the delegates were able to practise their newly gained photographic knowledge.
The 16 delegates reportedly enjoyed this six-hour workshop, with one attendee being glad she understood the setting P on the camera did not stand for ‘panic’ but ‘professional’.
