Eternal Goosebumps: First Day in Visual Communication

So it's been like 309482 years since I last wrote in this blog haha..

I am currently in 3rd year college taking up AB Communication Arts. And for this semester I have Visual Communication as one of my class subjects and it is facilitated by Mr. Rey Mendoza. For our first meeting he gave us a brief introduction on the proper use and the basic functions of a DSLR camera. That is actually a good thing because I'm interested in photography but I'm more interested in videography. Though I don't have the camera and the proper equipment, yet, as long as I'm interested in something I'll make a way to enhance my knowledge.

Photography

"Drawing with Lights"

For our first meeting Mr. Rey Mendoza discussed to us about the Shutter Speed, Aperture, and ISO.

SHUTTER SPEED- shutter speed or exposure time is the length of time a camera's shutter is open when taking a photograph.It controls light in different ways.

APERTURE- it is the hole in your lens. The lower the aperture the brighter, and the bigger the hole the faster.

ISO- it stands for International Standard Organization. If the ISO is higher the appearance of the image will be brighter.

He also taught us the different Image file types:

JPEG- (Joint Photographic Experts Group) it can support up to 16 million colors.

GIF- (Graphic Interchange Format) it can only support 256 colors

PNG- (Portable Network Graphics) it supports transparency.

And let's not forget the 3 types of lenses:
