The first two chapters have shown me that my camera may
be more of a challenge to work with than the DSLR cameras students have brought
in. My camera seems to be a subcompact
camera, which offers less control. It has the following menu items: Date and
time, Share button settings, LCD brightness, red eye reduction, orientation
sensor, camera sounds, video out, image storage, language, reset camera,
computer connection, format, Kodak camera software, and “About”. This is a little disappointing, but it also
serves as an interesting challenge. The
text also pointed out that this camera is easier to carry around, which is an
advantage I didn’t really think about before reading.
I’m wondering if I will be able to compensate for the
lack of control in the camera using Photoshop or whichever editing software we
use for this class? I have some
experience with Photoshop so I know how to do this a little bit, but I’m
excited to learn more.
I liked that the book described blurring in cameras as a
potential tool, not just a flaw. I
thought the photograph of the horses was very cool. The blurring showed the horses’ movement,
which made the photo seem livelier.
I thought it was very helpful for the text to show how to
hold cameras to prevent blurring when it isn’t wanted. That is something I can definitely use to
have more control over my camera.
Overall, I like that this text helps me better understand
the challenges of using my camera but remains encouraging.
