photography induction notes

We had been given an induction in the photography studio and therefore took down some useful notes that will help me for when i will be using the studio. i had learnt the following during the induction:

: I had been told of how to use the Nikon DSLR camera

: There are two backdrops for when taking a photo (Black & White) in order to create different effects as well as combine with the related genre

: how to use flash light on the camera with different lighting equipment such as the umbrella and the reflector

: The highest point on the soft box is 6.0 and the lowest is 2.0, i have been told to keep it on 3.0. the highest point has a stronger flash where as the lowest point has a more softer flash.

: The Gordox is a remote which  infared used to transmit from the camera to the lights which automatically sets the flash from the camera directly.

: The light stands are placed there to reflect the light

: There are two reflectors one silver and one gold, they botg give out different type of lights

: To take my first shot i must first set the camera on A which stands for automatic

: The other following keys on the camera stand for

M - manual    A- aperture priority    S - Shutter priority     Depth of field - foreground focus

:  My model must stand 6ft away from the backdrop in order for the image not to blend in with the colour of the backdrop
