A Complete Guide to Manual DSLR PhotographyLearnPick
It’s a commonly known fact that most beginner photographers use the auto mode on their DSLR cameras to click snapshots in the best possible manner.
It’s a fair enough practice; there’s no denying this fact but, at the same time, you must also remember that the auto mode of a DSLR doesn’t use the camera to its full potential.
So if you are willing to step out of your comfort zone to the "manual” mode, this presentation can help.

Understanding Exposure Triangle in PhotographyAbhijit Ghosh
The exposure triangle is a common way of associating the three variables that determine the exposure of a photograph: Aperture, Shutter speed, and ISO. One must balance all three of these to achieve a desired result, an adjustment of one requiring adjustments of at least one of the others. They do not only affect exposure, but are also the largest determiners of the global appearance of an image; thus, their mastery is absolutely crucial both for technique and composition.
Objective:
1. To learn how to use the exposure triangle to set a correct exposure in your camera.
2. To learn about the link between ISO, shutter speed and aperture.
3. To learn what aperture is, and how to use it creatively.
4. To learn what shutter speed is, and how to produce blur or freeze motion photos.
5. To learn what ISO is, and how to prevent 'noisy' photos.
Target Audience: Photography Enthusiasts
Agenda:
• To understand Correct Photograhy Exposure.
• To understand the components of Exposure Triangle.
• To know how to balance all the three elements of Exposure Triangle to achieve a desired result.
• Understanding the purpose and value of exposure is a must for photographers, particularly beginners who are serious about developing their craft.
Expected Outcomes:
By the end of the ppt/pdf, the participants will be able to:
1) Better understanding of each of the three exposure settings, how they are measured, what they do, and how they interact.
2) Better equipped to manipulate the exposure of your images, as well as the artistic presentation of motion, depth of field, and digital noise.
3) Better control of the manual mode in camera.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

1. Terminology
Focus is the clarity of detail in an image.
It should be clear and sharply defined.
Focus
The image on the left is
“out-of-focus”.
The image on the right
is “in-focus”.
2. Terminology
Exposure is the amount of light the image
sensor captures when taking a photo.
Overexposure
Too much light will wash out
the color and make it too bright.
Exposure
Underexposure
Not enough light will make it too
dark.
Exposure control:
Aperture
ISO speed
Shutter speed
3. Terminology
The shutter speed
controls the duration
of the exposure, or
how long the light will
be able to enter the
camera.
Shutter speed
A faster shutter
speed will enable a
photographer to
capture movement.
4. Terminology
Aperture is the “opening” or
“closing” of the lens to control the
amount of light entering the
camera.
Aperture
It is the aperture that
determines a photo’s “depth of
field” (range of distance in
which objects appear in sharp
focus.)
Aperture is measured
in f-stop numbers.
5. Terminology
ISO determines how sensitive
the camera is to incoming light. ISO speed
A low ISO will
produce a
higher quality
image.
The fuzziness
is known as
“noise”.
8. Parts of the camera
Body
The body is the main part
of a digital camera.
This is where the
“electronics” are located
such as the controls and
settings as well as the
image-processor and
other necessary features.
The body does not have a
lens, unless it is a
“compact” camera (point-
and-shoot). TIP: Never, ever, ever touch the mirror.
TIP: When changing lenses, minimise the mirror’s
exposure to dust or small particles.
9. Parts of the camera
Interchangeable lens
Interchangeable lenses are lenses that can be
removed from the camera body.
This enables a photographer to choose the lens
that is most suitable for their task.
Lens cap
The lens cap protects
the lens from dirt,
dust and scratches.
The smallest particle or
scratch on the lens can
ruin a photo.
TIP: Never, ever put your
finger on the lens.
TIP: Only use a lens cloth
to clean the lens (even a
tissue will damage the
lens).
10. Parts of the camera
Card slot SD cards
This is where the external
memory card is loaded.
Physical size:
SD card (blue)
Mini-SD (green)
Micro-SD (red)
Capacity:
SDSC (Standard) 1 MB - 2 GB
SDHC (High) 2 GB - 32 GB
SDXC (eXtended) 32 GB - 1 TB
Greater storage capacity will
enable you to take more photos
using higher quality settings.
SD = Secure Digital
11. Parts of the camera
Flash The flash is used to illuminate (brighten) the subject in poor or
dark light. This is very important to use when inside.
12. Parts of the camera
“On” and “Off”
Always turn the camera “off’ when
you are not using it. This will
enable to battery to last longer.
Shutter button
When the shutter button is
pushed down completely it will
take the photo.
If the shutter button is pushed
halfway down, it will “autofocus”
your image.
13. Parts of the camera

30. How to take a photo?
1. Planning … Think about it
2. What is the purpose of the photo?
3. What do you want to achieve?
4. How will you achieve it?
Before you begin …
Is the battery charged?
Always check if the battery is full.
Is the lense clean?
Always use a lense cloth to avoid scratching the lense.
Ensure there is enough light
Natural light is best (sunlight)
If you’re inside, raise the blinds and open the curtains to let in as much light as
possible and, if you can, move your subject near the window. If you’re limited to
artificial lighting (anything that uses electricity), you’ll want to make sure you place
the lamps in a way that they’re fully lighting your subject because artificial light tends
to be uneven.
