Dial on back adjusts output –
modelling light on. Auxiliary lights set to slave

Soft Boxes
The model lights use soft boxes – they disperse the light and give
a softer, rounder light on the subject.
Backdrop
Is lit with a further two strobes on full power
to create a high exposure, white background.
I had to learn to use all of these pieces of equipment/ hardware which was all new to me. I learnt how to
make them all connect and flash at the same time as I press the button on the camera to capture the
perfect photos in my photo-shoot. It let me experience all different photography aspects such as
positioning of the lights, camera, and photo.

GRAPHICS CARD
7. Photoshop adobe cs5 extended version 12.0 x64: I learnt how to do everything on this piece of software such
as cutting out images duplicating it to its own layer to go onto a background and layering up all the things on
each page and how to use transparency.
In-design cs3 version 5.0.4: Using this I learnt how to produce a professional article, such as wrapping text
around edges of a photograph I took, making the numbers of each question big with smaller text 3 lines beside
the number.
I also used Powerpoint, Mac 0.5.X and Google chrome which I already knew how to use.
Also, I learnt how to use wordpress, which is where I learnt how to keep a blog and I learnt how to post things
within this, upload media, share my work with my class and how to design my own page.
