Photography - Learning to use a SLR camera Print E-mail
Written by Karli and Isaac, Snowy River Campus Students Term 3 2013   

The last two days everyone has tried their hand at photography and becoming a pro photographer.

David Tatnall came in and showed us how to use the cameras and all the different functions of a SLR manual camera. He taught us how to get the lighting and clarity of the photo just right, as well as how to use a tripod. He told us about all the different cameras and why they differ and the uses of them. He also showed us a bunch of photos that he had taken from all around the world, with different lighting and colour to give us an idea of what we could do.

David, with the help of some teachers took us down to the beach to take photos with the SRL cameras. We climbed over rocks and waited through water to get the perfect shot. When we were at the beach we saw a seal and a dead crab and took photos of both of the animals and all of the other interesting things at the beach. We have no idea what the photos look like and there is no deleting them because the cameras use film which is something I have not used in years, so we will just have to wait for the photos to come back from being developed but as David said at least we looked like pros doing it.

School For Student Leadership

School for Student Leadership is a Victorian Department of Education and Training (DET) initiative offering a unique residential education experience for year nine students. The curriculum focuses on personal development and team learning projects sourced from students' home regions. There are four campuses in iconic locations across Victoria. The Alpine School Campus is located at Dinner Plain in the Victorian Alps. Snowy River Campus is near the mouth of the Snowy River at Marlo in east Gippsland. The third site is adjacent to Mount Noorat near Camperdown in Victoria’s Western District, and is called Gnurad-Gundidj. After consultation with the local aboriginal community, this name represents both the indigenous name of the local area and an interpretation of the statement "belonging to this place". Our fourth and newest campus, currently known as the Don Valley Campus is located at Don Valley, Yarra Ranges.

Our school community acknowledges the Gunaikurnai and Monero-Ngarigo people as the traditional custodians of the land upon which our school campus is built. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their Elders past and present, and especially whose children attend our school.
