I am learning SO much.
I'm learning heaps about the more technical aspects of photography. The mathematics behind depth of field, hyperfocal distance... far out, and I thought it was just "If I want the background out of focus, I just open up the aperture". Apparently not.
I've been shown a huge studio set up and got to sit in on a portrait shoot. I was shown and explained the lighting setup for the official naval portraits. I also got a brief tour on the area set aside for shadowless photos and for photos of small objects on a plain background. Doesn't sound exciting but I'm having a ball.
Tomorrow I'll be going out to HMAS Cresswell to start my assignment. That's to take at least 1 usable photo at an official "job" and get it from request to ready for release. Unfortunately I won't be using the Canon 1D I'll be using my own camera. And because they use Canon and I use the enemy (Nikon) I'll be probably using my own lens too. Oh well, excitement ahead either way.
