I was invited by HK Federation of the Blind to be in charge of a beginners summer photography workshop for their members’ children. There were 9 students at age of 8-16. My task was to teach them some basic concepts for photography thru samples, exercise, and life demonstration.
These are some of the contents covered in the workshops:
- What is F-stop
- What is shutter speed
- What is ISO
- Lens differences (Wide angle v.s. Tele)
- Do’s & Don’ts (Things to watch out when taking a photograph)
- Angles (Bird’s eye view, Eye Level, Worm’s eye view and their effects on the subject)
- Key components to a photograph
- Bounce card v.s Direct Flash
- Light Painting
- Handling of camera
- Caring for the camera
I had great fun with my students during these two 3-hour workshops. Every student was very attentive and they all passed my oral tests at the end :)
I must thank HKFB again for giving me such opportunity and looking forward for more fun classes in the future.
