We will look at a range of camera kit and discuss what equipment to bring in the following weeks. Before next week search the internet and bring three images which inspire you in some way. Think about why these images inspire you and what you would say about them if asked.

Show and tell 1: Images which inspire you. For next week: People - take a picture of someone (someone in your family, a friend, bonus points for taking a picture of a teacher). You must ask for permission to take the picture (no candid shots). Think about how you show them. Will you use the zoom to flatter your subject or will you go wide for a strange effect?
 * Week 2** Tuesday 14th September
 * Introduction to the camera and lenses:** Types of lenses; digital magnification factor; perspective.

The difference between "Program Mode" and "Auto Mode" and why you should be using Aperture Priority (AP) or Shutter Priority (TV). Show and tell 2: People images For next week: Make two images, one to show creative use of the shutter speed to freeze motion, one to show blurred motion.
 * Week 3** Tuesday 21st September
 * The creative job of the shutter speed.**
