Recently, I completed the media technologies’ “Intro to Photography” in which we made a camera by hand, took a picture and then developed it ourselves. In the module, the main challenge was that all the little problems that made a huge significant difference that could affect our camera and the result. These problems included things as small as having too much light leaking into our camera, or too little or too much exposure and so much more As well, as learning how the camera works and how minor problems can have a big impact I practiced a very important skill. Finding a problem and meeting it with a solution. Although it might seem like the sympalist skill but it can be difficult and hard to find the most efficient solution.

This is a skill that I used a lot. The first time my group tried to take picture it turned out bad. We figured out that there was a little gap in the cardboard and tin. We figured out that we could use a lot more tape and feel around for any gaps. I found the problem which was there was light gaps and then I found a solution, although it was hard to figure out where the light leak came from because of feeling around. We fixed it in the solution by putting tape on all the holes even if we were not sure.

The second time, although it worked really well the picture turned out really white. We saw that problem and found out through some help from other groups that it was over exposed. So the next time we fixed that. It shows that the solution does not only have to be  from you and you can look for resources.

Through finding the problems and finding the solution, you can learn from the past. Like I did when I kept on making and improving the photograph. I could use this skill in any problem I face and I am glad I got this module to help me practice and expand on my knowledge.
