International Standards Organisation, Effects light levels of photographs

• When would we use the ‘P’ control setting on the camera mode dial

You can control the detail of the work but not have to mess around with the shutter speed or the aperture. 

• Name two important consideration when attaching the tripod base plate to the bottom of camera?

Make sure that it is thumb tight and also make sure that the arrow is pointing towards the lens, also make sure that the leaver is pushed in fully so it does not pop back out again.

• Name three important considerations when using a red-head lighting kit

Make sure that you don't touch the "barn doors", don't touch the lens because it gets extremely hot and don't shake or drop the light because the filament inside becomes soft after the light's been on for an extended amount of time, also make sure the wire doesn't become a trip hazard.

Make sure that the target is in the little green rectangles but make sure you take into consideration the rule of thirds.

• Name two technique we can use to adjust the brightness and contrast of a photograph?

Curves and levels (using a histogram), we can also adjust the shutter speed, the aperture (make the aperture larger/smaller) and the ISO.
