Objectives
This topic explores the technical aspects of photography applied to promotion of heritage. It is divided into four lessons:
- Photography as a tool for heritage conservation: how photography can be used as an audio-visual medium to manage and disseminate the main values of heritage is discussed. O-City World platform is presented as a tool to promote natural and cultural heritage.
- Elements of a camera: how a camera works is analysed and a series of technical tips to improve your photographs focused on cultural and natural heritage are provided. In this way, knowing the equipment, we can take full advantage to obtain a quality image that allows us to convey a series of concepts and valuable information with few words.
- Diaphragm, Shutter Speed and Sensitivity ISO: how to use some elements of the camera (diaphragm, shutter speed and sensitivity) to improve our photographs is explained
- Image composition and characteristics of light in heritage photography: the fundamental rules to know how the elements in the image should be sorted in order to correctly transmit the information of the asset are analysed. The lighting in the photography of the natural and cultural heritage varies depending on the use of the sun as the focus of light, so we must know its position all the time. The white balance allows us to select the final colour of the image. In general, we can have images with colder or warmer temperatures according to the object we are portraying. Because that, light is the main and fundamental element of photography.
Once the module is completed and approved, teachers and students will be able to:
* Apply basic notions of photography to cultural and natural heritage
The main objectives of this topic are described in the following video:
Lesson 1. Photography as a tool for heritage conservationPulsa para colapsar
The following table shows all the materials preprared for the teacher to learn (T2L) and for the teacher to take them to the classroom (T2T,S2P) for Lesson 1 of Topic 1. Photography. The description of the different types of materials (T2L, T2T, S2P) can be found here. For each material, teachers can find in this table: its description , the student workload and where the student works. Additionally, recommendations about what to do in the classroom are included (remember that one lesson corresponds to one class of the teacher with her/his students). Follow the links in the table to discover what O-City has prepared for you:
