Did you realise that lenses for film cameras are not going to perform the same if used on a digital camera?
The 20th century saw the steady refinement of photography and over the decades it matured dramatically from images on glass plates, using large and heavy brass and mahogany equipment on a sturdy tripod (created by diligent and technically capable camera operators), to lightweight pocketsize cameras that even the most technophobic amateur can use.

Did you realise that lenses for film cameras are not going to perform the same if used on a digital camera?
The 20th century saw the steady refinement of photography and over the decades it matured dramatically from images on glass plates, using large and heavy brass and mahogany equipment on a sturdy tripod (created by diligent and technically capable camera operators), to lightweight pocketsize cameras that even the most technophobic amateur can use.
Photographic technology is a fascinating area of study that any good photographer needs to understand in order to take first-rate photos, and also identify and understand photographic problems when they occur. This course is equally relevant to digital and regular film, and it covers aspects such as image formation, light, lenses, filters, colour and the sensitivity of film or electronic surfaces that record the image.
COURSE AIMS
In this course you will learn how to:
• Describe in technical terms how an image forms when a photograph is taken.
• Explain the nature of light and how this relates to the finished photographic product.
• Describe how both the sensitivity of a photo-sensitive surface and its development influence the photographic image.
• Explain how sensitivity relates to the development of a photographic image.
• Explain the composition and manipulation of white and coloured light to create different photographic images.
• Discuss the chemical process that occurs in producing a colour film photograph.
• Explain how a photographic image may be manipulated by using optical filters or other camera attachments, other than lenses.
• Explain how a photographic image can be manipulated by using lenses.
When
This is a self paced course. The course coordinator will contact you shortly after your enrollment to help you get started.

Distance Education has become a preferred method of study for people all around the world who are looking for additional skills to help them make more money, start successful careers, turn a favourite interest into something more or accomplish a personal quest for self-improvement. And while distance-learning programs have been available from a variety of providers for some time, it is the interaction of the Internet that has revolutionised the opportunities available to students wishing to study in this way.
Lifestyle Learning Direct delivers complete online courses. However, should you have limited access to the Internet, we also have over 40 writing and lifestyle courses available in mail correspondence format. Over 15 tutors are currently working in our tutorial department within our correspondence and online schools. Based in many areas around Australia, they are all highly skilled, experienced and dedicated to helping students. This proves our belief that distance is no barrier to learning!
A little history …
Lifestyle Learning Direct began life in Australia as The Writing School, which had originally begun in the UK and branched out into Australia, New Zealand and Singapore in 1984. Since this time, the reputation of the school had grown, due both to the large numbers of satisfied (and successful) students, plus the school’s commitment to providing further specialist writing courses to satisfy student demand.
Eventually, the owners of the school, utilising their experience in the field of distance learning, decided to offer a wider variety of courses. The Sackville Academy was born to cater for these non-writing “lifestyle” courses and, under both banners – The Writing School and The Sackville Academy – the school was able to provide a wide range of products to suit the varied requirements of correspondence education.
In late 2003, the school was purchased by an Australian-owned family business. The Morris International Group, based on Queensland’s Gold Coast, has been in business since 1973, and is a dynamic organisation with diverse interests including information technology, data processing, direct marketing, property investment, tourism, viticulture and wineries. Staff and management alike share a common goal of providing customers with exceptional service, and all staff work together to achieve the Morris International Group motto – “Showing the Way”.
As the business continued to expand, both The Writing School and The Sackville Academy were brought under the umbrella name of Lifestyle Learning Direct in mid 2005. Lifestyle Learning Direct now offers a large range of courses over several delivery methods:
• correspondence with full tuition
• online courses with full online tuition
• online courses – online assessment combined with correspondence tuition
• online courses with full online assessment (no tuition)
