There’re some odd activities in this session for example …using your camera to take a picture of your TV remote control beam, strange! But more interesting is this section is about the main ingredient to photography, YOU! There’s a colour (blind) test for you to try out. I did it four times before I was considered of ‘normal’ vision (lol). Then there’s a colour mixing activity where you move sliders to alter the colour on one side of a shape to match the other side, only using RED, BLUE and GREEN. More understanding on how your digital camera determines and records colour is explored and explained. Actually this section loaded with lots of enjoyment, but only if you participate in the activities and have that ability and willingness to learn.

I’m starting to slip behind now with my own schedule but I’m still on course.
