tips for newbie intern?

[janep]

Hi!

I got an intern job with a production company. My background is with print and text, and not photo and video. I am looking to not get underfoot while I'm learning stuff. Does anyone have any tips?

Thanks,

For the tecnicalities on exposure have a look through this thread.

Learning about Exposure – The Exposure Triangle

The reference book give at the start is very good.

The main thing is to get out there and shoot, auto if need be, taking notice of settings the camera uses. Then have a play around your self.
Think about composition and why are you taking this picture?

Once you have the ability to usually get a technically ok photograph then start thinking about composition a lot more and expanding your ability to shoot in more challenging conditions.
