I think young people make good leaders. A young person may have lots of life views depending on their experiences. The more life experiences you have, the better you can become.

The Silenced: fighting for press freedom in Mexico

PROEXPOSURE — Thu, 03 May 2012 06:50:29 +0000

PROEXPOSURE is proud to host the website of CAFOD’s photography exhibition in collaboration with The Guardian and the Committee to Protect Journalists ‘The Silenced: Fighting for Press Freedom in Mexico’ on World Press Freedom Day to commemorate reporters in Mexico who have lost their lives in the pursuit of truth.

‘The Silenced’ is a growing group of journalists and media professionals who have been killed for reporting the reality of the country’s drugs cartels and their power networks, or have been caught in the cross-fire of drug violence.

The exhibition runs 3-13 May 2012 at The Guardian, Kings Place, 90 York Way, London N1 9GU and marks the courage and determination of ‘The Silenced’ and those who continue to fight to tell the truth about the Latin American drug cartels, despite the risks.

Tips and tutorials: dusting off your camera and heading out

Tips and tutorials: dusting off your camera and heading out

So, you haven’t been out taking photos for a while! Here is a quick checklist of things to think about the night before and on the day before heading out.

Have a quick check of your camera:

First thing either recharge the batteries, change batteries or put a spare set in your pocket (nothing more frustrating than running out of battery).

Make sure there is space on your memory card. Better still put all the photos onto your computer if you have one handy and then reformat your card.

(Remember reformatting deletes all photos so you need to have them backed up first- its good to reformat at least once a month – clean up your card).

Now check the setting on your camera just in case you were taking photos in a very different situation last time you used the camera.

Check mode- are you used to shooting on P,A,S or manual?
Check ISO and WB –it’s OK to use them both on automatic but just make sure they are on the setting you need.
Check that you are shooting at the size and quality you need for the photos you are planning to take (usually the highest – you can always make them smaller but you cannot increase their size).

If you use the exposure compensation button – make sure its set back to 0.

Just take a couple of shots to make sure everything seems OK. Is the focus mode the one you like? Is everything as it should be?

Make sure there are no smudges or dust on your lens. Keep a clean cloth just for your camera.

OK so you are ready to go…shoot sharp!
