In the lesson we got to try out the Canon cameras on the Manfrotto tripods. The tripods needed to be bubbled before we could use them. The cameras had a number of different settings, but we kept them on the simple picture and video settings. We also used the flash on the cameras and the flip screen to capture the pictures.
We then created a blog on blogger and personalized it by changing the design. We also changed the layout by adding gadgets such as: a search browser, a link to the class and a link to the other people in the class. We did this by adding the URL of the other blogs to the front page of our blogs.
Next year I hope to record a video using the tripod on the dolly. I think that the footage captured will be very smooth and fluid.
