Hi All
For those of you who wish to avoid a written journal of reflection and enjoy sharing your learning experiences collaboratively, use this blog to share your photography learning issues. You can upload your photos (intraoral only to avoid identification of individuals) and share your pitfalls and improvement strategies. Last year students were also sharing the best manual settings they found for each different intra oral view. Use this blog as an alternative to an individual journal of reflection. Get your artistic juices flowing........
Have fun
Sophie

I have just completed the first two complete sets of dental photo's on fellow students. It didn't take very long once we got going, and I thought they weren't too bad. The profile shots were the easiest, and just some advice: don't panic too much about your first take, Sophie did say they are not meant to be perfect the first time. I thought the intra-oral pictures were the hardest, because it is not very comfortable for the patient and it is hard for them to stay perfectly still. Personally, I didn't think my intra-oral pics were that good, but I didn't want to hold anyone up.
Please respond to what I have written and give your own advice - I really dont want to write a journal!!!!

Dear Acacsia
I think blogs are much better than journals also. So don't fret I will always respond. The workshops are just an introduction and an orientation to the camera. You need to do some further reading, especially the chapter that I have posted on MyUni under the photography folder. Intraoral photography takes time and patience to master. Its hard!!! But once you have mastered it like evrything else it becomes easy. This module gives you a taste of what peer learning and constructivist learning is all about. So group work and sharing ideas and hints is essential. Lets start sharing some specific difficulties and see if we can explore the solutions together as a group.
I dont think I could have done it without my fellow students in my group. I do have a question: when we were taking the lateral view photo's, we didnt use a mirror. I think they turned out well, but in the Bengel's paper on MyUni, he says to alsways use a lateral mirror. Also we all had trouble with the lingual view. The mirror didnt fit into some people's mouths (like mine, my arch was too wide for the mirror to fit nicely in). As a consequence, they pics didnt turn out that good.
