First Photography Blog

Hi Guys, thought i would reflect on my first photography attempt. I decided to take some photographs of one of my patients in week 4, the patient had heavy build up calculus and i wanted some before scaling and after shots which i thought my patient would benefit from seeing and thought i could use in my portfolio. I hadn't done the workshop so i had a quick demo with Soph before the patient came in. the photographs didn't rally turn out very well because I didn't use mirrors so was not able to get the distal of the 7s in, however i got some front on shots which were clear and focused. I have decided not to take anymore photos until i have had the workshop but overall thought it was a good first attempt and gave me some experience with the camera.
thanks Robyn

Dear Robyn

There's nothing like hands on experience!!!! keep taking some of the easier intra oral shots even if you haven't had the workshop. It is all experience.
Well done for being brave and getting stuck into it.

I had the tute, and I still felt pretty useless when it actually came time for me to take the intra-oral pics. If it wasn't for my group members, I dont think I could have done it to the same standard. I strongly recommend doing it in groups, or at least with one other person. It's always good to have support.
