Manual Camera Setting Activity

Posted on by Pam Doughty

This activity was proposed by Chris who asks: Can you select the most appropriate camera settings to solve a group of photographic challenges? He lists the challenges with photographs PLUS a selection of camera settings. The challenge is to match the photographs with the settings that the photographer used.

Full details for this activity are available here.

Staying at Home Movie

Posted on by Pam Doughty

Making the movie

The movie below was shot on a handheld iPhone in portrait orientation by my granddaughter.
This orientation was deliberate because of an idea I had to present the final cut of the movie.
It was shared and converted into an animated comic book in the Clips App and then shared to iOS Movie where it was edited and had music and titles added.
I chose to do this to show how it is possible to achieve an effect like this in iOS and also because most members who have an iPad or an iPhone could achieve this result.

The story behind the movie

Grandma and mum set up a municipal library and a hairdressing salon for the girls to creatively experience whilst staying at home.
This movie captured the hairdressing salon from booking in, having a braid done and paying the hairdresser.
The conversation flowed organically and allowed Amelia to talk about coronavirus just like any other topic of discussion.
It also gives a glimpse into the relationship between a grandmother and one of her granddaughters.
PLEASE share your latest memorable movie.

Animation FUN

Posted on by Pam Doughty

In AUSOM News (March 2020) Judy Young wrote ‘Let’s Get Animated’.


She told us not to panic as we didn’t need to leap out of our seats and jump up and down. Judy’s little characters can do the jumping for us.


Judy has 6 animations available on YouTube at

Although it takes time, patience and attention to detail to create even one or two-minutes of an animated movie the process is FUN!
