This 2 Hour Webinar will be held via Zoom on April 30th from 1:00pm to 3:00pm EST
What Every Public Safety Officer, CFI, CSI, Agent, or Wildlife Officer Needs to Know
With over 800,000 law enforcement/public safety officials in the country representing over 16,000 agencies, photography remains one of the most untrained and misunderstood tools utilized at nearly every crime investigated.
Attendees are encouraged to have with them a camera - any camera - (entire kit if available).
During this webinar, students will learn the Exposure Triangle which is the foundation for taking photographs. The instructor will breakdown each part of the Triangle and ensure the attendee understands how to find the control button on their camera (no matter the manufacturer or model) and the range of adjustments on their specific camera. Attendees will learn about the most common problems encountered with crime scene photography, how to overcome or avoid the problem, and what type and the quantity of photos necessary to properly document a crime scene or piece of evidence. Attendees will be instructed on different lenses, proper focus, and how to best format an image for a courtroom presentation.
This webinar will be live and interactive and not a "canned" or taped presentation.
After completing the webinar attendees will be better prepared to capture crime scene characteristics and evidence.
What you will gain from this webinar:
- Knowledge of the Exposure Triangle and how to apply this knowledge to take your camera off AUTO, and use it in manual mode
- Knowledge of the basic functions and features of DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras
- Awareness of the most common problems encountered with crime scene photography
- Knowledge of various lenses and their uses in different photographic situations
