Steph- Green ==1. What is important about focus? How do you get good focus in a digital slr photograph? == Focus is important because it determines how the audience views the photo. Using techniques such as the Rule of Thirds and Framing you can create focus on certain parts of the image.

You can also fill the frame or use other techniques such as leading lines and POV. == 2. Explain in your own words what depth of field is and why it's important to understand when shooting photos. The Depth fo field in my own words is how deep something ius into the picture. If an item is deeper in the photo it will have less focus and if it is bigger and closer it will have a greater impact on how we see the picture. Or in other words, it will have more focus. ==

 3. What is the exposure triangle and why is it important to making quality photos?
They all have to do with the quantity of light exposed to a picture and the effects change with different amounts of light.
 * 1)  [|ISO] – the measure of a digital camera sensor’s sensitivity to light
 * 2)  [|Aperture] – the size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken
 * 3)  [|Shutter Speed] – the amount of time that the shutter is open

 4. What are the 5 compositional techniques we use in photography? EXPLAIN
There are 5 compositional techniques we use in photography. The 5 techniques we use are Leading Lines which directs the viewer's eyes into the image creating principle of movement. Rule of the thirds divides the image into thirds vertically and horizontally. Where the thirds intersect are areas asymmetrical balance. Next is fill the frame while the subject fills the frame and may even extend off the frame and may even extend off the frame. Framing is when you use elements such as trees to frame the subject. Lastly, level horizon, when take landscape, city scape, a use of level horizon. == 5. Which lighting techniques come from natural sources and which come from artificial? When would you use one vs another? == The sun is natural, but using a flash would be artificial because you would be creating the light source. Natural lighting comes from your surroundings, such as a campfire or something that gives off light. You would use artificial lighting if you were taking pictures in darker places or indoors and natural lighting in outdoors when exposed to sun.

==6. In terms of lighting what kinds of light sources do you already have experience shooting photos with? Explain. ==

I have experience in shooting photos in natural lighting such as the sun and a campfire but i do not have much experience with a flash unless i was in a dark room. I like to take photos of outside items and nature because they are lit up with natural sunlight or light reflecting off of the environment.
