What is important about focus? How do you get good focus in a digital slr photograph? You need to use the correct focus for certain objects and based on the lighting and background. You can use soft focus to get the best picture. When getting good focus you need to look at the depth field. A good way to focus on a SLR is to use the auto focus feature on the camera. Explain in your own words what depth of field is and why it's important to understand when shooting photos. The depth field is how far away you are from your object. This is important because it will affect view of the object that is being portrayed. Depth field is important because some objects need to be taken up close whereas other may need to be taken from a far away stand point. What is the exposure triangle and why is it important to making quality photos? The three main points of Exposure triangle is, Shutter speed, ISO, and aperture. ISO is the sensitivity of light and how it affects the picture. It is similar to a tolerance level. Shutter Speed is the amount of time the lens is open and how much light is let into the camera. Aperture is the size of the lens or how much of the lens is open for the picture to be taken. These three factors affect the quality and picture to create different affects and interesting pictures. What are the 5 compositional techniques we use in photography? Rule of thirds shows the main points of a picture by placing lines in the frame where the focal points are located. Framing is use to show where the main points of the picture are located. It is an object that centers the main points of the photo and to give the object background. Fill the frame is a way to use the whole picture with different objects. The picture should be filled with different objects all in the frame. leading lines help to direct the viewer to the interest points of the photo. These lines are used to frame the picture with the picture structures and lines. Interest point of view is a key area in the picture that catches the eye of the viewer. The interest point is also the main ideas and interest to each and every photo. Which lighting techniques come from natural sources and which come from artificial? When would you use one vs another? The sun is a natural source of light and is used to create a natural setting. An artificial lighting source is a flash light or flash. The sun is used to show the subject in a natural setting such as during the day outside or with it in a window or at night with the moon. An artificial lighting source would be used when their is not artificial lighting and is took dark for the object to be seen. In terms of lighting what kinds of light sources do you already have experience shooting photos with? Explain. The different lighting sources that i have experience shooting with would be the sun and the moon as natural light. I have used flash or a tent/curtain to adjust the lighting as artificial source. I have used flash with digital cameras and phone cameras. I get my school picture taken with artificial lighting.
