=What is important about focus? How do you get good focus in a digital slr photograph? = Focus is important so it doesn't looked like a blurred mess and so that people know what the subject of the picture is. Depth of field is how much or how little of the shot is in focus. Having a large depth of field means that most or all of the shot is in focus and having a smaller depth of field means that only a part of the shot will be in focus and the rest will be blurry. It is important to know how to use it so you can utilize different depths of field in your photos. =What is the exposure triangle and why is it important to making quality photos? (HINT...there are 3 parts to the Triangle make sure you explain all three and how they relate to each other and making a good photo.) = The 3 parts of the exposure triangle are ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. ISO is the measure of the camera's sensitivity to light, aperture is the size of the opening of the camera lense, and shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter is open. These all relate to each other because ISO is the camera's sensitivity to light and the larger aperture, the more light is let in, also if you use high ISO, you can get faster shutter speeds. All three are important to making quality photos.
 * Explain in your own words what depth of field is and why it's important to understand when shooting photos.**

=**What are the 5 compositional techniques we use in photography? EXPLAIN don't just list.**=

=
1) Rule of odds - images are more visually appealing when there is an odd number of subjects. ======

=
2) Rule of space - the framing and the look-space direction will  also give a different meaning . ======

3)Rule of simplification- Don't need to include any elements in the picture, so it doesn't distract you
4)Rule of symmetry - It means to have balance 5)Rule of curved lines - It defines the outline of shapes. can divide, unify or accent parts of a composition

Lighting techniques that come from natural sources are fire, sunlight, or moonlight. Artificial sources are lights, lamps, and camera flash. You usually use natural light outside for nature photos and then use artificial light when taking more mysterious pictures. =In terms of lighting what kinds of light sources do you already have experience shooting photos with? Explain. = I have experience with shooting with mostly sunlight and camera flash. I tend to have the best photos with those. I have experience with shooting with mostly camera flash. I usually get the best pictures using flash
 * Which lighting techniques come from natural sources and which come from artificial? When would you use one vs another?**
