=Focus is an important part of good photography skills so your viewer can see what you are trying to show them. You can get good focus throughout the picture, and have a larger depth of field by decreasing aperture. =



Depth of field is how much of the picture you can see. A larger depth of field allows you to see less detail, and more of the surroundings, like a landscape picture. Shallow depth of field allows you to see more detail and less surroundings, like a macro photograph.



Aperture - The size of the opening in the camera’s lens. Shutter Speed - the amount of time the shutter is open. ISO - the measure of a digital camera’s sensitivity to light. These are related because they all work together to determine how much light is exposed to the camera. You are able to change all of the setting manually but when in auto mode, they adjust themselves.



Rule of Thirds - If you look at the photo and cut it into thirds both ways, you get four points where two lines intersect. These four points are more interesting and draw people’s eyes more than the center of the picture will. Framing - Really helps point out the main focus of your photo. Similar to when you frame a picture on the wall, the frame is there have something around the outside to draw your attention to the picture in the middle. Fill the Frame- It is important to limit the amount of negative space in your photograph, and have the focus be on the object you want the focus to be on. Sometimes it is more interesting to see the small details of the object, rather than the entire subject. Level Horizon - Your camera should be held level to create a horizon line, or a photo that is straight. If you are intending a photo to be at an angle, you want to make it obvious that it was intended to be angled. Leading Lines- Lines throughout your photo leading to the main subject is a good technique because if the photo is busy, the lines direct your eye to the subject you are photographing.

Natural lighting you could use the technique of bounce light, for example having sunlight bounce off the snow. Also naturally lighting you could use the technique of fill light. For example if you are inside and the sun shines in and only catches half of someone's face and the other half is a shadow. For artificial light you can use all the techniques including the ones you used for natural lighting. For example for bouncer you can have a spot light bounce off a white umbrella like they do when they take your school picture. Your flash could be the technique of available artificial light, because if you are in a dark room that may be the only source you have available. For a dramatic lighting technique it is most common to use a spotlight so that you have extreme shadows when shining your spotlight partially on your subject. For the most part we would use natural lighting because it makes the picture seem more realistic. But there may be times that you want to use artificial lighting to create a more dramatic picture and you are able to control how the light is hitting your subject. There are some times when you want to use both types though. For example if you are outside at night, you have the natural moonlight but you may want to use the flash so that there is more you can see. (natural lighting) (artificial lighting) Taylor - I have experience with shooting photos using the sunlight, and using a flash. I have used the sunlight to create pictures that have shadows on them or even just for taking unique pictures of nature or my friends in nature. I typically use my flash a lot and use my mirrors to create an interesting image to look at because sometimes because of the flash you can see all the colors that the light source is making. Marley - I have experience shooting with natural light such as moonlight, firelight, and sunlight, artificial lighting with a camera’s flash, and indoor lighting with other lights in the room. Majority of my photos are super close up macro pictures of nature using sunlight because I take the pictures with my phone and attachment.
