//**What is important about focus? How do you get good focus in a digital slr photograph? **//

Focus is important because it makes sure the image is completely clear, and if you're zoomed in, it will keep the image from being a large blob. You get a good focus by being still and not just pointing and shooting the camera.

//**Explain in your own words what depth of field is and why it's important to understand when shooting photos. **//

Depth of field is changing the lens size so you can have different objects in focus in the background or the foreground, depending on how much depth of field you have.

//**What is the exposure triangle and why is it important to making quality photos? **//

The exposure triangle keeps ISO, shutter speed and aperture in equality to produce a great photo. It is important because exposure is like a lighting form, so it will change how your photo turns out.

//**What are the 5 compositional techniques we use in photography? **//

Rule of thirds, Framing, Fill the Frame, Level the Horizon, and Leading Lines.,

//**Which lighting techniques come from natural sources and which come from artificial? When would you use one vs another? **//

Natural light includes things like sunlight, moonlight, firelight, and candlelight. Artificial light includes bounce light, fill light, camera flash, and dramatic lighting. You would generally use natural light for happier, less dramatic photos, and artificial light would be used for professional photos or something dramatic.

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

I've used natural light, and normal lights within our house. Along with this I also often use the two different lights in my own room. One is blue and the other is red, with results in very cool photo graphs. I've also used a flashlight in the dark. ~Anja
