The three elements of photography that we learned about are composition, focus, and lighting. 1. The importance of focus is to create a main focal point in the photo. It attracts the eye to what the photographer wants the viewer to see.

2. Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and farthest parts of a picture. This is important to understand because without understanding of this, a photo might not have correct focus on the objects presented.

3. The exposure triangle is the intersection of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. It is important in taking photos because it relates to how light enters the camera.

4. The five techniques of composition

-Rule of Thirds -Framing -Fill the Frame -Level Horizon -Leading Lines

5. Using flash on a camera is considered using artificial light. Lights in a room or studio lights (spot lights and strobe lights) are also sources of artificial lighting. You would use natural lighting while outside because the source is the sun/moon. When you are inside, you have the option to use natural or artificial lighting. You could have natural light come through windows or you could use a candle or fireplace.

6. Peyton- I have had experience shooting photos inside with natural light coming through windows. I have also taken multiple photos while outside in the sun. Ellie- When I was in Europe this summer I took lots of pictures and had to play around with the camera to get the lighting just right.
