====**What is important about focus? ** for photos to be the best when they're shot. **How do you get good focus in a digital slr photograph? ** What you want to do is make sure that you're in arms length from the subject. ==== ====** Explain in your own words what depth of field is and why it's important to understand when shooting photos. **Depth of field is where your view is limited to a specific item. It's important to understand because sometimes the background can get distracting and you might just want to focus on the subject itself. ==== ====**What is the exposure triangle and why is it important to making quality photos? ** The exposure triangle is an intersection of three elements. ISO, aperture, and shutter speed.  (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.) **==== ====**What are the 5 compositional techniques we use in photography? EXPLAIN don't just list. ** The rule of thirds, with lines coming out of the picture horizontally and vertically. Framing, with using an actual element to frame the picture. Fill the frame, in which the subject fills the whole frame. Level horizon, which has a realistic horizontal line across the frame. And leading lines, which are used to lead the person's view in a certain location. ==== ====**Which lighting techniques come from natural sources and which come from artificial? ** Available light and firelight are both natural light s while bounce light, fill light, and dramatic lighting are artificial lights. When ** would you use one vs another? ** I'd personally use artificial light indoors and natural lights outdoors, just so things don't get too complicated ==== ====**<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">In terms of lighting what kinds of light sources do you already have experience shooting photos with? Explain. **<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Obviously natural lighting from the sun, but also artificial lighting from lightbulbs and even flash helps out a bit. ====
