1. What is important about focus? How do you get good focus in a digital slr photograph?
The important thing about focus is making sure that you are not too close and not too far from your subject. ==2. Explain in your own words what depth of field is and why it's important to understand when shooting photos. == Depth of field is how much of the picture is in focus. It is important to know because other wise you can end up with pictures that are clear in the middle but blurry on the edges. ==3. 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 exposure triangle has three parts; ISO, f/stop, and shutter speed. Shutter speed is how fast the picture is taken. ISO is how sensitive the subject is to light.F/stop is how much light is being let in by the lens. **4. What are the 5 compositional techniques we use in photography? EXPLAIN don't just list.** - Leading lines: directs the viewer's eyes into the image creating principle of movement. - Rule of thirds: divides the image into thirds vertically and horizontally, where the thirds intersect are areas of most interest to the viewer, creates asymmetrical balance. - Fill the frame: subject fills the frame and may even extend off the frame. - Level horizon: when taking landscape, cityscapes use a level horizon, not a slanting horizon. - Framing: use elements such as trees to frame the subject. - Unusual point of view: change the way the viewer sees the subject, bird's eyes, ant's eyes, etc. ==5. Which lighting techniques come from natural sources and which come from artificial? When would you use one vs another? == Natural lighting is used when you want a warm picture. Artificial lighting is used when you want the subject to be in bright light. ==6. In terms of lighting what kinds of light sources do you already have experience shooting photos with? Explain. == Both natural and artificial, I have taken photos indoors and outdoors.
