The reason focus is important because it grabs attention from people and makes the image more interesting. When a person looks at an image, he/she’s eyes will automatically lands on the focal point of the picture which gives them interest to hold to the image. To get a good focus, we could use creative modes instead of manual mode. One example of creative mode is Aperture priority, this mode allows us to choose our own focus (on a single subject or multiple). This mode allows the camera to choose an appropriate shutter speed.
 * What is important about focus? How do you get good focus in a digital slr photograph? **

Depth of Field is basically known as a zone of sharpness in a photo where the sharpness appears in the focus. This zone varies in pictures, some images have small zone of focus(sharpness) which is called shallow depth of field. Shallow DOF contains large aperture (small f stops) where large amount of light is entered to the lens which results of low depth of field (only some part of the image is focused). Likewise, Deep DOF contains small aperture (large f stops) where very small amount of light is entered to the lens which results of high depth of field (the whole image is focused). It is important to understand DOF because when we want to focus on one part, we should know what kind of aperture we should use. Therefor Depth of field is the core part for photography.
 * Explain in your own words what depth of field is and why it's important to understand when shooting photos. **

** 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.) ** Exposure is divided into three elements, these elements are interrelated with each other in photography: Aperture, shutter speed and ISO are always related to one another in photography. For example, if the f/stop is low which means more light is entering the lens and therefore there will be faster shutter speed. The ISO will be lighter.
 * Aperture is the opening of lens when a photo is taken. Aperture depend on how much light is entered into the lens (the result of depth of field).
 * Shutter speed is the amount of time shutter is open. It is measure in seconds. If the shutter speed is less, we could see the movement of the picture whereas if it is large, we could see the snap of the fast moving image.
 * ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. Low ISO settings are for lighter situations and high ISO settings are for darker situations.

** What are the 5 compositional techniques we use in photography? EXPLAIN don't just list. **
 * Rule of thirds breaks an image into thirds (horizontally and vertically). The points where the thirds intersect will make the image more interesting. Rule of thirds will give a unique look to photo.
 * Framing is a technique where it draws attention to the subject of your image. It gives your image a sense of layers and lead the eye to the focal point. It also makes a person admire about the picture crossing the frame.
 * Fill the frame gives the image an interesting look It directly shows the main parts of the image.
 * Level horizon: makes an horizontal line across your image. Lead the eye to the focal point and the whole image. Different levels of horizons creates different emotions to the image.
 * Leading Lines: leads the eye to the main point of the image. It creates interest in people to go along the lines and to watch the focus point. Different types of lines can create different moods for the image.

Natural light mainly comes from sun and moon light, inside natural light comes from fire and the light from windows. Artificial light comes from the light in the room, computer screen light and many more. Artificial lighting has 3 parts: available artificial light, bounce light and fill light. We mainly use Natural light for landscapes and wild photography and artificial light for studio photography.
 * Which lighting techniques come from natural sources and which come from artificial? When would you use one vs another? **

** In terms of lighting what kinds of light sources do you already have experience shooting photos with? Explain. ** I have lot of experience with natural light because whenever I shoot photos, I always like take pictures in natural light (nature photography).
