Compositionlight+and+focus

What is important about focus? How do you get good focus in a digital slr photograph?
==== **Focus is important because it gives the person a clear emphasis on the image they are taking. To get good focus in a digital slr you have to make sure you are a arm length away from the object, only because if you were really close your camera would not be able to focus as clear as it would when taken a arm length away.** ==== ====  Explain in your own words what depth of field is and why it's important to understand when shooting photos. ==== ==== **It is important to understand depth of field because when taking a picture that goes back for ever the front of it will be focused on the most as when look to the back it will get smaller and blurier.** ==== ====  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.) ==== ===**ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed is the major elements of the triangle. When taking a picture you need to change these three elements to what the area you are in is like, in order for the picture you take to turn out good.**===

Second, Texture which is when the object has texture and is shown by the lighting it is in. Third, symmetry which is strong composition which can lead to a great shot. Fourth, depth which impacts the composition of an image. Lastly, line which draws the eye to key focal points. ===

 Which lighting techniques come from natural sources and which come from artificial? When would you use one vs another? ===== === Lighting from natural sources is outside, inside. Then, lighting from artificial sources is all different lighting sources (light bulbs, flash). If you need a soft setting you would use artificial lights, if you needed natural colors then you would use the natural lighting. ===
