What is important about focus? How do you get good focus in a digital slr photograph?
==== One thing that is important about focus is to not get closer then an arms length away from your subject otherwise you wont be able to focus. Also when you are taking a photo you want to stay still so your subject stays focused. ==== ==  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 focused the background is. The more stopped f/stops the more the background will be visible. The wider the f/stops less of the background will be visible
==  What is the exposure triangle and why is it important to making quality photos? == ====There are 3 elements of the exposure triangle these being Iso,Aperture, and Shutter Speed. ISO is the measure of a camera sensors light sensitivity. The Aperture is the size of the lens opening when a photo is taken. Shutter Speed is the amount of time the shutter is open==== ==  What are the 5 compositional techniques we use in photography? EXPLAIN don't just list. == Rule of Thirds-Making sure everything isn't centered to create an interesting composition Fill the frame-The subject fills the whole frame. Level Horizon-Making sure the horizon line is straight across the photo Interesting Point of View-Where you stand to take a image Focus and Depth of Field-Making sure you focus the image ==  Which lighting techniques come from natural sources and which come from artificial? When would you use one vs another? ==

bounce light (using a white umbrella, sheet or other white object to reflect light onto to better light the subject)
==== fill light (Subject is lit by one light source,but there are shadows so a second light source fills in those shadows, could be through bounce or flash or other) Sometimes needed even in natural lighting situations. For example: Sunny day and your subject is in the shade of a tree. Might need to fill the light. ====

dramatic lighting-one single light source that creates extreme shadows (usually a spotlight)
==  In terms of lighting what kinds of light sources do you already have experience shooting photos with? Explain. == ====I have experience using sunlight, firelight, and light in a room. I have taken multiple family photos outside in the sun. I have taken photos inside by the fireplace and I have taken photos using room light.====
