What is important about focus? How do you get good focus in a digital slr photograph?
Focus is an important detail of photography because it is showing the focal point of a picture and really making it stand out. To get professional-looking focus in a digital slr photograph, it is important to not get too close to the object you are trying to focus in on, but stay at about an arms length away for the best results.

Explain in your own words what depth of field is and why it's important to understand when shooting photos.
If I were to explain depth of field in my own words, I would say it is when a camera focuses on the foreground, middle ground, or background. This is important to understand while taking pictures because it makes the viewer of the picture focus on the main focal point of the picture. ==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 three parts to the exposure triangle are shutter speed, aperture and ISO. Shutter speed is the amount of time the camera's shutter is open. Aperture is how big your shutter opens. ISO is the camera's sensitivity towards light. If you balance these three different features of the exposure triangle you can end up with a very elegant picture.

What are the 5 compositional techniques we use in photography? EXPLAIN don't just list.
**Rule of thirds:** Rule of thirds is a very commonly used technique and can be used for almost any picture or situation. **Framing:** If you frame a picture, it really points out the focal point of the picture and adds a good natural frame to the picture. **Fill the Frame:** Filling the frame allows you to zoom in on a picture to focus on something other than the object itself, maybe like the texture or colors. **Level Horizon:** By creating a level horizon it gives the picture a crisp touch and makes the picture appear even.
 * Leading Lines: ** Leading lines is great for a picture that would seem to be moving, because the lines make the viewer's eyes move through the picture.

Which lighting techniques come from natural sources and which come from artificial? When would you use one vs another?
Natural lighting is light used from the sun, moon, or the outside. Artificial light is any other light that is man made. Natural lighting is only used outside and artificial lighting is used inside or outside, or whenever and wherever you want pretty much.

 In terms of lighting what kinds of light sources do you already have experience shooting photos with? Explain.
I actually never really take pictures, but the lighting of choice would be natural because outside pictures in the sun are very elegant.
