 **What is important about focus? How do you get good focus in a digital slr photograph?**
 When focusing the camera it is important to hold the camera as still as possible, so you can get the best shot. When taking a photo to get the best focus you should be no closer than an arms length to the subject you are photographing. To get good focus on an SLR camera you must look into the view finder, press the shutter bottom and let the camera auto focus or manually adjust the focus on the camera lens. ==  Explain in your own words what depth of field is and why it's important to understand when shooting photos. == Depth of field is when you focus your camera to make the back round more focused. It is important to understand when shooting photos so if you want you can have your back round more or less focused. ==  What is the exposure triangle and why is it important to making quality photos? == The exposure triangle is made up of three elements, the ISO, the aperture, and the shutter speed. ISO is the measure of a digital cameras sensor's sensitivity to light. The aperture i the size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken. Shutter Speed is the amount of time that the shutter is open. To get a quality photo you need to use the exposure triangle because the three elements combine and don't over power one another.

 What are the 5 compositional techniques we use in photography?
5 compositional techniques to use in photography are leading lines, rule of thirds, fill the frame, level horizon, and framing. Leading lines direct the viewers eyes to certain point in the picture. The rule of thirds is to have main points on the photo where the horizontal and vertical lines meet. Filling the frame means to not have any wasted space. Having a level horizon means that the horizon is level and straight across. Framing using elements outline the main point in your photo. ==  Which lighting techniques come from natural sources and which come from artificial? When would you use one vs another? == Natural sources come from outside and artificial come from inside. You use natural sources when you are looking for softer lighting and when you want more harsh lighting use artificial. ==  In terms of lighting what kinds of light sources do you already have experience shooting photos with? Explain == Both Jessie and I have experience in shooting photos with both sources of life because we have both taken pictures outside and inside.
