 What is important about focus? How do you get good focus in a digital slr photograph?
Focus identifies the subject of the photo and makes the subject more detailed. == Explain in your own words what depth of field is and why it's important to understand when shooting photos. == Depth of field is the distance between the closest and farthest objects in a picture. There has to be a certain amount of depth to a photo to make it more interesting. It is also similar to focus in that it puts more emphasis on an object at a certain depth. Understanding this concept is crucial to photography because the quality of the photo is dependent on it looking interesting, and the depth of field decides what the most important part of your picture is. == 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: Setting in the camera that impacts how grainy the subject looks. Shutter Speed: How fast the shutter closes when you take a picture. Can change how movement looks. The faster the shutter speed, the less motion blur there will be and vice versa. Aperture: The hole that light passes through so you can see the photo. Can be adjusted to let more or less light into the picture. == What are the 5 compositional techniques we use in photography? EXPLAIN don't just list. == Rule of Thirds: Don't just place the subject dead center. Pictures with their subjects in the 1st or 3rd compartment of the picture tend to be more interesting. Framing: Using objects in the photo to make other things stand out. Outlining a certain object. Fill the Frame: Make the subject take up all or most of the picture. Level Horizon: Steady hands and lining up the shot. Makes picture easy to look at. Leading Lines: Points the viewer to something else in the picture, catches their eye. == Which lighting techniques come from natural sources and which come from artificial? When would you use one vs another? == Studio comes from artificial, natural comes from outside. == In terms of lighting what kinds of light sources do you already have experience shooting photos with? Explain. == In animation I had a ton of work with lighting just to keep it consistent.
