**Address the following in your post.** What is important about focus? How do you get good focus in a digital slr photograph? Focus determines the clarity of the picture, how close or far you choose to have the picture. To focus in a digital slr photograph f course one has to open or turn on there camera, then instead of letting the camera focus explore the different settings of the camera. Don't be afraid to try all the settings and see what you like, yet also you can manual decide what you want to focus on moving the lens from left to right. 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 nearest and farthest object in a photograph. This is important to always remember because when shooting a picture you decide what fills the space, but also it is important to understand because it allows you to create a unique picture if you understand what you can do.

What is the exposure triangle and why is it important to making quality photos? The exposure triangle is 3 elements that go in to the exposure of a photograph. The first aspect of the exposure triangle is ISO. ISO is the measure of the sensitivity of the cameras lens in light. Along with ISO there is aperture. Aperture, is the size of the lens when the photograph is taken. The last aspect of the exposure triangle is the shutter speed. The shutter speed plays a huge role when it comes to taking a photograph because if the object you are trying to photograph is moving, the shutter speed should be faster than it normally would be. When thinking about taking a photograph, make sure to keep the 3 elements of the exposure in mind.

What are the 5 compositional techniques we use in photography? Which lighting techniques come from natural sources and which come from artificial? When would you use one vs another? Natural Lighting: Is used for creative photos, senior pictures and creates natural shadding Artificial Lighting: This is used for typical family photos or structured photos In terms of lighting what kinds of light sources do you already have experience shooting photos with? Explain. In my own experience natural lighting in photographs is what I have worked most with, I am used to taking pictures of the family and nature during the day to get the natural lighting. I personally have not worked with any other lighting than natural light. I have never played around and worked with the other lighting so I the natural lighting was always my go to because I didn't know how to change the lighting.
