Focus is the adjustment of the subjects distance on a lens to render the subject to be sharper. There are many way's to get a good focused picture on the camera's, one way is the manual focus where you just control it yourself. Or you can use continuous focus where the camera stays in focus the whole time if you hold down the button halfway/hold it down.===== =Depth of field:= The depth of field is when one part of the photo is clearer and not blurry making it look like that object in the photo is closer then all the blurry stuff in the photo. This is important for shooting photos because, without depth of field everything would either be focused or non focused all around but when using depth of field you are able to make curtain objects in the photo stand out and have a nice, clear, sharp photo while everything else would be blurry and out of focus. =What is the exposure triangle and why is it important to making quality photos?= The exposure triangle has 3 key elements **__ISO, Aperture, Shutter__** __speed.__ ISO is what the camera uses to measure the amount of light it allows in its photos. Aperture is the size of the opening the lens has when the picture is taken. Shutter speed is the measurement of how long the shutters in the camera will remain open. These are all parts of the exposure triangle and are all connected when taking a good photo. If one of them were to be adjusted it would affect the other's as well since they all work together in the triangle.

=What are the 5 compositional techniques used in photography?= ====The five compositional techniques we use in photography are- **Patterns-** they are everywhere and emphasizing them in photos can lead to some amazing shots. **Symmetry-** This is something you could either ignore or focus on if it has a good point of interest it could be really beautiful but if not it can be a little bland. **Texture-** When a photo has texture its alive almost 3-d but still only in a 2-d photo. **Depth of field-** This as said before allows you to focus on one singular thing to make it clear and sharp but everything else next to it blurry and far. **Lines-** This could be a very powerful element you can use them to draw the eye to key points that you would want others to see.====

=Which lighting techniques come from natural sources and others artificial?= Natural lighting techniques involve using a backdrop that will send the light back at your object or you can use a reflector (a mirror or something that reflects) allowing the light to come bouncing back. Artificial lighting techniques involve anything that's made by us such as a flashlight, candle lava lamp etc... = = =What kinds of light sources do you have experience with?= We've all had experiences with natural lighting weather we realized it or not that includes artificial since we've all have taken photos inside at least once.
