 * Focusing, Lighting and Composition **

__** Focusing: **__ =What is important about focus? How do you get good focus in digital slr photograph? =
 * You want to focus the camera and hold it still while you are taking an image. A way to get good focus in a digital slr photograph is to change the shutter speed and the ISO.

__** Depth Of Field: **__ =** 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 of how close or far the camera is to the subject. Its important to understand depth of field because, If your camera is too close to the subject, it will not focus. It also helps to have a larger aperture as well.**

__** Exposure Triangle: **__ == 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 exposure triangle is a balance of Aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Aperture is the opening of the lens and determines the amount of light that you let into the image. Shutter speed is, the amount of time that the shutter is open. You want a higher speed for an activity like surfing or any other sport. A smaller speed is for slow moving subject or no movement at all. ISO is the indication of how sensitive film is to light. A lower ISO number means its less sensitive to light.
 * It is important to making good quality photos because you want the image to look good and have balance.

__ **5** **Compositional Techniques:** __

What are the 5 compositional techniques we use in photography?

 * The 5 compositional techniques we use are, the rule of thirds, Framing, leading lines, filling the frame and level horizon.
 * The rule of thirds is having your subject the main point of interest. You want to avoid putting your subject directly in the center of the rule of thirds. Framing adds a sense of depth, it also helps to draw the eye to the main point of the photo. Framing also adds dimensions.Leading lines is used to create interest to your image. A line in your image can affect the image's mood as well. Filling the frame is letting your subject fill the frame of the camera which you can zoom into but move closer. Finally, level horizon. You of course want to hold the camera steady, but a horizon line should be straight across the image.

__** Other terms of lighting I used: **__

>
 * Natural sources of lighting is light from outside, like the sun. Artificial light is a light inside your house or in a building.You would use natural light when your shooting outside when its really bright and sunny out. You would use artificial light, when your inside of a building from a light being used.
 * In terms of shooting, I have experience with both artificial and natural. I used natural lighting when I take pictures of sunsets. I used artificial light when I take photos of plants indoors and of my pets.
