What is composition?
     The arrangement of visual elements within the frame of the photograph.
2.    
 Why is it important to understand & utilize composition in photography?  
           To get a near perfect photo you must apply all elements to decide what elements are in the frame and which ones are not.  All of the elements in and outside of the frame help to make the picture memorable.  


3.     Describe aspects of a “snapshot.
          A snapshot is a casual event of some event or person or object.  It is a picture clear enough to preserve some memories.  


4.     Describe aspects of a “photograph”.
        An artistic interpretation of an event or person or object.  A photograph must be composed.  All of elements must be selected and arranged to work together.  


 5.     “Photography is the art of ____discovery ________”

a.     Describe what interests you the most about this art form or what drew you to this form of communication.
Photography allows you to document important things in your life and learning how to document these moments in your life even better by learning the different settings on the camera.

Camera Basics Quiz  Group B
4.selfie        
f/ 5.6     1/8       iso 800

1.subject and large depth of field
f/ 11.0      1/13     iso 800  

2.moving subject and blur
f/ 6.3    1/15    iso 800


3.grainy     f/ 5.6   1/80  iso 6400




in photograph #1 I made everything in focus including my subject and the back round.  I made my aperture small which made everything in focus.

in photograph #2 I set my camera to the setting TV which created the blur while the background was in balance.

in photograph #3 I got a close up picture which then made my iso high which created graininess.  Zooming in on the eye you can see the graininess of the picture.

in photograph #4 I achieved my selfie by putting the camera up on a step and setting my selftimer which gave me time to run down the stairs and pose for the selfie.  I programmed my camera before setting the timer to be focused and on the portrait setting.

White balance helps to ensure the colors in the photo are accurate.  The white balance lets the camera compensate - you point it at the surface that you see as white, and it adjusts the picture settings so that what you said was white, is actually displayed as white by the camera.  This way, no matter where you are shooting, colors will remain true even if the lighting conditions change.  The aperture is the device the determines how much light comes through the lens for a given amount of time. The shutter, meanwhile, is what determines how long that amount of light is allowed to hit the sensor.

Understanding White Balance
auto
fstop:5.0   iso-800  1/20

daylight
fstop- 5.0  iso-800   1/60

cloudy
fstop- 5.0    iso-800   1/20

tungsten
fstop- 5.0   iso- 800    1/20

fluorescent
fstop- 5.0    iso- 800    1/20
custom 
fstop- 5.0    iso- 800   1/60



What is white balance?White Balance helps you get the colors in the image as accurate as your eye sees them.
Why is it important to set your white balance?By adjusting the white balance setting of your digital camera, you can alter the required light or temperature to produce the most accurate colors in a digital image.

Understanding Shutter Speeds
 Fast Shutter Speed
 Slow Shutter Speed








what is shutter speed?The amount of time the shutter is open
How does shutter speed work in the camera?  the shutter will either stay open longer or not as long 
in the photo? slow shutter speed makes a blurred subject and faster shutter speed is a frozen subject
relationship to the exposure triangle? The aperture and the iso stay the same while the shutter speed changes

ISO


aperture: 3.5
shutter speed: 1/60
iso: 100

aperture: 3.5
shutter speed: 1/50 
iso: 6400

What is ISO?  The level of sensitivity of your camera to available light.
How does ISO work technically?With increased sensitivity, the camera sensor can capture images in low-light environments without having to use a flash. But higher sensitivity comes at an expense – it adds grain to the pictures.
in the picture?  the lower ISO makes the picture less blurry but the higher ISO(6400) makes the picture more grainy.
IN the exposure triangle?  The Aperture stays the same as the iso and the shutter speed change.
