Camera Quizf/7.1

    In this unit I learned a lot actually, I thought I knew how to used the camera but I learned so much more then I ever did. The thing I learned that I'm like really proud of it how to blur out the background or the foreground. 

                                          Large Depth of Field: For the large depth of field I made my aperture the main priority and fixed everything else to be even with it. I then focused my picture and made sure it was all clear and ready to go.  

f/20
 shutter: 1/10
Custom White Balance
ISO 400 

                                          Noise/Grain: To get the graininess of the picture I bumped my ISO to the highest I could for the most amount of grain I could get. I then set my aperture and shutter speed to balance it all out.

f/22.0
Shutter:1/125
Custom White Balance
ISO 6400

                                         Movement: To make my picture blurry and the background clear I left my shutter speed down on the lower side but I made sure my camera wasn't moving as the picture was taken.

f/4.0
Shutter:1/80
Custom White Balance
ISO 200

                                                Self Timer: For the self timer I used the timer button and set it for  10 seconds and got the camera set the way I wanted and then I hit the button to take the picture.

Elements & Principles of Design:

Image	E/P of Design	Rational
	Framing	Directs viewer's attention to what is important using objects or elements existing in the scene
	Repartition/pattern	Repeated consistency of an element in a work
	Birds Eye View	view from above looking down
	Rule of Thirds	Compositional rule of thumb where the whole image is divided into 9 equal parts; compositional elements should be placed along these lines or intersections
	Symmetrical Balance	One side balances or mirrors the other (Separated by a vertical line)
	Vertical Lines	Lines that run north to south -Grandness and spirituality
	Unity	All elements of a piece work together to produce a balanced, harmonious, complete whole
	Asymmetrical Balance	Different objects balance each other out on the page
	Leading Lines	Lines that lead the eyes to other points in the image (or out of the image)
	Horizontal Lines	lines that run east to west -rest, calmness, tranquility
	Diagonal Lines	Lines that run in a slant direction - Movement and direction
	Proportion/Scale	The relative size of the one object in relation to another
	Texture	The appearance and feel of a surface
	Curved Lines	Lines that deviate from straightness in a smooth, continuos fashion - Comfort, Safety, Familiarity, relaxation
	Movement/Rhythm	Shows action and the path of the viewer's eyes through the artwork
	Worms Eye View	View from below looking up
	Emphasis	Elements in the piece that are given dominance or attract attention.
	Variety	Differences in elements and principles of design that give interest to composition
	Simplicity	Singling out an item(s) from their surroundings
	Horizon Line	Used to emphasize the sky or the ground based on the placement of horizontal line where ground meets sky

What is Composition?

   1)What is composition? Composition is the way you take a picture besides just pointing your camera at something and pushing a button. Its planning out what your gonna do and how you want everything to look, so that people can see the emotion and it catches their eye. 

2 2)Why is it important to understand & utilize composition in photography?Because it adds more to your picture then just the subject itself. It shows different elements of the subject besides what you see at first.

3 3) Describe aspects of a “snapshot”. A snapshot is a picture taken that has no real point just to capture that moment in time and that when you look at it you remember things about that time.

4 4)Describe aspects of a “photograph”. A photograph is a picture that was taken with a vision not just to capture a moment but an emotion or even just another was to look at something. It's more though out and planned

    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.
;   I took from this that I can make people look at a photograph the way I saw it and show that aspects that I liked or not show ones I didn't and give people a different view on the subject hopefully.

Understanding Focal Length:

       Focal length is how zoomed in you are on you picture before you take it. A zoom lens is a lens like the one I used here where I can change how zoomed in I am. A focal lens is a lens where you only have some setting of zoom, for example you can only see a 55mm zoom and that's all that's possible. Now the focal lens probably sounds like a dumb idea because why wouldn't you want options?! But with the focal lenses are smaller, faster and take better quality pictures. 

               18mm:

              24mm:

              35mm:

              55mm:

Exposure Modes:

        A-DEP:

            A-DEP is when the camera assesses the distance between the lens and the subject in the frame and choices the aperture setting that keeps all the objects in the picture in good focus.

        AV: You pick the aperture and the camera picks the shutter speed.

        M:You pick both the aperture and the shutter speed.

        P:The camera choices the shutter speed and aperture for you and you can choice different combinations of the two.

        TV:You pick the shutter speed and the camera choices the aperture.

              White Balance is what helps the picture come out in it's true colors and not change according to the lighting. If you don't set your white balence accordingly the picture can come out orangish, bluish, or any other really. So if you set it right then the lighting will come out right and the picture will look better.
