!!!THE RULE OF THIRDS!!!

 

I chose this photo for the rule of thirds because the top of the twin tower is the third line... and because this photo is interesting to me!!!!

!!!SIMPLICITY!!!

I picked this photo for simplicity because it has a simple background so you could focus on the main subject which is obviously WTC RIP 9/11/2001!!!!!

Camera Parts

Aperture: A device that controls the amount of light admitted through an opening.

Shutter: A hinged cover or screen fora window, usually fitted with louvers

Exposure: Amount of light allowed to fall on each area unit of a photographic medium during the process of taking a photograph.

Depth Of Field: The amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus in a photograph.

F-Stop: The " f-3.5-f8"is the f stop or the maximum aperture of the lens.

Focal Length: A optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light. 

1. Mode dial:the camera takes care of exposing the picture, so all you need to do is press the shutter.
2. power switch: turns the camera on and off.
3. flash button: it gives the photo light so we can see what the photo is a night or in the dark.
4. main dial:change Focus Points, make Exposure Compensation adjustments, change ISO, and to control many more functions
5. shutter button: used to take pictures and focus on the main thing in the photo.
6. red-eye reduction lamp: it occurs when using a photographic flash very close to the camera lens, in ambient low light.
7. self-timer lamp: a device on a camera that gives a delay between pressing the shutter release and the shutter's firing
8. grip: lighting and rigging technicians in the filmmaking and video production industries.
9. contacts: the lens were it actually takes the photograph.
10. lens mount: it is a interface, mechanical and often also electrical, between a photograph camera body and a lens.
11. lens lock pin: locks the lens so the lens don't get scratched.
12. Built-in flash; a flash that is already in the camera when you bought it.
13. AF- assist beam; intelligently adjusts the camera lens to obtain focus on the subject, and can mean the difference between a sharp photo and a missed opportunity.
14. EF lens mount index; the standard lens mount on the canon EOS family of SLR film and digital cameras.
15. EF-S lens mount index;Interchangeable-Lens Compact System Camera with an APS-C image sensor, the replacement lens's 35 mm equivalent focal length is approximately 1.6 times greater, and the angle of view is more like that of a telephoto lens as a result
16. flash-sync contacts; fastest shutter you can use with flash, period.
17. hot shoe; mounting point on the top of a camera to attach a flash unit and other compatible.
18. focal plane mark; is the point from which distance is measured for various focus calculations.
19. strap mount microphone; takes sound from the camera i don't know.
20. terminal cover; used to shoot images underwater up to a depth 3.0 meters.
21. lens release button; used to finish taking the picture.
22. remote control terminal; Fire the shutter, record video, control zoom and more using this wired remote commander and your compatible camera or camcorder.
23. digital terminal ; allows you to play back the photos to a monitor
24. HDMI mini out terminal; makes the size of the picture small
25. body cap; the thing to cover the lens...

Camera History.

THE CAMERA:

1. Explain the "camera obscure" effect. How is it achieved? latin for "dark room" this was actually the first camera... the hole acts like a lens, focuses and projecting light onto the wall of the dark chamber
2. What invention during the 17th century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera? The invention was  the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses.
3. What were the parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce? The parts a glass, a dark box, and film.
4. What do modern digital cameras have in common with niece's camera?  The common thing between them re that the light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film. and guess what? The end result is still a photograph.
5. What do digital cameras use to capture an image? Digital camera carture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD.

CAMERA MODES:

1. What is the difference between the auto mode and the program mode?  The difference is  that auto has more seeings and options than program and auto has a auto flash and program does not
2. what is the portrait mode used for? How does it work? It attempts to blur out the background, camera will try to use the fastest available lens settings (aperture).i
3. what is the sports mode used for? (not just sports) How does it work? it is used to freeze motion, camera will use the highest shutter speed possible.

THE HALF PRESS:

1. Why should you do a half press on the trigger button? because you have to take time to explore the composition of the scene. the camera will return at the ready with the focus looked.

CONTROLLING FLASH: 

1. What does the symbol mean? The symbol is like a lightning bolt and it means that the flash is disable. you would use it in the sun when you don't need a flash
2. What does the symbol mean? the symboll means the flash is disable by default. u would use it when you don't want to control the flash.

INTRODUCTION TO EXPOSURE: 

1. what happens to your photo if there is to much light? The picture will be washed out.
2. what happens to your photo if there is not enough light? The picture will be to dark.

THE UNIVERSAL STOP:

1. What is a "stop." a relative change in the brightness of light.
2. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are two sons instead of one? +1 stop.
3. How many stops brighter is the new planet if theres four sons instead of two? +4 stops.

SHUTTERS AND APERTURE:

1. what affect does a longer shutter speed of have? give much more light to the film than a 1/1000 of a  second exposure.
2. what affect does a shorter shutter speed have?give less light to the film than a 1/1000 of a  second exposure.
3. what does the aperture control? setting the "aperture opening" also known as an F-Stop.
4. when adjusting the aperture, how can you can increase the amount of light? moving from f16 to f8 is:TWO STOPS brighter.
