2.  1. Know Your Camera
I. White balance ,
II. Aperture,
III. Drive modes,
IV. Focusing modes,
V. Stabilization modes

18.  White balance (WB) is considered as one of the
most important settings of a digital camera.

21. EXPOSURE–THE MOST BASIC ELEMENT OF
PHOTOGRAPHY

22. • When photographers talk about “exposure,” simply mean
the brightness or darkness of a photo. It seems simple
enough to take a photo that is correctly exposed

24.  Small set of blades in the lens that controls how
much light will enter the camera.
 Aperture sizes are measured by f-stops.
 A high f-stop like f-22 means that the aperture
hole is quite small, and
 A low f-stop like f/3.5 means that the aperture is
wide open.

27.  The shutter is a small “curtain” in the
camera that quickly rolls over the image.
 Sensor (the digital version of film) and allows
light to shine onto the imaging sensor for a
fraction of a second

33.  Sensitivity of film/ Sensor.

34.  APERTURE,
 SHUTTER SPEED, AND
 ISO

35.  Out door and Indoor light.
 Shadows on Different light.
 Harsh midday sun,
 Golden hour light,
 After the sun goes down,
 When the stars come out,
 Light of windows,
 Use an external flash.

46.  The zone of acceptable sharpness within a
photo that will appear in focus.
 Large aperture = Small f-number = Shallow
(small) depth of field
 Small aperture = Larger f-number = Deeper
(larger) depth of field

50.  perspective has to do with the spatial
relationships between
 objects in your frame –
 their sizes,
 their placements, and the
 space between them.
 Where you position yourself when you take a
photo is a hugely important decision.

56.  That is all about how the various visual bits
and pieces in a scene have been organized.

57. “Rules” of composition
The Rule of Thirds,
Negative Space,
Balance or
Visual Paths.
These are ways to arrange elements in your frame that
help tell a story, convey an emotion, or catch your
viewers’ attention.
