A Class D audio amplifier uses pulse-width modulation (PWM) to amplify audio signals with high efficiency of around 90-95%. It works by comparing an audio input signal to a high-frequency triangle wave, generating a PWM signal that drives an output stage. A low-pass filter then removes the high-frequency components, leaving the amplified audio signal. While more efficient than linear amplifiers, Class D amplifiers can have imperfections like dead time between switch transitions that introduce distortion. Dead time as small as tens of nanoseconds can generate over 1% total harmonic distortion. Proper timing of gate signals is important for low distortion.

This document summarizes a project in Reaper, an audio editing software. The author imported audio clips from YouTube and recorded voiceovers to create a radio advertisement. They overlapped audio tracks and added volume controls to blend the clips together. Shortening the ending voiceover allowed the author to keep the final advertisement within the required 30 second time frame.
This photograph was taken indoors with a high ISO to capture a drummer reenacting another photographer's composition in black and white. Minor editing was done to convert it to black and white and crop the sides. The photographer found it challenging to recreate the pose but thought focusing on just the drummer worked best. Photoshop was used to apply a monochrome filter. Details like the drummer biting his drumstick show his instrument and personality. It would be suitable to advertise the drummer's band in a music magazine, especially if on the page of an interview with him.
Depth of field uses blur to focus the viewer's attention on a specific part of the composition by blurring other areas. Using manual focus allows more control over depth of field than auto settings.
Shutter speed controls the duration that the camera's shutter is open, affecting how motion is captured. Faster shutter speeds freeze motion while slower shutter speeds blur motion.
Aperture controls the amount of light entering the camera, affecting exposure. The right aperture depends on lighting conditions - a wider aperture admits more light while a narrower aperture admits less light. Adjusting the ISO can also impact exposure by making the image lighter or darker.

The document discusses several rules of photography including the rule of thirds, framing, leading lines, balancing elements, symmetry and patterns, and depth of field. The rule of thirds involves placing the subject off-center at the intersection points of an imaginary three-by-three grid over the photo. Framing uses natural or man-made frames to focus on the subject. Leading lines guide the eye through the photo from foreground to background. Balancing elements places the main subject off-center and adds another object to fill empty space. Symmetry creates a strong focal point with mirrored or balanced images. Depth of field controls what is in or out of focus to direct attention.
Storm Thorgerson is a creative photographer known for his work with Pink Floyd. He takes unusual approaches that are distinct from ordinary photography. One photo for a Pink Floyd album cover uses depth of field so band members further away are less defined. It also features a photo within the photo, showing Thorgerson's signature style. Another photo lays out the band's instruments and equipment in an interesting composition, with details like "Pink Floyd" written on the bass to add interest without making the band the main focus. Thorgerson's experimental styles produce unique, visually engaging photos.
