This document provides an overview of key concepts in photography including aperture, shutter speed, ISO, depth of field, modes, and exposure. It discusses how aperture controls the amount of light entering the camera, shutter speed determines exposure time, and ISO is the film speed rating. Aperture, shutter speed and ISO work together to determine exposure and depth of field. The document also explains the different modes on a camera dial including program, shutter priority, aperture priority and manual modes. It provides examples of when to use each mode and assignments for students to practice these techniques.

Here are two photos demonstrating different angles of view from changing focal length:
[PHOTO 1]
This photo was taken with a wide-angle lens around 18mm. It captures a large field of view and makes objects appear smaller.
[PHOTO 2]
This photo of the same scene was taken with a telephoto lens around 70mm. It has a narrower field of view and makes objects appear larger.
The perspective does not change between the two photos, only the angle of view changes based on the different focal lengths used. Changing focal length adjusts how much of a scene is captured rather than the perspective or point of view.
Close up photography involves taking photos of small subjects using a macro lens or other special equipment. It requires paying attention to lighting, composition, and depth of field since these elements are more challenging at close focusing distances. Both DSLR cameras with macro lenses and point-and-shoot cameras have macro modes that allow shooting subjects as close as a few inches away. Proper equipment and techniques help take close up photos that highlight interesting details rather than just snapshots.
Photoshop Elements allows users to edit photos through various modes like Quick Fix, Full Edit, and Guided Edit. It also enables photo composites through features like Photomerge. The document discusses how to import photos, perform one-click fixes, work on projects, and edit color and selections. It provides tips on cropping, resizing images for both web and print, and changing image size and resolution settings.
The document discusses various techniques for using or not using a flash in different lighting situations. It provides tips on using higher ISO settings, aperture priority mode, image stabilization and post-processing to improve low-light non-flash photos. Flash can produce washed out images while ambient light results in more natural colors; bounce flash or off-camera flash can provide better lighting than on-camera flash. The assignment is to post a photo using fill flash outside or not using flash inside to rely on ambient light.
