                             Photography
                           Basic Concepts 

 Fact #1. 2 exposures in one. Ambient light exposure, and flash exposure.

 Fact #2. Fill flash can be used when subject is backlit or sidelit to eliminate silhouettes or shadows.

 Fact #3. Flash exposure is not affected by shutter speed. Aperture and ISO change it, but not the shutter.

 Fact #4. Flash illumination is dramatically affected by distance. Distance increases then flash illumination cuts in half. 

 Fact #5. Camera measures ambient light and flash illumination separately. 

 Fact #6. With automatic flash metering, the flash illumination is measured after the shutter button is pressed, and the flash output is adjusted accordingly.

 Fact #7. Every SLR camera with a mechanical shutter box has a maximum flash sync shutter speed. 1/200 or 1/250 shutter speed only.

 Fact #8. Harsh lighting,washed our subject and red eye can be eliminated by using diffusers and light bouncing. 

 Fact #9. It is possible to change the order of when the flash fires using "Rear Curtain Sync". 

 Fact #10. Removing the flash from the top of the camera helps eliminate red eye and unflattering shadows.

Because it lets you focus on the main part of the picture and it blurs out what is not important.

The pupil of the eye. 2. The larger the aperture F# the smaller the opening of the lens is. 3. The larger the aperture F# is the better, less blurrier the background is, and vice versa. If the aperture F# is small then the background will get blurry. 4. All the F stops on my camera are 4.0, 5.5, 5.0, 5.6, 6.3, 7.1, and...

1. 2. my subject is animals.   3. I will probably take photos of my own animals in my home, or animals such as deer in my neighborhood. 4. The subject will be inside and outside.  5.
