here are ten important tips in photography. and listen to them.

1. lighting is very important for taking pictures, and I mean, very important. it’s what makes things look beautiful.
2. have detail. detail makes everything look unique. it makes people interested in your photo and like it more.
3. master aperture, ISO, and shutter speed. mastering those 3 will help make you be a good photographer.
4. stand out. be unique with your photos, the more interesting it is the more people will like it.
5. experiment a little. always change up some settings and see the results.
6. have a portfolio. if you’re going to be taking good pictures, at least have somewhere to post them online.
7. eyes are the prize. if you are taking pictures of someone, make their eyes one of the main focuses as it can show their emotions.
8. think like a beginner, if you are a master at photography, it’s best to keep a student mindset as it keeps you curious and hungry for more techniques and info.
9.  buy stuff later. start shooting before buying equipment. as you can find out what you need to fill in the gaps and be better
10. read the manual. its common sense, read how a camera works before using it.

AI is taking over the world slowly, it’s doing our schoolwork with ChatGPT, making drawings and art with Dalle 3, etc. but how does it involve itself in photography you may ask? I will explain to you just that. AI can involve itself in photography, it has been involved when digital cameras were first introduced. helping us get a nice image of our ideal shot. it also helps with facial recognition if we are trying to capture a human. it also helps with fixing red eye and helps recognize a subject. it helps with zoom as well and enhance the image. we also use ai software when we edit our photos. like with ai image generation. websites such as deepai.org and dalle-3.  which creates an image just by giving it a prompt. we also use Ai software like photoshop, lightroom, etc. to enhance our image. so, in conclusion. AI is very helpful in photography and will help us speed up image processing and enhancing, and it will not be going away for possibly forever. as it is very useful for speeding up workflow.

the TED talk I watched was pretty interesting. for one, it talks about how photography can tell a story and such. for another, it shows how photography can be impactful. it also exposes some issues going on in the world. like the slum problem in India. also, the poaching problems in Africa. in which I was truly devasted upon. overall. the TED talk did change my perspective on photography a bit.

the reason I want to go to France is very simple. The scenery is nice, I get to meet Kylian Mbappe. if he doesn’t go to real Madrid.  and to see the tower of course. overall, pretty nice place. to go too.

why did I choose Ms. Cauchon you may ask? well, it’s because she was my second option, my first was Mr. Gavin but he is always busy. so, I choose her. She’s cool because she goes straight to the point and doesn’t give us useless information, I mean don’t get me wrong when you’re dealing with sensitive equipment of course you’re going to be given the important stuff only. she’s cool overall and she is one of the few teachers to actually curse, and all the cool teachers curse. she just proves my theory even more, overall, one the best teachers I met.
