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.
external flash worksheet
- you would use external flash when you want to add more light to the subject.
- yes, if you want an accurate flash reading.
- flash synchronization is the synchronizing the firing of a photographic flash with the opening of the shutter admitting light to photographic film or electronic image sensor.
- ETTL is an acronym that stands for Evaluative through-the-lens.
- what will happen is that there will be dark bands or areas in the photo that are underexposed.
- photographers bounce the flash and use a diffuser to make a spread-out light that fills the environment.
- a slave is a mode in which it tells a flash unit to watch for incoming light, then fire it when it senses the light being produced by another flash unit.
- if your image comes out too dark or too bright, maybe check if your ISO is set up right.

Photography Career tree
the careers I am most interested in when I look at the photography career tree is video editor and graphic designer. the responsibilities of a video editor are simple really. you manipulate and edit film obviously, and to review a shooting script and raw footage to create a shot list based on the value of scenes and contribution to continuity. whilst the graphic designers’ responsibilities are to make conceptualizing visuals based on requirements, testing graphics across various media, and to create images and layouts by hand or software. the salary for a video editor is usually 3,256 per month. whilst the salary for a graphics designer is 3,230 a month. so, the yearly of these is kind of the bare minimum. the education required for a video editor are a BS degree in film studies and cinematography. while for graphic designer are a degree in design, fine arts, or any related field. so, you do need to get a good job on the field since art is a big subject.
Camera modes.
now when you first have a camera. you’re going to be very confused, especially of the different modes it has. I am going to be talking about those modes and give a quick explanation, so let’s begin shall we.
Auto mode- automatic mode is simple. cause it just does the stuff automatically. so, you can take nice pictures without the worry.
portrait mode- this mode selects a large aperture to help keep your background out of focus. this mode honestly works best if you’re only doing one subject, hence, a portrait.
macro mode- this mode lets you take a close up of your subject. Works best if your just taking pictures of small things like flowers and bugs. some issues come with depth of field while using macro mode though.
landscape mode. I wonder what landscape means. the exact opposite of portrait mode. were instead of being closer and for one subject. this mode is for land and scenery. gives a large depth of field and lower shutter speed.
sports mode- this is made for photographing fast moving objects. mostly used for sports, hence the name.
night mode- for this mode, it bests works with, you guessed it, in the night. it blurs the background. honestly great for parties and disco floors and whatnot, just colored lights in general.
movie mode- this mode changes from capturing still images to capturing ones that looks like a movie. this is best used when you’re capturing a perfect subject that can’t be still.
AV mode- this automatically chooses your aperture and ensures the best exposure. best used if trying to control a depth of field.
shutter priority mode- similar to aperture, it automatically chooses your shutter speed. best used if for taking frozen like pictures
program mode- available in some cameras, it gives you mor control over white balance and ISO.
manual mode- as I like to call it, the man mode, because you got to be a man if you want to set everything manually.
that is all you need to know about camera modes.

lightroom
these were all edited in lightroom, now you may wonder, why not photoshop? you see lightroom offers raw and simple editing, whilst photoshop is a bit complicated. another thing that lightroom offers is the fact you can edit multiple pictures and organize them, unlike Photoshop’s boring way of editing individually. the third and final thing lightroom offers is that it focuses mainly on lighting, contrast, and overall making the image look better, wowie I wonder why it’s called lightroom.
