The Camera

1.The first permanent photo was taken by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in France, 1826

2. A heavily polished sheet of silver plated copper.

3. Ansel is famously known for her landscape geography pictures.

4. You need to know shutter speed, aperture, and ISO.

5. The three metering modes are matrix metering, center weighted metering, and spot metering.

6. You would center weighted metering when you want the camera to prioritize the middle of the frame.

7. It says another great example of using spot metering would be when you want to take photograph's of the moon.

8. The four camera modes are program, shutter priority, aperture priority, and manual.

9. In shutter priority you manually set the camera's shutter speed and the camera automatically picks the right aperture for you while in aperture priority mode you manually set the lens aperture, while the camera automatically picks the right shutter speed to properly expose the image.

10. Manual focus allows to photographer to personally set and focus the camera, while autofocus lets you just press a button before your about to take the photo and focus's and sets the camera very quickly.

11. Personally i think autofocus is better than doing it manually because its a lot faster and with the click of a button your camera is in focus and your ready to take a photo of your object.

12. Some of the best places and times to use flash while indoor is when your shooting at a wedding ballroom, church, and reception areas because they are prone to have less ideal light.

13. The only time when you should use flash outside is when its dark or your trying to fill the flash because the subject is poorly lit.

14. You would use a tripod so your video wont look shaky or unprofessional, and a tripod can be anything as long as its still and stable.

15. Yes, you should use auto focus because when your taking a video and you turn the camera to another object you want the subject to be in focus.

16. A good ratio to shoot is 50% close up's and extreme close up's, 25% medium shots and 25% wide shots.

17. Most modern digital cameras have four histograms, the primary one is luminosity that shows overall brightness of a scene.

18. A low key histogram you can see the "weight" of the histogram on the left side of the graph and it tapers rapidly as you move towards the center.

19. A high key image you can actually see all the data in the graph is off to the right of the histogram.

20. A clipping represents the loss of data from that region of the image. Digital cameras are known for their ability to extract detail from a dark shadow regions of an image.
