  1. Lighting is everything because it helps us observe and know when the light (ISO) should go either up or down to let in more or less light.
  2. Details are very important as well because it shows the image more in depth and helps us understand what we’re doing and or looking at.
  3. Knowing your controls is the most important things, to know how to place certain things.
  4. Putting yourself in someone else shoes is also something you can do; it helps show what they’re thinking and how you can incorporate that into your own photographs.
  5. RAW images allow for more forgiving post work with more data and details.

  8. Be precious about what you subject your eyeballs to. Look at amazing work all the time. Set your bar high. Find the social networks of people who do great art.
  9. We all need a little reminder every once in a while that we’ve gotten a little rigid with our style. It happens to beginners and pros alike – we learn what we’re good at and we stick with it.

External Flash Worksheet

  1. We would use external flash for dark settings, portraits, or when a subject needs a shadow to bring in more 3d elements and feelings.
  2. No, we do not need to meter flash because it gives the right amount of light as it uses our camera settings.
  3. It synchronizes the firing of a photographic flash.
  4. Evaluate through the lens.
  5. When you shoot faster than the camera sync speed, the second curtain starts to close before the first curtain has fully opened, resulting in the exposure being captured by a slit that travels down the frame
  6. Bounce flash diffusers provide a different approach to softening the light.
  7. A slave (optical slave) is a device that’s connected to another flash or large strobe that triggers that device to fire when it “sees” another flash firing.
  8. Fix your ISO.

Gel Potraits

I noticed in the photo the lighting is yellow and how it reflects off the subject. The hat really insinuates the outfit more and brings more personality. The colors are nice. And the facial expression and head tilt are nice as well.
