My Favorite Teacher With Bounced Flash

The first image is of the world geo, world history and IB psychology teacher Mr. Marquez. I have had him since freshman year and have formed a close teacher-student bond with him. He is charismatic, outgoing, lenient and fun. Apart from school related work, we cover world news, funny drama and conspiracy theories.

He is in his early 30s, got married in June of 2022, has one dog and likes to workout. He is very family- oriented and is passionate for teaching. He loves buying shoes every week and is a foodie. His class is very fun to be in and has a nice ambient.

The woman below is my sophomore English teacher Ms. Atchley. I love Ms. Atchley the most! She is sweet, kind, funny, warm hearted and the best teacher ever. Her class was the most fun and her way of teaching was clear and in a way where every student understood. Again, she is the sweetest human being ever.

What Every Beginner Needs to Know Read and Write

  1. setting the exposure using the histogram: the camera’s LCD screen might be a good way to tell if what you’re doing is right, but it’s not entirely reliable in conditions like harsh sunlight. The best way to tell if your exposure is correct is by consulting the histogram.
  2. RAW: Shooting in RAW format will give you access to the full capabilities of your camera.
  3. Selecting focus points manually: learning to change the AF points manually is a useful skill. It will improve focusing accuracy and reduce chances of missing important shots.
  4. Learn all AF modes: Most cameras come with different autofocus modes like One-shot AF, Servo AF and AI Autofocus. All of these modes have different uses, depending on subject and situation.
  5. Aperture priority: having complete control over aperture means control over depth of field. This is a great setting for shooting portraits with a blurred background.
  6. Shutter priority: gives you complete control over shutter speed while making all the other settings automatically, according to the selected value. This is a great setting for situations where you don’t want the shutter speed to go over or under a specific value.
  7. control motion blur: Motion blur often comes from using a shutter speed that is too slow for holding the camera in your hands. Every photographer has a maximum low speed they can use.
  8. manual white balance: All digital cameras have a few white balance presets.While they can do a fairly decent job, it is recommend learning to set white balance manually, according to each lighting situation.
  9. drive modes: The first mode allows you to shoot one frame at a time. It great for studio work or when shooting anything you have complete control over. CL is great for portraits when you have an expressive model and don’t want to miss any interesting faces. CH is the shooting mode for sports, wildlife and anything that moves fast.
  10. ISO: Lower values are great when there is plenty of light to work with. Higher ISO values are needed for working in low light.
  11. Auto ISO: auto ISO will help you when shooting hand held. It will increase or decrease the value in order to allow you to shoot with a shutter speed fast enough for hand held operation.
  12. exposure compensation: It is a +/- scale that will tell your camera to increase or decrease exposure, depending on your needs. It works for all semi-automatic modes (P, Av, TV) and will influence exposure in increments.
  13. manual exposure: full manual control

HDR Photography

HDR photography is a technique where multiple bracketed images are blended together to create a single beautifully exposed photo.

I believe my hdr photo is nice but not my best work. It could’ve been better exposed. It could’ve also been better saturated. However, the vibrance of the sky and the clouds I added give it color and contrast. The red lines on the wall create leading lines. The trees give it a pop of green. The mountain are the point of focus. The colors all go good together. Next time, I plan to shoot when it is very bright, or a sunset. That would bring my pictures better contrast.

Introduction to Using Strobes

  1. professional light has 2 categories: a kit with a flash head and power pack, or a monolight kit
  2. most common types of light modifers are umbrellas and softboxes
  3. reflecting umbrellas produce a diffused and soft light due to the larger size of the reflecting surface
  4. silver-lined umbrellas are the most efficient and can focus light more narrowly than the other types
  5. white umbrellas have a wider spread of reflected light
  6. gold umbrellas produce a warmer tone
  7. stands and grips are used to support your light sources, strobes, and even light modifiers or backdrops
  8. there are two main types of light stands: lightweight stands and C-stands which are more heavy duty
  9. C-stands are frequently used in the video industry due to their durability and stability
