When would you use external flash? When you want to fill in shadows or add light to your subject in a dark or low-light setting.

Do you need to meter the light if you use flash? Yes, you need to meter the light if you use flash, unless you want to rely on the camera’s automatic settings.

What does flash synchronization mean? Flash sync is a computer-controlled system that synchronizes your flash and shutter release.

What does ETTL mean? ETTL can mean different things depending on the context. In photography, it stands for Evaluative Through-The-Lens, an auto flash mode that improves exposure.

What will happen when you shoot faster than the camera sync speed? Black bands are the result of your shutter curtain blocking a part of the image during the exposure. This is what happens when you use shutter speeds higher than the sync speed.

Why do photographers bounce the flash and use a diffuser? Bounce flash diffusers provide a different approach to softening the light.

What is a slave? 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.

What should you do if your image comes out too dark or too light? You can use the exposure compensation setting on your camera to correct for under or over exposure.

Stands and grips are used to support your light sources, strobes, and even light modifiers or backdrops.

Reflecting umbrellas produce a diffused and soft light due to the larger size of the reflecting surface. They are mounted in such a way that the strobe light is actually facing away from the subject or model.

Most strobe lights allow you to completely remove the reflector and attach different kinds of light modifiers.

Wide reflectors produce a larger pool of light and a softer light quality, narrow reflectors produce smaller pools of light and a harsher light quality.

If you’re shooting outdoors or with complicated modifier setups, you are going to need a lot of power to overcome the sun, or the light loss caused by the modifiers.

Head/pack systems have a big advantage in the power department. Whereas, if you’re shooting indoors or inside your studio, monolights will probably be more than enough for regular work.

Head/power pack kits also offer faster flash durations than monolights, which can really come in handy when you want to freeze action during fast motion. They also have faster recycle times.

Professional studio light sources generally fall into one of two categories: you can get a kit with a flash head and a power pack, or you can get a monolight kit.

Symmetric power packs split power equally between multiple flash heads.

Assymetric power packs allow the user to vary the power supply to different flash heads.

Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the United Kingdom and the United States during the mid- to late-1950s

This artist named Andy Warhol does pop art. this is considered pop art because of the different colors that make it pop out. His artwork is taking peoples picture and editing it with crazy colors. I like his artwork because everything pops out and makes it interesting.

The difference is that both raster file formats share similarities, there are some key advantages and disadvantages to each type. RAW files are significantly bigger than JPEG (and any other) image file formats. You need to process and convert a RAW file into a JPEG or another relevant format before you can open and edit it. If I was shooting for an event, I would shoot in raw to get all the details because the format captures the highest level of detail. It can often be easier to edit exposure. If it was a larger event, I would do JPEG because its quicker to export files and they are more smaller meaning you can take more picture.

Lastly phone camera is a great invention or photography because they make capturing moments easier for people and for people that can’t afford a better camera. So that makes it much easier for people to take pictures. With phone cameras you can take high resolution pictures anytime and anywhere without having to buy a high-quality camera that’s very expensive and these photos you take on phone cameras can be easily saved for memories. These three are great inventions I think that are great for our lives today and have improved.

I would be interested in a photo assistance.

Some responsibilities are Setting up studio/location lighting for various styles of photo shoots – (SNL Bumper shoots for hosts, bands, photography for SNL sketches Assist photographer with lighting and composition, styling, and props Manage photo equipment inventory and maintenance Generate photographic content for various Education and Children’s Media projects as assigned by Managing Photo Editor

The average salary of a Photo Assistant is about 35 thousand dollars.

I found this interesting because it sounds like a nice job to do, and you can work with someone which makes it feel like it would be an easier job.

Employers hiring for the photo assistant job most commonly would prefer for their future employee to have a relevant degree such as Bachelor’s and Collage Degree in Photography, Communication, Technical, Associates, Art, Education, Graphic Design, Fashion, Marketing, Visual Arts

Auto mode tells your camera to use its best judgement to select shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, focus and flash to take the best shot that it can. This mode will give you nice results in many shooting conditions.

Portrait mode your camera will automatically select a large aperture (small number) which helps to keep your background out of focus. Portrait mode works best when you’re photographing a single subject so get in close enough to your subject.

Macro mode lets you move your closer into your subject to take a close-up picture. It’s great for shooting flowers, insects or other small objects. When you use macro mode, you’ll notice that focusing is more difficult as at short distances the depth of field is very narrow.

Landscape mode This mode is almost the exact opposite of portrait mode in that it sets the camera up with a small aperture (large number) to make sure as much of the scene you’re photographing will be in focus as possible.

Sports mode attempts to freeze the action by increasing the shutter speed.  It is ideal for photographing any moving objects including people playing sports, pets, cars, wildlife etc.

Night mode is for shooting in low light situations and sets your camera to use a longer shutter speed to help capture details of the background, it also fires off a flash to illuminate the foreground (and subject).

Movie mode This mode extends your digital camera from just capturing still images to capturing moving ones.

Aperture Priority mode (A or AV) is really a semi-automatic (or semi-manual) mode where you choose the aperture and where your camera chooses the other settings (shutter speed, white balance, ISO etc.) to ensure you have a well-balanced exposure.

Shutter Priority Mode (S or TV) is very similar to aperture priority mode but is the mode where you select a shutter speed, and the camera then chooses all the other settings.

Program Mode is like Auto but gives you a little more control over some other features including flash, white balance, ISO etc.

Manual Mode you have full control over your camera and need to think about all settings including shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, flash etc.
