a) What does the term "The Rule of Thirds mean? The basic principle behind the rule of thirds is to imagine breaking an image down into thirds (both horizontally and vertically) so that you have 9 parts equal parts.

b) What happens when you have a long shutter speed, and what types of pictures would you use a long shutter speed for? If you want to shoot crisp, clear photos, you'll usually want to use the fastest shutter speed possible. The primary limitation of shutter speed is available light so the faster shutter speed the less that’s being taken in. Fast shutter speed is typically whatever it takes to freeze action.

c) What's another name for aperture, and what does an aperture control? The opening of the camera Len’s diaphragm through which light passes through.

d) What aperture setting would I need to take a portrait? For shooting portraits, it is best to set a wide aperture which would be around f/2.8-f/5.6. To capture a shallow depth of field, so the background behind your subject is nicely blurred, making them stand out better.

e) What is depth of field? Depth of Field also known as the focus range, is the distance between the farthest and nearest objects in a scene which appears sharp in an image.

f) What does the term ISO refer to? ISO (International Standards Organization) refers to the sensitivity component in your camera which is called “image sensor”

g) What are the advantages of having your camera on Manual Mode? You can make an image look how you want it because you have control over all the settings, no harsh flash and change in contrasting.

h) Give me three terms that relate to exposure. Aperture: the size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken

Shutter Speed: the amount of time that the shutter is open

ISO: the measure of a digital camera sensor’s sensitivity to light

I) what is a lens and what are the three different types of lenses? Optical lens or the assembly of lenses used in a camera body and mechanism to make images of objects either on photographic film or on other media capable of storing an image chemically or electronically.

Wide Angle (10-17mm or anything less than 35mm), Normal (35mm), Telephoto (200mm), Prime (77mm), Zoom (18-55mm), and Macro (100mm) lenses.

j) What does it mean to focus your camera? Adjustment of the distance setting on a lens to define the subject sharply. In a camera, this is effected by moving the lens bodily towards or away from the film or by moving the front part of the lens towards or away from the rear part

k) What does "shooting speed mode" determine? This determines how many pictures or exposures your camera will take when the shutter is pressed down.

l) How is the "Raw" file different than the "JPEG" file? The “Raw” file is different from the “JPEG” file because while starting out when you’re first starting photography you may not realize it at first but it has lower quality and doesn’t shoot nearly as nice as when you use “Raw”.
