• AV settings-allow you to adjust your aperture settings from wide to narrow aperture ring.

2.

• The Canon XSI is a SLR, which allows you to change lenses and flashes.
  

"XSI display"

1.

3.

• The button shown in 3 is the white balance, and it controls what type of lighting your in whether it is sunny or your inside a florescent lit room.
  

"rule of thirds"
1.
2. Rule of thirds is a tool to help map out a photo, and have a placement with your subjects that will help balance out the photo.


"shutter speed"

1. In photo 1 of the surfer, the photographer most likely used a fast shutter speed to stop the motion and catch the surfers air. In most action shots you would want to use a faster speed for your shutter because it is the best way to catch the shot with out motion blur.
2. In photo 2 of the nighttime traffic, the photographer most likely used a slow shutter speed to allow the camera to pick up the motion of the cars lights. we used a similar setting when we did our light painting project.
   

"aperture"

1. The photo with the little girl and her feet on the table was taken with a wide aperture. I noticed because the shallow depth of field, her feet are in focus while everything else in the photo is blurred out. The photos main focus is on her feet and the blur allows the viewer to notice it right as they look at the photo. This photo was most likely shot with an aperture around f3.5!

2. The photo with the puppy and the rock wall behind,was taken with a more narrow aperture. I noticed because the deep depth of field, the foreground and background are in focus. The photo has a really blue sky that brings the dog to the eye. This photo was most likely taken with an aperture around f22.

3. If i were trying to shoot 3-5 people and the lighting was good, and they all needed to be in focus i would use a aperture that is close to f22 to let less light into the camera which helps increase the depth of field.

4. The depth of field, is the range of focus in a photo. If your were to take a picture using a wide aperture you usually will have a shallow depth of field. Yet if you take a photo using a narrow the depth of field will be deeper, And you will be able to see all of your subjects in the photo.
