Or at least help you make the picture look good with any type of lighting. It also tells your camera how to register color temperature.

This is my collage. It shows all the things I like and things I like to do. On the top left I have an image of the LA Dodgers logo. I put that image there because I like baseball and the LA Dodgers is my favorite baseball team. Next to that I put an image of flowers, Arctic Monkeys, Queen, and the Eiffel tower. I put the image of flowers because I really like flowers. Arctic Monkeys and queen are two of my favorite bands. I put the Eiffel Tower because I like Paris and I hope I will one day be able to go visit Paris France. I put a picture with the designer books and an image that says vouge .I put those to images because I like fashion and I thought that those images would be good. I included one of my all time favorite movies. The movie is called 10 things I hate about you.

I really like to bake so I put a picture of cookies. I also love dogs so I also put a picture of a puppy on the bottom right. I really like Vintage stuff like vinyls. I own many vinyls so I thought it would be cool if I added a picture with vinyls. I like Tyler the creator so I put a picture that says Call me if you get lost on the top right. Ariana Grande is another one of my favorite celebrity’s. She is such an amazing singer, she has great talent, and is beautiful. I overall just lover her and her music so much. One of my Favorite singer’s is Harry styles. He is such an inspiring person to not just me but many people all over the world. So I added an image of him on my collage too. I also added his butterfly tattoo he has.

I added that because I honestly just like how pretty it is. He also always says (T)reat (P)eople (W)ith (K)indness. I think that TPWK is an important think and I thought I would add it too. Last I added an Electric guitar on there because during the pandemic I bought myself my own electric guitar and I started learning how to play. I only know how to play a couple songs because it is and was different to learn many songs when you don’t know nothing about knowing how to play the guitar. I haven’t used it in a while because of school so I might of forgotten some things. But when I have time I try to practice because I am still learning how to play it.

1. The camera mode I used was on aperture priority (AV). I used this mode because it seems the easiest too work with.
2. I think I do because I focused it where you can see the flowers first.
3. I think I edited them okay. I made the background black so you can focus on the main thing.
4. I think I would use take the photos outside and not inside and maybe use a different object.
5. Honestly I don’t know. This was an easy assignment so I didn’t do much but I did work on it more than I usually do so maybe but I don’t know.

What is action sharp? Action sharp is when you want the subject to be in focus with clear lines, crisp details, and no blurring. When trying to capture a perfect action shot you have to first get your settings right. Then you need to freeze the action. To do this you’ll need to choose a fast shutter speed. After that you need to do add motion. You will want to use a wide aperture, such as f/3.5 or lower.

It will create a narrow depth-of-field, and it helps the person or thing stand out, as the background distractions will be blurred. Picking your spot is very important when doing action sharp because when capturing an action sharp photo it all has to depend on whether you have a short or a long zoom lens. If it is possible, it’s a good idea to put yourself in a position where the person or object will be coming towards you. So basically it is just a good idea to get in the middle of the action. Hitting focus and getting the time right is really important too.
