Dear students,

In photography you are going to learn about cameras and to make sure you are paying attention. Don’t speak over the teacher and make sure to be creative. You should embrace your creativity and expand your horizon. Last, you should let your mind run free and have fun at all times. You will be making friends and improve on your photography. Always make sure to show love to Ms. Cauchon.

• Sunny: This works for mid-morning and also midafternoon
• Shade: shade works with a heavier shade
• Cloudy: Cloudy works for outdoor scenes with an overcast for light
• Flash: this works with a more standard off speed- light
• Incandescent: This setting works more for the indoor scenes
• Florescent: This setting works better for indoor scenes lit by bulbs

 

• JPEG: a file format that compresses at the moment of capture, is the most common image file format
• HEIF: are smaller than JPEG’s yet offer similar or even increased quality. they take up less space than JPEG’s yet loot equally good
• TIFF:  a file format that can be smoothly be converted to JPEG’s. they aren’t compressed which bring out the image as high quality
• RAW:  stores all the info originally captured by the camera, are very large and take up significant space
• DNG: was created to offer a standard RAW file format for an alternative RAW format. these files are specific to cameras and manufacturers
• PNG: are relatively small and relatively high quality. these are useful for loading images faster. PNG’s offer a total transparency which is very useful for logos
• GIF: this file format allows animation and they only allow 256 colors, GIF’s are useful for images with a limited color palette
• BMP: BMP’s saves data for each individual pixel without compression, this file format is good for printing.
• PSD: this file is used by Adobe Photoshop to save data. it allows you to store edits using individual layers rather than on the image itself.
