1. LECTURES
DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

EXPOSURE SETTING
- Exposure : In Photography, Exposure is the amount of light which reaches your camera sensor or film.
- The main parts of camera :
  1. Camera body : Shutter, Image sensor, LCD screen
  2. Camera lens : Aperture/Iris
- Camera body is a light proof box.

- There are only two camera settings that affect the actual "luminous exposure" of an image : Shutter speed and aperture. The third setting, camera ISO, also affects the brightness of your photos.

1. IRIS : Is control the flow of light entering the lens, measured by f-stop, indicated by sequence of number : f/1, f/1.4, f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22, f/32.  The lower the f-number, the larger the lens opening.

2. SHUTTER : The shutter is a small plastic sheet that opens and closes to allow light onto the film or prevent light from reaching the film.
- Shutter Speed : is measured in seconds : 1/1000s, 1/500s, 1/250s, 1/125 s, 1/60s, 1/30s, 1/15s, 1/8s, 1/4s, 1/2s, 1 s, 2 s, 3 s...

3. ISO : Originally referred to the sensitivity of film - "it's light gathering" ability. For digital photography, the signal gain - of the camera's sensor. ISO Camera settings are : 100,200,400,640,800,1600,3200,6400.

LENS PERSPECTIVE
- There are wide angle lens, standard lens and tele lens. Appropriate lens provided desire framing, lens choice affects angle of view.
- Different lens are designed for different purposes. Lenses can be categorized by Focal Length.
Fig 1.6 Comparison and Type of Camera Lenses Week 5 02/11/2023
Type of Camera Lenses :
1. Focal Length : The shorter the focal length, the wider the angle of view and vice-versa. Its the measurement (in mm) from the optical center of a camera lens to the camera's sensor.

2. Depth of Field : The proportion of the image that is reasonably sharp and in focus. The smaller the aperture you use, the greater the depth of field.

Type of Lenses Perspective : 
- Wide Angle Lenses : Is especially useful for landscape photography or street photography. With wide angle lenses, almost everything is in focus, unless your subject is very close to the lens.

- Standard Lenses : Offer a fairly accurate representation of what the human eye sees, both in terms of visual angle and perspective. Images created by standard lens are perceived as more natural than those taken with other types of camera lenses.

- Tele Lenses : Great for isolating a subject that is far away. It allow you to photograph subjects from a distance thanks to their magnification

DSRL VS SMARTPHONE
- There are Pro and Con between DSRL and Smartphone : 
Fig 1.12 Pro and Con between DSRL & Smartphone Week 5 02/11/2023
- DSLR cameras are designed to capture images. Phone are designed to carry out a multitude of functions.
- Phone cameras are very limited by size. The size of lens and the size of the sensor that captures the photos. Entry-level  DSLR have much larger lenses and sensors than mobile phones do.

After I done the shazam, I moved to my own reflection. Firstly, I used Quick selection tool to select the object and removing the background. Then, I used adjustment and filters to adjust my picture to the hearst mansion.
