I choose Mrs. Cauchon as my favorite teacher. I choose her because I really like her class, I enjoy doing the assignments she wants us to do.  This class makes me happy, were I can enjoy what I’m doing and look forward to coming everyday. She is a good and respectful teacher. I would say a good photographer as well she has taught me the basics of using a camera. I like how when we turn in the assignments she picks the best ones and share to the class, it leaves me thinking if I would get posted on the blog. I really like how this photograph came out I took a lot but this one was my favorite because its very unique by the mirror and we see her by the mirror instead of just a picture of herself. Overall, the mirror makes the photograph stand out. I liked how the flash made her hair a bright orange color. But overall, Mrs. Cauchon is a great photography teacher.

 

1-When would you use external flash?

1. Poor lighting.
2. A fast-moving subject.
3. Eliminating or adding shadows.
4. Night photography.

2-Do you need to meter the light if you use flash?

If you are using a flash, getting a light meter that can give you an accurate flashlight reading is essential.

3-What does flash synchronization mean?

flash synchronization or flash sync is the synchronizing the firing of a photographic flash  with the opening of the shutter admitting light to photographic film or electronic image sensor.

4-What does ETTL mean?

It means Evaluative through-the-lens and is a type of auto flash exposure system used by Canon. E-TTL 

5-What will happen when you shoot faster than the camera sync speed?

By using a shutter speed at or below the camera’s sync speed, the entire sensor is exposed to the flash, resulting in proper exposure. Faster shutter speeds can cause dark bands or underexposed areas in the image.

6-Why do photographers bounce the flash and use a diffuser?

A flash diffuser is used to turn the spotlight sort of illumination to a more spread out environment filling light.

7– What is a slave?

Slave mode is mode that instructs a flash unit to monitor incoming light, and fire when it senses the light produced by another flash unit firing.

8-What should you do if your image comes out too dark or too light?

Too light either the aperture or shutter speed needs to go up.  And if there coming out dark you a fill flash.

Fill flash is a photography technique in which the camera flash is deployed to illuminate the darker areas of an image, especially the subject. When the subject is underexposed due to the deficit of sunlight and other lights or sometimes due to the backlight, fill flash is supplemented to correctly expose the subject. A fill flash can even spice up the outdoor photos. With the integration of both natural light and flash, you can bring out the optimal output. The major problem you will encounter while using fill flash is when ambient light is behind the subject. This will result in a silhouette- a dark shape of the image that you will view. In order to derive the best upshot, you can go for a 30% flash and 70% natural light. Don’t hold back to experiment by dialing down the flash as it will let you understand and figure out the correct ratio.
