Motion Preview
1. You should slow down your shutter speed because the amount of time for the camera to open long enough for the image to sensor showing the movement of the subject.
2.There are two primary ways to catch motion in photography , 1. Slow Sync Flash, combines the the shutter speed with using flash that shows the elements of the photo that are frozen while the rest is blurry. 2. Panning, move the cameras along with the subject.
3.This mode allows you to set your shutter speed, while the camera chooses other settings.
4.Three methods to help with when there is too much light: 1. Small apertures: change the amount of light that comes in, 2. Decrease ISO: the lower the ISO the more longer the shutter speed is open, 3.Density Filter: changing the exposer in light similar to sunglasses.
5.You should use a slow shutter speed for panning.
6.Because it is the fastest point to focus to.
7.You should use continuos drive because it shoots multiple photos so you can't mess up easily.
8. AI servo focuses on the subject as it moves and updates the focus point in the camera.
9. The advantages of using AI servo in sports/action shots is that it will focus on the subject as it moves, basically it will stay on track focusing the entire time.
10. The BBF will auto focus for you instead of manual focus when taking action photography, you can focus it and it won't change until you decide to change it .
11. Some challenges for BBF is when you have still subject that the camera will try to find focus and the results of this is the your subject will come out in and out. The camera is looking for motion in the subject, instead of staying still.

Using wireless sync and remotes
1. You need at least two PocketWizard to fire flash remotely.
2. It transmits by radio signals 1-10.
3. It has 10 channels.
4. The PocketWizard shows a solid red color to show that a signal is received or sent.
5. You connect a Plus X to your camera with the right cord, put it on the same channel as your PocketWizard and your ready to fire!

Virtual Copies and Snapshots
1. You can only export one image at a time.
2. Only the last one that you saved will get exported in Snapshots.
3. To make a Virtual Copy image you just press Ctrl+1 after that you can edit the photos however you like.
4. The advantage of using Virtual Copy is that you can export all of them at the same time instead of exporting them one at a time.
5. If you delete your master photo your Virtual Copy will be deleted with it.

Stock Photography and Legal Issues
1. A model release is asking permission to take the photo that they model in and how they want it to be use. You need this because you don't know when you might take photos in public and want to sell it or use it.
2. You should keyword your photos because you want to get buyers attentions by using word that are emotional, bonding, beauty. Don't spam your keywords, it will hurt your work as a photographer.
3. You have to be carful about shooting band names and logos because the it does not belong to you it belongs to the people that made them. If not carful you well get rejected by the photos that you take.
4. Saving space can help when taking landscaping photography or anything else because it applies to compositions rules when taking them. By that when using text to express the photo there might or not be room for the text its self.
5. They like Royalty Free images because they don't have to worry about anyone claiming the image.
6. You should be carful when using Royalty images because other people can use the same thing that you chose but in a different way.
7. An alternative is doing right managed stock, its licensed and you will be safe when conflict arises.
8. Royalty free images are photos that are not licensed for taking photos, while Rights managed is licensed and carefully watched on what they do to sell the photo.
9. An legal issue that i never thought before is "If I photograph a large group of people and plan to sell the picture, would I need model releases from every person?"
10. This is a interesting legal issue to me because i don't when i will take photos in big or small events and need everybody to sign a model releases when i take the photos. Also i need to know if it is ok for me to take and sell the photo.

Still Life Preview
Part II
We often see flowers, fruits, or bowls.
A thing that photographers should consider doing when taking still life photos is that you should look at the lighting. This is because you don't know how it will turn out to be when you take the photo, it can come out dark or there can be shadows when the shot is taken.
Having a good Aperture is great because you need to know how much light you want in the photos or how much light you don't want in the photo so it can look great when it comes out.
Having a small aperture is useful because it will increase the exposer time.
Part III
I could do stock photography of instruments.
Magazine companies, photographers would be interested in stock photography.
Commercial photographers should considered this because it can help you on your skills as a photographer and you don't know you might get into this kind of things. Or clients might want some stock photography hanging around there house.
Part IV
Some objects that i can use as still life is my violin and bows, chess.
If I group these objects together it would make up a person or describes what that persons likes to do.
I could change the background of the photo by placing the items in a different spot or change the settings of the photos. Rearrange the items to make it look good, so it can blind in with its environment.

First Free Shoot
This is my little brother Caleb, The photo is to be surprise on getting a gift(Bottom Left corner).
Little brother Caleb, This is trying to look cute and a little sad.
Little brother Caleb, This would be, what you do when you are in a good mood.
I'm happy about that i was able to get the photo in balance with its environment, so it will go well with the photo. What I would do differently is that i would choose a good timing during the day to take the photos, and make my subject do different styles in showing emotion to bring out the photo. Also take the photos in a different angle. The thing that i learned is that I'm able to take photos that try to blend in with its environment, also that i should choose a good time during the day to take the photos.

Lightroom Presets
Warm Fog
My Presets
I did this because originally the photo was little gray for the texture of the photo. So I made it look darker and it came out pretty well, you can see little dark out lines in side the photo.
