Characteristics of Columns

• Includes research and facts.
• Should be fair and accurate in the information they use.

• Have a genuine interest in your readers.
• Write for your readers instead of yourself.

Don'ts

• Embarrass anyone without real reason.

Basic Adjustments in Lightroom and Motion Preview

PRESETS:

1. Presets are basically a way to apply a bunch of changes in one click. 
2. 

3. The preset I'd like to try is for desaturated sports. LINK

MOTION PREVIEW

1. The photographer got this photo by using a slow shutter speed and a tripod so that the middle thing came out still but the moving people had motion blur.
2. 3 Tips I'll Remember:

1. Use a slow shutter speed
2. Use a low ISO
3. Use a smaller aperture if it's too bright

3. I think I'll try shooting some roads in Austin to get light trails from the cars.

RAW Camera File Format and Photography

Three advantages of a RAW file: 

• higher in dynamic range (ability to display highlights and shadows)
• the complete (lossless) data from the camera’s sensor 
• uncompressed

One disadvantage of a RAW file:

• requires special software to view and edit

Three advantages of a JPEG file: 

• a standard format readable by any image program on the market or available open source
• fairly small in file size
• immediately suitable for printing, sharing, or posting on the Web

One disadvantage of a JPEG file: 

• lower in dynamic range

1. All the information in all the pixels within the image because it's not compressed.
2. White balance, contrast, highlights, shadows, colours and saturation.
3. The camera might not have the RAW format, the RAW files are large files, and you can't convert JPEG to RAW but you can do the opposite.
4. RAW files give you more flexibility and processing options which is important because editing is usually more important than shooting the photos.

First Free Shoot

My dog, Jackie, staring intently at the food being held off-camera.
After the photo, she quickly devoured a "Beggin' Strip". 

Ruby taking a break before chasing the ball once again.
Chasing tennis balls is her absolute favorite activity.

My German Shepherd, Ruby, relaxing after playing catch for a while.
She later found a cozy spot and took a long nap.

1. I was happy about how the pictures came out.

2. If I was to do something differently, I would have gotten pictures in more interesting poses and used a different lens.

3. I learned that dogs are difficult subjects because they're so random and it takes lots of patience to get good shots.
