HDR Preview
1. HDR is High Dynamic Range
2. HDR is three photos with different exposures combined to make one photo with dramatic lighting.
3. The camera takes 3 different photos for you low medium and low.
4. Photoshop
5. Be careful not to combine them into one with different layers.

Landscape Previews
Tips
- When you arrive in a place you've never visited before, spend time scouting—driving or hiking to different locations, finding different vantage points. Carry a compass to figure out where the sun will rise and set, and imagine how the place would look in different kinds of light.
- Make sure the weather is gonna be okay for the day you plan on shooting
- Make sure you know what lighting you are going to use for the photos

-Flash light
-The knowledge of taking good images
Scout your locations:
1. I would like to take my photos at a park or lake.
Post an example of a photo from that location or a similar location.
Where can you go to take these kinds of photos here in the Austin area? I can go to lady bird lake or even Zilker park.
Make a list of places you could realistically take these types of photos? I am able to go to any lake near by I might be able to go to Houston and get a couple there

Light Basics And Vocabulary
Part 1
Butterfly (paramount)
What effect does it create? a nice shadow under the nose
Why use it? considered beauty shots to kind of keep it to cover neck
How many lights or light sources? 2 light source 1 to reflect
Loop
What effect does it create? highlights one side and shadow on the other
Why use it? It looks different and unique
How many lights or sources?
Rembrandt
what effect does it create?It creates a shadow on the opposite side creates small triangle
Why use it?
How many lights or light sources?
Split
strong highlight side
dramatic shows a split look
Broad and Short
What effect does this create? more of the face is lit
Why use it? More dramatic than loot
How many lights or sources? fluid motion between three light setups
Part 2
Fill Light- a supplementary light used in photography or filming that does not change the character of the main light and is used chiefly to lighten shadows.
Key Light- may determine the character of the lighting like the mood
Hair light- An Accent Light presumably limited to the top of the head. Sometimes only a Back Light with delusions of grandeur and fancy-colored gels
Background light- Reveals the character of the background and helps separate it from the subject.
Shadowless-The power of shadows is not in their potential to reveal as well as to conceal
Hard light-A relatively small, direct, usually focusable source, with or without lens, that produces strong High-lights and dark shadows.
Soft light-Diffused, Bounced, indirect light
Grey card-reflectance card used instead of a subject for a Reflected Light Meter reading
Reflector- Many items that can be used as a reflector
Diffuser-A Translucent material placed in front of a Light to soften Highlights and Shadows, reduce Contrast and increase Beam Angle.
Intensity (Strength, or how to set shutter speed and aperture's appropriate to portraits)
2:1 lighting ratio

Flash Photography Basic Concepts
Flash Fact #1
- Every flash photograph is two exposures in one
Flash Fact #2
-Fill flash can be used when subject is backlit or sidelit to eliminate silhouettes or shadows
Flash Fact #3
- Flash exposure is not affected by shutter speed
flash exposure and the effective range of your flash unit will be affected by aperture and iso
Flash Fact #4
- Flash illumination is dramatically affected by distance
Flash Fact #5
- Your camera measures ambient light and flash illumination separately
Flash Fact #6
- With automatic flash metering the flash illumination is measured after the shutter button is pressed and the flash output is adjusted accordingly.
Flash Fact #7
- Every SLR camera with a mechanical shutter box has a maximum flash sync shutter speed.
Flash Fact #8
- Harsh lighting washed out subjects and red eye can be eliminated by using diffusers and light
Flash Fact #9
- If it is possible to change the order of when the flash fires using rear curtain sync
Flash # 10
- Removing the flash the top of the camera helps eliminate red eye and unflattering shadows
- Every flash photograph is two exposures in one
