Getting more out of your camera

 EXPOSUREIs the amount of light captured from your camera. To much exposure can make the image look washed out/very bright or if the exposure falls to short it then can then make an image look to dark

Using the exposure can damage or improve my photo in this case the need of exposure was not needed because of the right balance of light. In one of my photos the exposure was to high making it look washed out and unclear to see what the image was and in another photo the image was to dark making it also hard to see what the image was but having the right amount of exposure can give you a clear image of what the image is.

FLASH

Flash is used to produce artificial light, flash does not working when taking picture of reflective surfaces, people eyes or long distances as the light is only a short range.

I used this within my photos on a reflective object and eyes with flash on and off to see the difference flash has no use with taking a picture of and reflective image as it only damages the photo with the reflected light rather than make it clearer and also in some cases taking a photo of a persons eyes may cause them to have red eyes but some cameras are designed to prevent this.

 Aspect ratio & Megapixel

Aspect ratio describes the relationship between the width and the height.Megapixels are made up millions or tiny dots the higher the pixels the clearer the picture.

The aspects ratio made my image into more of an rectangle shape which is mostly used for TV as the framing are more longer usually people do not change the size of the photo as the normal size would be 4:3 that is already set in most cameras  

WHITE BALANCE
White balance is process of removing unrealistic colour cast.

Using white balance in my photos gave my photos more of a blue/cold image which is completely different from the original photo it also makes the actual colours within my photos unclear, so i found the use of (WB) damaging to my photos rather than improving

IOS(SENSITIVITY)

IOS is the amount of light your camera needs to take a good photo, In a dark place the IOS would be at its highest to make a clear photo in a more lighter place the IOS will be made to be on a lower level to keep your photo clear.

I used the IOS in my photos by adjusting to the amount of light there was while taking the photos. Such as in the darker place were i would not be able to see the subject clearly i had the IOS higher to make a light for a clear veiw of the subjects.The IOS improved my images because it helped make the subjects in dull setting look more clear.

AF Mode

AF means auto focus which is to do with what part of your image you are focusing on depending on the camera determines if you get to control AF mode more expensive cameras may allow you to do so.
AF mode was used in my images by taking a close up of a small object with different AF modes.The Af mode made my object more sharp and clear as it was in focus of my object i found that this had improved my images

 

BURST

Burst allows you to take several quick photos one after the other by holding down on the shutter, this is mainly used for quick moving objects that only happens for a short period of time.This is useful because it gives the photographer more of a chance to get that perfect photo when trying to capture something that only happens for a short period of time.

This was useful when taking a photo of two pupils walking down the stairs not only does it capture there whole movement it also gives you more photos to chose from and more of a chance for that perfect photo which is hard to get when taking a photo of and moving object.so this improved my photos.
