Define these 35 words in a word document and then copy and paste your definitions in a blog post titled Photography Definitions:
pixels – a minute area of illumination on a display screen, one of many from which an image is composed
image resolution – is the detail an image holds.
megabyte-a unit of information equal to 220 bytes or, loosely, one million bytes.
megapixel-a unit of graphic resolution equivalent to one million or (strictly) 1,048,576 (220) pixels.
gigabyte- a unit of computer information equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes
jpeg- a type of computer file used for storing images; also : an image that is stored as this type of file
bitmap-a representation in which each item corresponds to one or more bits of information, especially the information used to control the display of a computer screen.
exposure-the amount of light per unit area
tiff-a computer file format for storing raster graphics images, popular among graphic artists, the publishing industry, and both amateur and professional photographers in general. The format was originally created by the company Aldus for use in desktop publishing.
png- a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression.
White balance- the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo.
Histogram- A diagram consisting of rectangles whose area is proportional to the frequency of a variable and whose width is equal to the class interval.
Aperture- A device that controls the amount of light admitted through an opening. In photography and digital photography, aperture is the unit of measurement that defines the size of the opening in the lens that can be adjusted to control the amount of light reaching the film or digital sensor.
Shutter speed-exposure time is the length of time when the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light, also when a camera’s shutter is open when taking a photograph.
Depth of field-focus range or effective focus range, is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image
Aperture priority-on a camera mode dial, is a setting on some cameras that allows the user to choose a specific aperture value while the camera selects a shutter speed to match, thereby ensuring proper exposure.
Shutter priority-a setting on some cameras that allows the user to choose a specific shutter speed while the camera adjusts the aperture to ensure correct exposure.
Bitmap- A representation in which each item corresponds to one or more bits of information. The information is used to control the display on a computer screen.
Exposure-a tool to create beautiful photo narratives
Watermarking- originally faint imprints on paper that could only be seen at a specific angle. This process was designed to prevent counterfeiting and is still used today.
optical zoom-on a digital camera, optical zoom is a true zoom feature. It allows you to zoom in (or out) on the subject in the LCD or viewfinder. This will enable you to get a closer view of the subject before taking your picture.
digital zoom- Digital zoom is a method of decreasing the apparent angle of view of a digital photographic or video image. Digital zoom is usually accomplished by scaling portion of the image data (usually center) to have same aspect ratio as well as pixel dimensions compared to the original image.
bracketing- the general technique of taking several shots of the same subject using different camera settings
light meter-An instrument for measuring the intensity of light, used chiefly when showing the correct exposure in photography.
image stabilization- a family of techniques used to reduce blurring associated with the motion of a camera or other imaging device during exposure.
noise- a sound, especially one that is loud or unpleasant or that causes disturbance
lag time, the period of time between two closely related events, phenomena, etc., as between stimulus and response or between cause and effect: a time-lag between the declaration of war and full war production. Origin of time-lag Expand
hot shoe, A hot shoe is a mounting point on the top of a camera to attach a flash unit and other compatible accessories.
fisheye being, having, or produced by a wide-angle photographic lens that has a highly curved protruding front, that covers an angle of about 180 degrees, and that gives a circular image
macro- short for macro lens
telephoto-a lens with a longer focal length than standard, giving a narrow field of view and a magnified image.
wide angle- In photography and cinematography, a wide-angle lens refers to a lens whose focal length is substantially smaller than the focal length of a normal lens for a given film plane.
DSLR- A digital single-lens reflex camera (also called a digital SLR or DSLR) is a digital camera combining the optics and the mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging sensor, as opposed to photographic film.
dynamic range-the range of acceptable or possible volumes of sound occurring in the course of a piece of music or a performance. The ratio of the largest to the smallest intensity of sound that can be reliably transmitted or reproduced by a particular sound system, measured in decibels.
digital negative- open lossless raw image format written by Adobe used for digital photography
exposure compensation- is a technique for adjusting the exposure indicated by a photographic exposure meter, in consideration of factors that may cause the indicated exposure to result in a less-than-optimal image.
3 People Injured In Alabama Church Shooting
In a church in Alabama, a mother, child, and pastor, were shot by a man who allegedly tried to start a fire in the tabernacle. The man was the kid’s father and the mother’s boyfriend. The man shot all three and fled the scene, he was later captured by police. They are all alive, but the mother is in critical condition.
Obviously the guy was very abusive, but that is no reason for him to try and kill his problems. I believe that we live in a completely flawed world that has no hope. The child had no say in any of this, so I don’t know why he was shot. He should be put in jail for attempted murder. There was not really anything that could have been helped in this case, once again it was an angry man with a gun.
I believe that once again, the government officials are going to want to strengthen the gun laws, and if events like this keep happening, they might actually be successful. The world is becoming more and more flawed every day, and this is the world we have to live in. The world I going to see these events and realize that if the U.S can’t protect their own citizens, then how are they going to help other countries in need. The world is becoming more chaotic, and the government is trying to take our guns away. I think they will be very unsuccessful.

Iran’s Supreme Leader: There will be no such thing as Israel in 25 years
This article is covering the agreement with Iran to reduce their uranium stockpile for The Islamic Republic being lifted from sanctions.
The Obama administration had signed a treaty with Iran to reduce their uranium stockpile, in order for the sanctions on the Islamic Republic to be lifted. In response to this agreement, the supreme leader has stated that Israel will not last 25 more years. There is not really any room for another meaning for what he said. There have been meetings about stopping the terrorism of Iran.
I honestly believe that the leader of Iran is way over stepping his boundaries. Iran and The Islamic Republic have been trying to get rid of Israel for a very long time but they have not been successful, so I honestly don’t think they will be this time. With allies like the US and UK, there would be another world war before Iran could even step foot in Israel. The United Nations would have a major issue with this as well. The UN was made to protect smaller nations from being taken over by a larger country, and that is just what they will do.
The world will have a fit about this, because it was a verbal threat to an allied country. Israel has many more countries that would back them then Iran would, especially due to the terrorism. The agreement was just made to get rid of a major portion of their uranium, so this gives a worry that they will ignore the agreement. This was a verbal threat that will not stand unpunished. I do believe that we will have our soldier move into Iran once again.

Georgia Officer Probably Shot By Fellow Officer
A Georgia officer was called in about a burglary in a house, but he was not truly aware of the situation. Reporters believe that he was actually shot by one of the fellow officers with him instead of the homeowner, who was also shot. It was unclear, but the investigators believe that the homeowners had committed no crimes. Three officers are on administrative leave.
I feel that if the officers simply got the wrong address, that this could happen to anyone, and it could end worse. I personally feel like officers should keep better control over their happy trigger fingers when it comes to them being nervous about a situation that they are nervous about. This personally makes me pretty angry, because not only were the homeowners not doing anything wrong, the policemen went in with guns blazing without completely understanding the situation. I honestly feel like the other officer shot the one that was injured. I feel like all of this could have been avoided with more precaution.
This is honestly going to add to the point of gun control, because even if the civilian was unarmed, the government would still bring up the possibility of an officer getting shot on duty. This event will make it harder for civilians to own guns, whether or not it was their fault or not. The whole idea of guns kill people would be made stronger, but we all know it is the person. I do personally believe that officers should have to take more precaution, and that the precaution is enforced. This will be a big topic because of the enforcement on gun control.

I have lived through poverty all my life,
No hope for a better future or plan to be a wife.
I have seen bad things a occur out side,
I also knew a guy that took a stolen Cadillac for a ride.
The houses on the hills are what I dream of,
So I may one day look upon the city from above.
I was to young to realize that I was poor,
Always looking out the window for more.
To know I will one day comeback,
It makes me think why I would run back.
I can’t escaped what I have been through,
All I can do is hope for a better life.
“In English my name means hope. In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting. It is like the number nine. A muddy color. It is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday mornings when he is shaving, songs like sobbing” (10).
This quote sticks out to me, because it symbolizes and foreshadows the sadness that have happened and will happen. Esperanza might be the main character, but the quote says the dad is listening to sad music. Why is the dad listening to sad music? Is it because he is sad that his life has not turned out how he wanted, or because he is sad he can’t provide nice things for his family. The author most likely wrote that Esperanza means sadness to help foreshadow the events to come. Her name means hope in English, and sadness in Spanish. The reader can conclude that this was added into the book on purpose in order to show that there is hope in America for a better life, and in Mexico, where they previously lived, there is only sadness. There are many different themes in this section, which makes it a very good quote to analyze. The major theme in this is sadness. Many people say that we are defined by our name. Our name is our identity. Even though her name means hope, she has no hope in America. She is a Mexican girl, with no money, and no body knows who she is. There is not much chance for her to have a good life. Maybe her name actually does mean sadness.
I chose the word, because this is what I think of when I imagine what the area looks like around where Esperanza would live. Poverty is a big theme of the story, because they don’t really have any money at all, and their yards and such are probably very unkempt with trash everywhere. This is what defines the people that live in areas like this. They tend to be classified as poor, like Esperanza’s family. The boards over windows, crumbling house, and overgrown foliage everywhere is how Esperanza’s house is described in the book. It is not a perfect representation of what Esperanza’s house looked like, but this is how impoverished areas tend to appear. These people don’t really have anything. I don’t think that her condition was as bad as people that live in like Rio or Africa, but she is still very poor. This is why she has to eat rice sandwiches for lunch, and not the usual sandwich. There is nothing they can really do about their poverty either, especially if they are minorities, any where they go there will be racism. Almost in every chapter of the book, there are traces of poverty. Whether it is talking about the house they live in, or the area in which they live, poverty is everywhere. Esperanza wants to try to escape this life when she becomes older, but there is no outrunning your previous life, you will always be followed. The only thing she can do is hope for a better life.
