How Did the Lessons on Depth of Field and Photography Techniques Prepare Me to Take Pictures for My Magazine?

  What was the impact from the lessons on depth of field on the preparation for my magazine? The lesson my teacher gave on the topics of depth of field and photography techniques helped me in many ways to get ready for the photos needed in my magazine. First, we learned what depth of field meant, depth of field is the distance between the nearest and furthest objects that allows for the image to be focused on camera. Also, when taking photos depth plays an important role in pictures by making two-dimensional subjects into three- dimensional causing for the photo to be more attractive towards the viewer.

 How to Write a Caption?  When writing a caption, you want to make it short and quick but also providing context for the picture answering the who, what, when, where, why, and how. It is really important that those are answered because it helps the reader understand what's going on in the picture, who's in the picture and where it was taken place at. There are two types basic and expanded captions. Basic captions identify the people in the picture and describes the action in the photo while expanded captions includes the same information but usually with a quote and goes more into detail. To write a caption you first want to start by researching and finding out the who, what, when, where why and how of the photo. After finding this information you will than need an action lead to start your caption off followed by describing the names of the people included in the photo along with explaining the action in the photo.  Why are Captions Important?  Captions are imp...
