Achieving each Scenario: I shot the first photo by setting up my tripod so I would have a nice still shot, I then zoomed in to have a nice, small depth of field and then focused in on the subject and did by best to blur out the background. For the second picture I asked my mom to move her leg back and forth while I then set up the camera for the correct shutter speed to capture the movement of the leg and freeze it. The third picture I used my dog Chewy who is 13 years old and made him stand still and set my ISO to a lower one so it would be grain free and used the correct light meter since it was darker in my kitchen to properly light up the picture. Lastly for my final picture I set my camera on my tripod again and set my timer for my camera to 10 seconds and zoomed in on my to get the background out of the picture and spun in circles to get a blurred motion selfie.

Summary on Camera Knowledge: So far what I have learned in photography class is how to properly set up ISO to the lighting and get the proper shutter speed to either a fast moving subject or a slow moving subject, also how to measure aperture for the correct lighting as well. Aperture and ISO were pretty simply for me to grasps but Shutter speed seemed to take a good while for me to understand, but once I practiced and kept using it, I finally understood how to set it up in the right way to freeze a moving subject and have little to no blur. I've learned that ISO is sensitivity to light and how to properly expose a photo (the less light in the camera the more grainy a picture will be and the more light in the camera the void of grain will be). Shutter Speed is the amount of time the shutter is open to take a picture in either a dark or a light setting (the slower the shutter speed the blurrier the picture and the faster the shutter speed a more clear picture). Aperture is the size of the opening of the lens that permits light to the digital sensor. (the lower the aperture/f-stop the less light is let in and the higher the aperture/f-stop the more light is let in). White Balance also helps you get the colors in the image as accurate as your eyes see it. (different sources of light, produces different colors)
