You might think of photos and think of anything but a successful career, you might think that photographers are just wasting their time taking pictures of everything they see for no reason, you might be one of those people who get uncomfortable in pictures for whatever reason, but believe it or not, this is a very profitable job. This job is actually a great art form, there is a lot to see in life, and much of it can be art itself. Let me list the different types of cameras that can make a masterpiece for you.

DSLR

I got my information from this article.

A DLSR camera or “Digital Single Lens Reflex” camera is the best camera for interchangeable lens, and zoom ins. It has a mirror lens inside that reflects what is in front. It has a great battery life compared to other cameras.

Cell Phone Cameras

While not the best option for pictures, it has some great options to take pictures. Unlike any other camera it has a self portrait mode, or what most people nowadays call “Selfies”, which is pretty self explanatory (see what i did there), it is where you switch the lens of the phone to the view of your face. You can do pretty basic things like changing the brightness, but when you turn the phone side ways, you can change the image shape and view.

Cam Corder

This camera seems to be used to take pictures and videos in the dark. In addition:

More recent devices capable of recording video are camera phones and digital cameras primarily intended for still pictures; the term “camcorder” may be used to describe a portable, self-contained device, with video capture and recording its primary function, often having advanced functions over more common cameras.

Most professional photographers use the DSLR camera to take pictures.

Materials Used for the DSLR Camera

  • Tripod: This is used to prop up the camera so that you could get no shaky photos.
  • Microphones: So you can take a good video of an environment and put it in your work.
  • Mount: It is a feature of camera systems where the body allows interchangeable lenses, most usually the rangefinder camera, single lens reflex type or any movie camera of 16 mm or higher gauge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_mount

These can be used together in a multitude of ways, the tripod can be used with the microphone to make a smooth video. They can also change the mount to suit each shot.

Exposure Triangle

Relationship between ISO, shutter speed, and aperture, they work together to make the camera work well, adding different exposures.

We used to only be able to make art with a pen and a paper, but now we have the computer to make the best art. There is a lot of terminology when it comes to design software, it is a little daunting at first, but with time, you can learn it just fine. With this field there is a whole lot of different choices for technology. Seeing as its hard to remember it all, I will list it all here for your convenience. To start….

The Adobe CC Software Guide

Photoshop is the Adobe software where you can edit photos and make it look like a completely different image, or a beautiful work of art. Adobe Illustrator can be used to make a great looking website. Adobe In design can be used to make some great design lay outs for jobs. Adobe Aftereffects can be used to edit and create videos. Adobe Premiere can be used to make and edit audio. Lastly, Animate is the studio where you get to animate all sorts of things.

The most common software and hardware issues

1.The blue screen of death, this can be fixed on your computer by doing a system restore, downloading the newest updates, check out the hard disk cables to make sure to it works perfectly, or doing a startup repair, i found this information from this source below.

2.Malware can be easily fixed by looking in your files and deleting the problem file.

3.Frozen Screen is a pretty simple issue to solve, all you need to do to make it work again is turn the computer of and on, and if the button is not responding, than unplug the computer and turn it back on.

4.Internet Problems can be easily solved by getting a good router.

5.Overheating can be solved by using your computer sparingly and getting a good fan in the desktop.

Multimedia Presentations

Since I am in a multimedia field, i need to use all this data for presentations to show I know my stuff. Adobe photo shop can used to make a good looking cover picture for the start of my presentation that really catches your attention, I would use the Adobe Indesign to type the information and lay out the different pages. Illustrator can be used to put different drawings on the side of the information. I can also make a cute little video in adobe Premiere and attach it to the presentation. What I know for sure is, that I know what I’m doing when it comes to Adobe.
