• JPEG: A compressed format that reduces file size, making it ideal for everyday photos and quick sharing.
• HEIF: A modern alternative to JPEG that stores high‑quality images in smaller files, commonly used on newer iPhones.
• TIFF: An uncompressed format that preserves maximum detail, perfect for professional printing and publishing but very large in size.
• RAW: A camera’s digital negative containing all sensor data, offering maximum editing flexibility but requiring special software.
• DNG: Adobe’s standardized RAW format designed for long‑term accessibility and wide compatibility across editing programs.
• PNG: A lossless format that supports transparency, making it ideal for web graphics, logos, and design work.
• GIF: A format limited to 256 colors that supports simple animations and transparency, popular for memes and web graphics.
• BMP: Microsoft’s bitmap format that produces high‑quality images but with very large file sizes, rarely used today.
• PSD: Photoshop’s native format that saves layers and editing history, essential for complex image manipulation and design projects.

The reason I choose this picture was because it was very eye catching of the bat. the sky colors combined with nature really puts everything together.

I choose this picture because I really like how it looks like the sky is reelecting from the pond. It gives it a very beautiful touch.

To be able to achieve HDR images, photographers capture multiple shots of the same scene at different exposures, usually underexposed, correctly exposed, and overexposed. These images are then merged using HDR software, which balances highlights and shadows to create a single photo with greater dynamic range. The result is a more lifelike image that preserves vivid detail in both bright and dark areas.

1. What is the purpose of the main light?

The main light is the primary key to having illumination that defines the subjects shape, form, and texture.

2. What is the purpose of the fill light?

The fill light helps soften shadows created by the main light and reduces contrast.

3. List the lighting patterns.

Rembrandt lighting, loop lighting, butterfly lighting, split lighting, broad lighting, short lighting.

Henri- Cartier- Bresson was an amazing photographer. He was very well known for timing and his incredible and always natural looks. He waited for the very right moment to take a photo. His pictures to me never seemed like they were fake or forced. I liked how he used shapes and lines to make his photo look balanced. This made every part of his photo seem to be in the right place. He really knew how to shoe emptions and moment from everyday life. I can really tell that his photos were ways in which he could tell stories without using words. His work is a reminder to myself to always look closer at the world around me. Overall, I really like his work and would recommend for people to really admire it.
