HTML Questions.
What is HTML used for?
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It's the widest used language on the Internet. It is used to mark up documents. The HTML indicates the different elements in a document.
Give 5 examples of HTML tags and how they are formatted.
html: at the beginning and end of the document
head: before and after the title
title: in between the 2 head
body: before and after h1 and p
h1: in between body and p
p: between h1 and body
Give an example of how tags are open and closed
Opening tag is at the beginning and closed tags are at the end of the code.
For example, title Hey yo. /title
The only difference is the slash.
Describe parent and child elements
Parent elements are elements the contain other elements. The children elements are the elements inside the parent one.

Second Day of Notes.
Mood Lighting
Front Lighting: Light is placed near the lens and directly in front of the subject. This lighting flattens out the volume of the subject and minimizes textures.
Side Lighting: A light is placed at a 90 degree angle to the subject. This can look like the face is split in two. One side is completely in shadow and the other side is lit up. This emphasizes facial features and can reveal textures of the skin.
High Side Lighting: A main light stands at a 45 degree angle and a 45 degree angle above the subject. This is the classicc lighting for portraits.
Top Lighting: A light shines down directly down directly on top of the subject. Withe people it creates deep shadows in the eye sockets and under the nose and chin.
Under Lighting: Lit from below the subject. Creates odd looking shadows. Used to make things look more scary.
Back Lighting: Light is coming directly from the back of the subject.

Hot Lights
-Tungsten or metal Halide Iodide
-Burn continuously and you can always see what you are doing
-You always see what you are going to get
-Produce 4x the light of a tungsten bulb at the same wattage
-Makes studio very hot

First day notes.
Lighting
-Photography is an art of light and shade
Two types of light
-Natural
-Artificial
-Pictures in natural light have greatly clarity
Shooting pictures in the mid afternoon (outside) should be avoided. It sometimes causes dark highlights and empty shadows.
From: http://www.digitalpicturezone.com/performance-metrics/important-photography-lighting-techniques-to-get-on-light-difficulties/
Quantity of light is important. But the quality is a little more important.
Hard light VS. Soft light
Some questions to ask yourself:
-Where is the light coming from?
-How does it change throughout the day?
-How does this light fall apon you?
Look closely at how light and shadow work together to create texture on the objects around you.
Types of Light
Hard Light: this light comes directly from the light source. An example of hard light is sunlight. This type of light creates strong and distinctive shadows. Strong light can eliminate details, flatten a subject, and produce harsh shadows
Soft Light: This light is indirect. It can be sunlight coming through curtains or the hazy sunshine we often see on a cloudy day. Shadows are not harsh. This light it used for portraits.
Natural Light: This is the light that comes from the natural source.
Articficial Light: Some examples are photofloods, halogen, "local" light, and candle light.
Manipulating Light
Flat reflectors: White board, or foam board that reflects light. So two lights do not need to be used.
- If you're outside the best thing to do is diffuse light if you soften strong light it softens shadows
Some examples on diffusing light
-Umbrellas
-Diffusion screen ( like translucent plastic)
-Use a soft box
