Photography Assignment
When using the cameras for the first time it was a bit of a struggle to get used to, however I am used to them now after using them for a while. If I get some of the path in the photo (from Barnes Park), this would show my understanding of leading lines in Photography.
Another way to show my understanding in photography is by writing about the viewpoint which I have below.
Viewpoint
Before photographing my subjects, I will take time to think about where I will shoot them from. The viewpoint has a massive impact on the composition of my photos, and as a result it can greatly affect the message that the shot conveys. Rather than just shooting from eye level, I will consider photographing from high above, down at ground level, from the side, from the back and from a long way away to see how different each photograph will be.
Background
The human eye is excellent at distinguishing between different elements in a scene, whereas a camera has a tendency to flatten the foreground and background, and this can often ruin an otherwise great photo. Thankfully this problem is usually easy to overcome at the time of shooting - I will look around for a plain and unobtrusive background and compose my shots so that it doesn't distract or detract from the subject.
The constraints of taking photos
The above image is of The Exposure Triangle, which is used to help understand aperture, shutter speed and ISO. As the aperture is increased the depth of field changes, affecting how much of the shot is in focus. Less exposure equals to a large depth of field while more exposure equals shallow depth of field.

In photography, through the lens metering refers to a feature of cameras whereby the intensity of light reflected from the scene is measured through the lens;

DSLR Camera Functions
A digital single lens reflex camera (also known as a DSLR or digital SLR) is a digital camera that combines the optics and the mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging sensor, as opposed to photographic film. The reflex design scheme is the primary difference between a DSLR and other digital cameras. In the reflex design, light travels through the lens, then to a mirror that alternates to send the image directly to the viewfinder or the image sensor. The alternative would be to have a viewfinder with its own lens, hence the term "single lens" for this design, by using only one lens, the viewfinder of a DSLR presents an image that will not perceptibly (capable of being perceived by the sense of mind) differ from what is being captured by the camera's sensor.
DSLR's largely replaced film-based SLRs during the 2000's, and also despite the popularity of mirrorless system cameras in the early 2010s, DSLRs remained the most common type of interchangeable lens camera in use of 2014.

The constraints of taking photos
- One constraint could be time. depending on where I take my pictures because it could affect the quality of what they look like.
- Another constraint could be the location. This is because there are only a few locations to take photos where leading lines and foreground detail will be the most prominent.
- A third constraint could be framing issues. The picture would need to be framed correctly to have the maximum effect, this would include having something blocking the view.
- Another constraint would be the cameras battery. This would only depend on if the battery was low, this would affect how the pictures would turn out.
(when the subjects have been uploaded here 8 in total, I will need to annotate them describing the shutter speed and f-stops. Also show my understanding of rule of thirds, leading lines, foreground detail and selective focus. Also describe camera settings for each subject and make notes of both shutter speeds and f-stops).
