Review Chunk #1
Review Chunk #2View Finder is the small square window that has an accurate lens view View Screen large digital window with a digitally created image Manual Mode is when you have personal control of every setting to make the appropriate image.

Landscape Photography shows space within the world, this can be seen as vast or microscopic. To successfully take a landscape image, you have to use an appropriate edge. If you want to capture a wide view use a wide lens. Higher resolution and larger format digital cameras permit a greater amount of detail and a wide range of expression. But, the larger format yields a smaller depth of field to create the details and textures within the image. Wide Angle lens: pro: great for taking the landscape photos as said previous. Cons: can change the depth of field causing a loss of detail. 50mm Lens due to it's size is better to travel with. The lens has a high value at a low cost. Also it is light weight and versatile.

After
1. Vector tools move whole images and automatically adjusts the smoothness of lines. 2. Artists prefer serif draw and vector tools because it is easier to create shapes than on Photoshop. 3. Serif draw is a very good program. Would be better with a drawing tablet rather than a mouse. Each drawing is totally adjustable, every shape has its own selection. Vector art can be adjusted at any point in time. Can resize image and not lose quality. I would recommend this program, it gives you the ideas of vector programs and the concepts other programs are more in depth. Before
