Final Review

SLR- Single lens reflex... uses one mirror to relfelct image into the LCD so whatever is seen through           the SLR will show up on the screen.

JPEG- Joint Photographic Experts Group.. compresses an image file

RAW- A digital image that has a minimal amount of processed data

DPI- Aka PPI or Pixel per inch.. basically its how many pixels that will be in your image

AE- Automatic exposure.. this automatically sets your aperture and shutter speed

AF- Automatic focus.. focuses on an image for you

CCD- Charge coupled device.. this is basically like film but instead it is digitally based.

CPU- Central processing unit.. this allows the lens to communicate with the camera itself

F/STOP- The measurement of the lens speed in a camera

ISO- The sensitivity in an image sensor

KB- Kilo byte.. small image size

MB- Mega byte.. the average image size that is very defined

PIXEL- An element of a picture that is minuscule and can be controlled (edited)

TTL- Through the lens.. automatic system that tells what type of flash to use and uses it

USB- Universal serial bus.. connects to computers and transfers data over or back to the serial bus                 port

VR- Vibration reduction.. helps make sure the image doesn't blur too much if the camera is shaken             slightly

What size photos are due each week?  Large photos that fit the screen

Who was the best photographer in your class? Alexa Gil

What is art?  Art to me can be just about anything. Anything written, anything musical or any type of                      photo or video. Overall art can be just about anything that is created.

Name three basic adobe tools- cropping, text, and erase

What grade do you feel you EARNED in this class? I think I earned the grade I have now. I get all my work done and it is quality work. If it is turned in late for any reason, I still try to make it quality but much better since I spent more time working on it than I was supposed to.

Nikon.com

Nikon is a Japanese company that was founded in 1917 and specializes in optics and imaging products. They manufacture cameras, lenses, and several types of scopes for long distance visualization. In the present and modern day, you can find many of their products in stores, but all can be found online at Nikon.com.

Nikon.com is a website store as well as a website that provides tips for new photographers.
They hold many deals for cameras and lenses. There deals are especially present during the holidays. Some deals include camera and lens packages that are over $100 off or free battery packs when you purchase a type of camera. There deals on lens are especially great with savings of over $150. Let me tell you, lens are expensive. Some lens are thousands of dollars and Nikon does their best to help their customers save a little money.

On top of offering camera and lens deals, they offer classes and DVD's for upcoming photographers to help them improve and learn photography skills.

To also help those who are new and interested in photography, they have pages dedicated to the history of their company and it's cameras. They have pages on the basics of cameras and lens, what their name means and what the they do.

Nikon even warns its customers of Gray Market products that are sold by others. They inform them on the sign to look for to tell if the product is meant to be sold for another Nikon market and if the characteristics are met, then they will get not warranty, are not eligible for service, software that is false, and parts that may not even go to the camera. If the deal is too good, it's probably too good to be true, so don't trust it. They urge that before you buy a camera, look up the characteristics of Grey Market products and make sure the one you want, isn't a part of that because ultimately, you'll get jipped.

Their numerous tools dedicated to their customers shows the dedication and care they have for them. They welcome those who are new to photography with open arms. All their pages are dedicated to assisting their customers with their camera and lens needs, whether it be buying new lens or cameras repairing them, or even warnings to products that may rip you off. Their customer service is dedicated to assisting all camera and lens questions and needs.

On top of their awesome customer support coverage, they offer apps to assist photographers in storing, editing, and sharing their images. The app is called "Nikon Image Space." The app allows you to upload and store all your favorite images in a secure spot that you can browse and access from anywhere you are. The app even gives detailed data from your photo such as aperture, shutters speed, focal length, and ISO. It's just like your camera! Not only does it provide detailed information on your image stored, but it even allows the comparison between other cameras and equipment that are used by other photographers. Nikon wanted to make the app very convenient for photographers, and they sure did!

My overall rating on this website is very good. I wouldn't do a number rating because I don't prefer that, so I will just say that the website is very reliable and perfect for photographers.
