Family portraits

1. I will photograph my own family
2. I will shoot outside of my house, most likely
3. Outdoor lighting
4. I will need a tripod
5&6.  I will need to set up the camera on the appropriate mode and shutter speed/ aperture etc.
7.

I really like this family photo because its unique, the way the family is NOT posed makes this picture an eye catcher and interesting. I also like the lighting and the way it is black and white.

SmugMug prep

1. Content blocks are building blocks for your site. To add a content block to any page, drag it from the Customize drawer and drop it onto your page.

2. Photo, navigation, video, design, text, social, discovery, html

3. Single photo: add a block that contains a single image
    Multiple photos: Add a block that contains more than one image to any page, gallery, or folder.
    Slideshow: Add a slideshow to any page, gallery, or folder.
    Carousel: Add a photo carousel to any page, gallery, or folder.

4.

• Menu: navigation bar with links to other pages on your site
• Galleries: certain galleries.
• Folders: particular folders.
• Pages: certain pages.
• Folders, Galleries, and Pages: Display all types of content levels together.
• ​Breadcrumb: Add a breadcrumb to reveal the links between your homepage and the page being viewed.
• Featured Events (Pro): Feature an event on any page you create.

5. Design Elements: Logos and separators 

6. Color Space: you can work in a different color space, the file has to be saved as a JPG, and must be converted into sRGB for upload to SmugMug.

Canon 6D vs. T3i

1. Full frame camera in general, has a better image quality across the board and Crop sensor is for capturing less. For example if your shooting pictures of landscapes, a full frame sensor would be way better.

2. 5 advantages to the 6D:

Fill light- used to lighten shadows and control contrast 

Key light (main light)- Key light determines the character of the lighting 

Hair light- light placed facing the top of the head

Background light- Reveals the character of the background and helps separate it from the subject

Shadowless-

Hard light- a small focusable source used with or without a lens that produces strong highlights and/or shadows

Soft light- Diffused, Bounced, indirect light

Grey card- A Matte 18% reflectance card used instead of a subject for a Reflected Light Meter reading. Tips: Exposure corrections for unusually light or dark subjects are the same as for an ILM - not an RLM. Angle the card for typical but glare-free light. See: 18% Assumption*

Reflector- reflects light from subject

Diffuser- A Translucent material placed in front of a Light to soften Highlights and Shadows, reduce Contrast and increase Beam Angle.

Intensity -he "strength" of the Incident Light independent of subject reflectivity, commonly measured in Foot Candles or Lux. High levels allow for increased Depth of Field (not always desirable) or faster shutter speeds (stills or high-speed filming). 

• Direction: Where is the light coming from—the front, the side, or behind?
• Intensity: How bright is each light source?
• Color: What color is the light—white, red, blue…?
• Contrast: Is the transition from the highlights to the shadows subtle or sudden?
• Hardness: What do the edges of the shadows look like?
