What Makes A Snapshot? A snapshot is a photo that is taken quickly, referred to a "point and shoot" type of situation. Snapshots also tend to be more personal about something relatable. It is meant to be captured as memories of people and places in time, which also entails that the quality is less important. What Makes A Photograph? A photograph is something that is not just quickly taken, it takes time and a new perspective. Photographs grab a person's eye, and they tend to speak for themselves. Photographs also use the 10 rule of photography. How Can You Start To Make More Photographs Instead Of Snapshots? You can start taking more photographs instead of snapshots by getting new angles that the average eye hasn't normally seen, and you can also start being creative with your worth.

Action Book Work
(Recall) -- Camera Motion Blur, Subject Motion Blur, Out-Of-Focus Blur, and Depth-Of-Field Blur are all present in this chapter. (Understand) -- When taking pictures of motion, the longer the shutter is open the more amount of time the subject as to move. Whereas, if the shutter speed is open for a short amount of time, the subject can't more as much. (Analyze) -- The image involving tribal race uses panning to show motion within the photograph, and I feel as if blur would also have worked with this image. My other image is the photo of the biker on page 221. This biker has a blurred background to show that he is going fast, this could also be successful with shutter speeds. (Evaluate) --In these images you can infer movement because you can envision something happening even though there is no blur.
