Loop --  gives a slight shadow on the chick, a variation of the butterfly depend on the individual and uses one light. 

Rembrandt -- gives a small triangle shadow on the opposite side of the face makes the subject more flattering with one light source.

Split -- gives a sort of half half one side full of light while the other is fully shadowed this makes it more dramatic also using one light source.

Broad and Short -- the opposite of a rembrandt looking into the broad side of the face makes it flattering with one light source.

Soft light - indirect light 

Grey card - a card used to reflect light

Reflector - mirror to redirect light

Diffuser - something placed in front of a light to make it less bright

Intensity - how strong the light is

3:1 lighting ratio- when the light difference is one and a half stops

PART 3

Direction: where something comes from or is going

Intensity: how strong something is

Color: pigment in light

Contrast: difference between shadows and highlights

Flash Basics

Flash fact #1: Every flash photograph is two exposures in one Flash fact #2*: Flash exposure is not affected by shutter speed.

Flash fact #3: Flash illumination is dramatically affected by distance.  Flash fact #4: Your camera measures ambient light and flash illumination separately.

Flash fact #5: With automatic flash metering, the flash illumination is measured after the shutter button is pressed, and the flash output is adjusted accordingly. Flash fact #6*: Every SLR camera with a mechanical shutter has a maximum flash sync shutter speed

Flash Fact #7*: If you set your shutter speed faster than flash sync, or use Av mode with an aperture setting that requires a shutter speed faster than flash sync for proper exposure, the camera will automatically revert to flash sync speed when the shot is taken if a built-in or hotshoe-mounted flash is turned on.

Prompt 1:
Finish this sentence: The further your subject, the more powerful flash you need.

Prompt 2:
Will your exposure be brighter from the light produced by the flash, if you use a slower (longer) shutter speed? What type of light will a longer shutter speed increase in any type of exposure?

No it will not make any difference it will create more of a blur

Prompt 3:
What is the primary limitation of flash?

not enough power

Prompt 4:
What is the maximum sync speed of most DSLR cameras?

1/200th

Prompt 5:
What is a Guide Number on a flash?

the product of aperture and distance

Prompt 6:
What is the problem with using a flash pointing directly at a subject? How can a photographer address this problem?

it makes photos come out unsatisfying bounce it off a celling with a 45 degree angle

Prompt 7:
What is the advantage of getting a flash off of the top of a camera?

eliminates the chances of red eye and flash brackets have a pivot point with allows you to create a 90 degree angle

A slow sync is a longer exposure and rear curtain sync creates a natural look
