 * 1) //"Placing the main subject off-center is usually more interesting than dead-center" ("10 Ingredients For Successful Images"39).//
 * 2) //"Also, carefully compose your pictures so that the background elements compliment the main subject" (// "10 Ingredients For Successful Images" //39).//
 * 3) //"When it comes to a person or an animal, the main focus point usually is the eyes " ( "10 Ingredients For Successful Images" 41).//
 * 4) //"When thinking about exposure, we want to expose for the highlights, or the brightest parts of the scene. That's because when highlights of a digital file is washed out and over exposed by more than an f/stop, they're difficult or impossible to recover in a digital darkroom" ( "10 Ingredients For Successful Images" 41).//
 * 1) //Multi-Zone, Multi-Segment, and Matrix metering works by dividing the image into several different segments while taking a separate reading from each segment ("Digital SLR Skills" 85).//
 * 2) //Center-weighted average meter takes a reading from the whole image, but the exposure is based towards the center of the frame. "This helps prevent the exposure from being affected by an dark or light areas in the foreground or background" ("Digital SLR Skills" 85).//
 * 3) //Spot or partial metering only takes a reading from a small part of the frame, normally the center ("Digital SLR Skills" 85).//
 * 4) //Spot metering is potentially the most accurate method but requires you to re-frame your shot, but also requires the most practice ("Digital SLR Skills" 85).//
 * 5) //"There are three main settings that govern exposure- ISO, shutter speed and aperture" ("Digital SLR Skills" 86).//
 * 6) //The ISO setting governs how sensitive the camera's sensor is to light. If you are using a low setting (such as ISO 100 or 200), the sensor needs more light to make an exposure than if you use a higher one (such as ISO 400 or 800)" ("Digital SLR Skills" 86).//
 * 7) //The shutter speed refers to the amount of time that the sensor is exposed to the light"("Digital SLR Skills" 86).//
 * 8) //The Aperture is the variable opening within the lens that governs how much light passes through it to reach the sensor" ("Digital SLR Skills" 86).//
 * 9) //"In the same lighting conditions and with the same ISO, you can use settings of 1/250sec at f/16 to generate the same exact exposure as 1/1000sec at f/5.6" ("Digital SLR Skills" 86).//
 * 10) //"When making an exposure in very bright light conditions you can usually get away with using the lowest ISO setting and smallest aperture, and still get a shutter speed that's fast enough to avoid camera shake" ("Digital SLR Skills" 87).//
 * 11) //To avoid overexposure, seat a smaller aperture, a faster shutter speed, and a lower ISO setting" ("Digital SLR Skills" 87).//
 * 12) //"When making an exposure in very dark conditions you may need to increase your ISO setting and/or choose a wider aperture, to obtain a shutter speed that's fast enough to avoid camera shake and avoid underexposure at the same time" ("Digital SLR Skills" 87).//
 * 13) //To prevent underexposure, seat a wider aperture, a slower shutter speed, and a higher ISO setting" ("Digital SLR Skills" 87).//
 * 14) //"Exposure compensation is simply a way of overriding the exposure suggested by the camera to give a lighter or darker result" ("Digital SLR Skills" 92).//
 * 15) //"If your subject is dominated by light tones, your camera is likely to underexpose the image, giving the whole scene a grey, muddy appearance" ("Digital SLR Skills" 96).//
 * 16) //"When your scene is dominated by dark tones or shadow areas, the camera's metering system will assume you want the dark area to be recorded as a midtone. As a result, you need to underexpose the scene"("Digital SLR Skills" 96).//
 * 1) //"Spot metering gathers exposure information only from a central portion of the frame" (Busch 58).//
 * 2) //"Multipoint exposure information is collected from many different positions in the frame, and then used to calculate the settings then using one of several calculation routines" (Busch 58).//

 * 1) //"The term ISO is a carryover from film photography. It’s an international standard (from the International Standards Organization, of course) that describes a film’s light sensitivity, often called film speed. The higher the film speed, the less light is required to record an image" (King 38).//
 * 2) //A large aperture produces shorter depth of field; a small aperture brings a greater area into sharp focus" (King 36).//
 * 3) //"Switching to slow-sync flash has two effects on your photograph: First, a background that would otherwise appear dark becomes visible. Second, you can get a good exposure with less flash power, which usually translates to softer, less contrasty foreground lighting" (King 115).//
 * 4) //"With a higher ISO film you can get a good exposure with less light. In bright light, the increased light sensitivity enables you to work with a smaller aperture (higher f-stop number) or faster shutter speed than when using a lower ISO film" (King 107).//
