            Photography is a snapshot of what the artist is recording. The rule of thirds is breaking an image down into thirds which is divided into 9 equal parts, 2 equally spaced horizontal lines, and 2 equally spaced vertical lines. Composition is the placement of visual elements. Shutter speed and aperture control the exposure, and these must be in balance to provide the right amount of light to the film. Motion blur creates a very unique perspective to our eyes, and a freeze frame is a still image that lasts for several seconds. Some basic camera shots are extreme wide shot, very wide shot, and extreme close up. Some photo commands are aperture, shutter speed, and manual.
