2. Crop Factor
Crop factor describes the size difference between a 35mm film frame and your camera's sensor. You can calculate your camera's crop factor by dividing the diagonal length of a 35mm frame by the diagonal length of your camera's sensor.

For example, a 50mm lens on a 1.5 crop factor camera has an effective focal length of 75mm, because 50 x 1.5 = 75. If you fitted a 75mm lens to a 35mm camera, you'd get a photo with the same field of view.

Lenses are the most powerful compositional tool at your disposal. Standard lens is 50mm. Wide-angle lenses less than 35mm. Ultra wides lenses less than 20mm. Telephoto lenses more than greater than 50 mm. Extreme telephotos lenses longer than 400mm.
3. Questions to Ask?
Do you plan to edit your photos?
Aperture
A hole or an opening through which light travels.
Depth Of Field
What it depth of field ( DOF ) ?
The zone of sharp focus in a photograph that extend beyond and in front of the point you actually focus the lens on.
Varying depth of field There are three factors reduce or increase DOF: The Aperture The Focal length of the lens. The distance between your lens & the subject.

f/16 VS f/2.8
Shutter Speed
Amount of time the picture is exposed Short/Fast shutter speed Long/Slow shutter speed
1/8th
1/30th
1/60th
1/500th
ISO
the measure of a digital camera sensors sensitivity to light a higher number indicates higher sensitivity This is usually expressed as a range, ISO 100 -1600. A higher sensitivity allows us to take pictures in low light without using flash Higher ISO causes more "noise" than lower ISO
5. Exposure Compensation
Exposure
f/Stop
Decrease the f/stop No. ( Less DOF) f/1.2, f/1.8, f/2.8 Increase the f/stop No. ( More DOF) f/8, f/11, f/22
Shutter Speed
the Shutter Speed (give more time)
1/30s,1/15s,1/8s
ISO
Increases the ISO (Less Quality) 800,1600,3200 Decrease the ISO (More Quality) 50,100,200

7. Composition Tips
Turn the camera on its side.
You can take two ( upright and horizontal )
Isolating details.
Use your telephoto lens ( telezoom ) to isolate details.

What to focus on ?
You decide. You always focus in the middle of the picture. Try to focus on off-center subject , often results in more interesting images.
Avoiding flare.
When you shot against The light.
Peoples eyes usually go to one of the intersection points most naturally rather than the centre of the shot.
Unusual Angles.
Using Colors
Harmonious colors.
Colors that are closed to each other on the color wheel.
Abstract
eye.

9. Basic Workflow
Using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
Professional photographers always make sure their work saved with metadata for copyright purposes.
Step three: Review your imges. Press (P) to pick, (X) to reject photos
In the Develop Module Step Fourf: Develop your photos, enhance your colors, adjust your photos high lights & shadows... You can copy all the attributes (your editing) of any image to another by just a copy & past!
Step Five: Useing the Presets Panel! Presets are One-Click Edit for your photos.
Write your own watermark as a text, or you can add your graphic watermark. you can resize it, add transparent.
