The website above was very useful. There are good, and intresting tips to help with simple, or even abstract images. My rating was:30. I would recomend this website if you need some tips to make your pictures better.
Types of Photography:
Aerial |
|
From a plane, helicopter, balloon or other airborne device. |
Adventure, Action |
|
Adventure sports, daring feats, etc. |
Amateur |

Any type of photography practiced by non-professionals. |
Animal, Pet |
|
Pets and their relationships with humans. Note that the human content is often as important as the animal. |
Architecture, Real Estate |

Astrophotography |
|
Space photography, through a telescope. |
Aura |

A controversial type of photography which some claim can photograph a person's aura. |
Black & White |
|
Not simply photography without colour, black and white photography explores shapes, tones and textures. Shadows and highlights become much more important. |
Camera Phone |

"Convenience" photography using a mobile phone's built-in camera. While not the best quality, camera phones have opened a new world of spontaneous, on-the-spot photo opportunities. |

Large Format |

For use on posters, billboards, etc. |
Kirlian |

A type of contact print photography in which an object touching a photographic plate is connected to a high voltage source, creating an aura-like image. Often confused with aura photography. |
Macro |

The art of photographing very small and/or close-up objects. |
Medical |

Specialized photography for clinical purposes, i.e. to help reveal and diagnose illness. |
Microscopic |

Any technique for photographing objects too small to be visible to humans. |
Modeling |

Photographing objects to be converted into 3D models. |

Stereoscopic (3-D) |

Using Light and Contrast to enhance images(over and under exposure):
http://www.photography-basics.com/2007/01/example-of-over-exposure-and-under-exposure/
I did this on my own with basic exposure editing tools:
#1 #2 #3
UNDER EXPOSED PROPERLY EXPOSED OVER EXPOSED
Image #2 has equal light and contrast(properly exposed). Image #3 has equal contrast,
but more light(over exposed). Image #1 has less light than all three images, but has the
most contrast of all the images(under exposed).
Most digital cameras have modes and adjustments for light. That includes flash. If it's a sunny day outside, and you want to take pictures outdoors, flash might not be necessary, unless in a darker area. But if there is not light, you can turn on the flash to enhance the images. But if you don't, or forget to change settings on your camera, you can probably edit it on your computer. There are simple editing stations on almost all computer devices. Like red eye removal, cropping images, adjusting color, and fixing under and over exposured images. And if you don't have those, you could probably purchase a program from a store, even like Wal-Mart. These can renew and enhance your images a thousand times more. I would highly recommend to use those:)
Interview with an Expert

- video (using a video conferencing tool), OR
- audio (to make a podcast), OR
- an email or im transcript.

Natalie - all the terms you included in your Wordle are fantastic. I ended up taking a screenshot with Jing - Have you used Jing? I find it a great tool for screenshots and video (and it is free!). Your Wordle looks fantastic on your page.

I like the piece you added about the different exposures with examples! FYI - I'd love to hear your voice in the Voki. You can record via your cell phone. That's what my students did.
