Specific Purpose: Using the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture to take a picture manually on a DSLR camera. Thesis statement: Today I will teach you how to correctly combine the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture in order to capture a photo manually with a DSLR camera.
“Raise your hand if you or someone you know, wither it be your mom, friend, aunt, whoever, has a DSLR or ‘fancy’ camera. Now keep your hand up if you actually know how to use it. All right, well I want to change that! I am currently in a photojournalism class at WKU and I pick up taking photos on the weekends for extra money. I am going to major in photojournalism and pursue either that or just a regular photographer as a career. Today I will teach you how to correctly combine the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture in order to capture a photo completely manually using a DSLR or ‘fancy’ camera.
Have you ever seen a photo that was entirely too bright or on the opposite side, way too dark? Well that’s our ISO. “The ISO refers to the camera’s sensitivity to light”. Higher the ISO, the more sensitive the camera will be. Lower the ISO, the less sensitive the camera will be.
Camera problem number 2; we’ve all seen blurry photos, but then on the other hand there are these amazing sports photographs that seem to freeze time, this is the work of our shutter speed. “Exactly how long or short the gateway to the sensor is open is called the shutter speed”, The faster the shutter, the more crisp the photo, but then the higher the ISO has to be.The slower the shutter, the blurrier the photo, and the lower the ISO can be.
The final camera variable in the equation is usually the most confusing. Ever wonder why in some photos just the person’s eye is in focus, or just their rings like in wedding pictures, and then in others, everything is in focus the foreground, background, everything, we owe this to aperture. Using ISO, shutter speed, and aperture, you now know how to compose a shot completely on the manual mode of a DSLR camera!

World War 1 Outline
The aftermath of World War 1 in Europe was very much in turmoil and it was because the peacemakers weren’t able to see the scale of the damage of that WW1 causes. The empires of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia were nonexistent. Russia had undergone two revolutions, the states that were left behind were struggling economically along with the issues that the civilian population was facing such as famine, the Spanish Flue, and displacement there was a lot to repair in the aftermath.
A social impact that World War 1 had was the phenomena of the a “lost generation”. Great Britain and France was in this phenomena because there was 20% of men aged between 20 and 41 were lost. 41,000 lost at least of their limbs in Great Britain and others were permanently disabled. Economic Consequences:
Not only was the economic consequences were huge in the countries that were directly affect by the war but also the industries that would help to contribute to the economy after a war.
- Great Britain spent 34 billion pounds by themselves.
- German U-Boats sank 40% of British merchant
- France had 2 million hectares of land destroyed along with farms, factories and railway lines. Decline in manufacturing output.
The lines in Central Europe were redrawn, with the collapse of multi-national, monarchical regimes. Germany: November 11, 1918- there was revolution in Germany, sailors took over the town of Kiel and other areas went along with this. There were socialists revolts led by workers and soldiers in ports and cities.
The Kaiser left to Holland and Friedrich Ebert was the new leader of Germany. Russia: They had two revolutions in 1917, one took over the Tsarist regime and another took over the Provisional government (that was in place after the Tsar) that promised to hold free elections. The second one was led by communist Bolsheviks. Habsburg Empire: Austria and Hungary split into different countries and the last Emperor, Karl 1, left on November 1918.
Turkey:
The collapse of the family on 1922 was replaced by Mustapha Kemal, which put in an authoritarian regime. In the end, the collapse of all these countries left Central Europe in turmoil, along with the growth of socialist polices many capitalist and ruling classes were afraid that the revolutions would spread among countries that have weak post-war economies. Impact of the War outside of Europe:
America:
- Emerged out of the war, as a leading nation because American trade/industry took over the gap left by European countries. The US took over markets
- Wilson hoped that the US would be a bigger player in international affairs and wanted a new type of world order to have collective security and prevent another World War.
- Spanish Flu, racial tensions and the return of isolationism made a lot of American citizens wary of Wilson’s new proposals.
Japan and China:
- Japan experienced economic prosperity because there was demand for Japanese products and there were new markets that they took a chance on.
- They expanded land-wise, taking German holdings in Shandon and islands in the Pacific.
- Japan sent a list of 21 demands in order to have an iron fist on the Chinese economy and political system
- China entered the war in 1917 and a voice in the new treaty being written but their goals were the complete opposite of Japan.
Problems facing the peacemakers in 1919: The Versailles peace conference was dominated by three political leaders:
- David Lloyd George-Prime Minister of the UK
- Georges Clemenceau-Prime Minister of France
- Woodrow Wilson-POTUS
There were three factors that made a treat hard to achieve:
- Different aims of peacemakers
- Nature of the Armistice settlement and mood of the German population
- Popular sentiment in the Allied countries.
Wilson had Fourteen Points which were his goals
- Abolition of secret diplomacy
- Free navigation at sea for all nations in war and peace
- Free trade between countries
- Disarmament by all Countries
- Colonies to have a say in their future
- German troops to leave Russia
- Restoration of inde. for Belgium
- France to regain Alsace and Lorraine
- Frontier between Austria and Italy
- Serbia to have access to the sea
- Self-determination for the peoples of Austria-Hungary
- Self-determination for the people in the Turkish Empire
- Poland to have access to the sea along with being independent.
- A League of Nations to be set up to preserve peace
The members of the Triple Ententa had different perspectives on how to punish Germany. Lloyd George wanted to include a disarmament clause to the Treaty because they didn’t want the German military to threaten the colonies of Great Britain ever again. They also wanted Germany to recover fast in order for them to trade more with them and to repel the growing threat of communism in Europe. Clemenceau of France wanted harsh settlements towards Germany because they wanted to keep Germany weak and they wanted Germany to pay back war damage in order for France to rebuild their country again. Armistice Settlement:
In the end, the German people were led to believe that the country were to rebuilt in the image of Wilson’s Fourteen points in order to not face “total defeat”. Also they believed that they were to play a role in the agreements of the Treaty and thought that the final punishment wasn’t going to be so harsh.
Comparison And Contrast: Smoke Signals And This Is What It Means To Say Phoenix
The film Smoke Signals centers on the relationship between Thomas and Victor, two Native Americans, as they embark on a journey to discover their true identities. Thomas was raised by his grandmother after losing his parents in a fire during infancy. In contrast, it is disclosed that Arnold, Victor’s father, is responsible for this tragic incident. However, despite these circumstances, Thomas remains closely tied to his Native American heritage and greatly values their traditions and storytelling practices.
Victor may come across as a mean and cold individual, but he harbors emotional distress regarding his father and his childhood. He consistently exhibits rudeness towards Thomas and finds his storytelling quite bothersome. Thomas shares tales about Arnold, who Victor despises due to their troubled history and his personal hatred towards his father. However, as their journey progresses, their sentiments undergo a transformation, ultimately resulting in Thomas and Victor developing a stronger bond than ever before. Both the movie and the short story commence with a common storyline – Arnold unintentionally starting a fire on July 4th while Victor and Thomas were infants. Tragically, Thomas’s parents lost their lives, but they managed to save Thomas by throwing him out of the window, with Arnold catching him.
The relationship and characteristics of Victor and Thomas differ significantly in the movie compared to the short story. In the short story, they are portrayed as cousins, whereas in the movie they are depicted as childhood friends. Another major difference is the altercation that occurs between them while growing up. In the movie, this occurs when Thomas confronts Victor about his absent father, prompting Victor to become enraged and physically assault Thomas.
The short story includes a scene in which 15-year-old Victor is drunk and Norma, a passing lady, intervenes. A additional scene not mentioned in the short story depicts Thomas watching Victor engage in basketball with his friends. This particular scene emphasizes Arnold’s pride in Victor’s basketball skills. Similarly, another non-existent scene in the short story portrays young Thomas and Victor conversing by a campfire about stories.
Before Victor sets off to retrieve his father’s ashes, Thomas proposes that he provides financial support for the trip on the condition that he joins Victor on the journey. However, there are differences between the movie and short story adaptations. In the movie version, Victor consults his mother for guidance before making a decision and later informs Thomas of his agreement to let him come along.
In the short story, Victor refused Thomas’ offer to lend him money because they were not friends and had not spoken for a while. However, Thomas argued that friendship was not necessary and all he wanted was for Victor to bring him along. In the movie adaptation, Victor went to Thomas’ grandmother’s house in person to inform him of his decision, whereas in the short story he only called him.
After embarking on their journey to gather Arnold’s ashes and belongings, they encounter several individuals and undergo numerous shared experiences along the way. There are several disparities between the travel depicted in the movie and that portrayed in the short story, particularly regarding their mode of transportation. In the short story, they board a plane bound for Phoenix, Arizona, where they cross paths with Cathy. They engage in pleasant conversation with Cathy, and upon arrival, they hail a taxi. This stands in stark contrast to the limited funds they possess for their expedition, making the movie’s version appear more plausible.
In the movie, they had two friends pick them up and drive them to the bus station, but these friends had an unusual habit of only driving in reverse. On the bus, they encounter a girl who shares stories about being a backup for the Olympics. Victor becomes upset and yells at her, questioning her relevance as only a replacement. After the bus ride, Thomas and Victor continue on foot to their destination.
In the movie, when they reach Arnold’s old trailer, they encounter Suzie. Suzie has a significant role as she prompts Victor to reflect on and reconsider whether his father was truly as terrible as he believed. Eventually, Victor comes to the realization that his father was actually a good person. In the short story, however, they simply collect the ashes and return in Arnold’s pickup truck. Another pivotal moment in the movie’s ending is when Victor shares half of Arnold’s ashes with Thomas. This gesture signifies a profound transformation in their bond, making them resemble brothers now.
In both the movie and the short story, Victor gives the ashes to his mother. At the end, Victor demonstrates his care for Thomas by promising to listen to one of his stories, which he had initially despised. The movie effectively portrays Victor’s transformation from hatred to love and how it shapes him into a kinder individual. Additionally, the movie provides a deeper insight into the father’s character, making him more prominent. Ultimately, Thomas and Victor develop a brotherly bond throughout their journey.
