varying properties which allows for zoom, the ability of a camera to magnify or demagnify an image to a certain range. The lenses also permit focusing and correcting distortion.
Lens assembly
is a process at which the camera lenses are moved until the subject becomes clear and very sharp
Focusing
this is the "trigger" of the camera which initiates the image capturing process

this part contains several symbols which allow you to select a shooting mode, automatic or manual, or a choice between one of the predefined settings.
Mode dial
this is the small viewing window that shows the image that the camera's imaging sensor sees.
Viewfinder
this part is found around the old manual lens of SLR camera which functions as a way to select an aperture opening.
Aperture ring
this is also found around the lens of a DSLR camera. This is turned manually to focus the lens.
Focusing ring
this is the small screen at the back of the camera used for framing or for reviewing recorded images.
Lcd display
this part is usually built-in on the body of the camera. It provides an instantaneous burst of bright light to illuminate a poorly lit scene.
Flash
this comprises a set of
directional keys and a few other buttons to activate certain functions and menus. This is used to let the users interact with the camera's computer system.
Control buttons
this is where expansion memory
cards are inserted. The proper position of the card is often indicated. A mechanical catch usually holds the cards in place and a spring helps it eject.
Memory card slot
or hot-shoe)- this is the standard holder with contact plates for optional flash accessory.
Flash amount
this part is usually available in mid-to- high-end sub-compact cameras and DSLRs. This located beside the viewfinder. This varies the local length of the lens in the viewfinder in order for people wearing eyeglasses see clearly through it even without the eyeglasses.

viewing the image as a whole can accomplish composing a good photograph
Composition

Framing in photography aids with the composition of the photograph by drawing attention to the desired point.
Framing
can make or break a photograph. The sun can be your best friend when shooting outdoors.
Lighting
proper blank is vital for creating a good photograph.
- is the amount of light that reaches your camera's sensor, creating visual data over a period of time.
Overexposed photos have their white areas blown out, which washes out the picture, while underexposed photographs can be very dark.
Exposure
photography is a great means of storytelling.
-just as a writer speaks using words, a photographer speaks through his images.
Storytelling
a photographer who said,
"A photograph is a message". (impression and emotion)
Andrew Hudson
This shot concentrates on either the face or a specific detail of an object. A close-up of a face is considered a very intimate shot. It is because in real life we only let our people whom we trust get that close to our face like our mothers, children, and lovers.
Close up shot
This is much tighter close- up shot in which you get detail greater than the human eye would experience in reality.
An extreme close-up of a face, for instance, would show only the mouth or eyes, with no background detail whatsoever. This is very artificial shot, and can be used for dramatic effect.
Extreme close-up shot
The camera is positioned on a level with the focus. This is considered a fairly neutral shot.
Eye - level shot
This shows a scene from directly overhead, a very unnatural and strange shot. Familiar objects viewed from this shot might seem totally unrecognizable at first,.
This shot, however, put the audience in a God- like position, looking down on the action. People can be made look insignificant, ant-like, part of a wider scheme of things.
Bird’s eye view
The camera is elevated above the action or setting to give a general overview. High angle shots make the object or character photographed seemed smaller, that is, they get swallowed up by their setting- they become part of the wide picture.
High - angle shot
This shot increases height and gives a sense of speeded motion. Common backgrounds of a low angle shot are sky, ceiling, among others
Low - angle shot
The camera is tilted to suggest imbalance, transition, and instability. However, one can experiment on this "free play" of shots.
Oblique or canted shot
