Technical Parts
For this project I'm using a Nikon single lens reflex camera d5300. It is a Digital camera with a 18-105mm lens.
What is a camera doing?
A camera is a small hole in a box where the light is coming tough. In the box is a light sensitive material that capture the image from where the hole is targeting.
​
On the picture you see how it is.
​
The image by de camera obscura was always upside down. Later by the digital camera there is placed a mirror so the picture will never be albe to be upside down.
This is the camera.
-Angle of view- Is the focal length of the picture that you will take (it decide how much you are going to see in the picture) with a wide angle you see a lot and with a small angle you see the image closer this is for is you want to make a detail photo for example. 18 mm is big , 105 mm is small
-Aperture - is deciding how much light you will let in.
-Setting focus - is how sharpe you want the picture
- Shutter speed - will decide how long you will let the light in.
-ISO- Light sensivity of the light. the higher your ISO the more noise you have.

For this project i wanted to make different kinds of landscapes. I want to do this on different times and places because I learn more form doing it. So I decided to do the morning sun, the sunset and night and then i will experiment with long exposure and time-lapse but also with photoshop.To do all those of photography I needed to now where and also needed to take a look on the weather. But also need to know which setting my camera need to have for the specific moment. Because this is the key of the project.
In this series you can see good what the aperture and shutter speed is doing to a picture.In the first micture you see a small aperture and a long shutter speed in the last picture it is the other way around.

Use
ISO, Aperture Depending on time and location
Shutter speed 1/6<

Use a Manual by less light and by much light auto focus. Shoot your pictures in RAW. RAW is a file format that captures all image data recorded by the sensor when you take a photo.When you shoot in RAW you record all of the data from the sensor.With RAW you have additional information in the file, so it’s much easier to correct the image without a drastic reduction in quality. Also it is easier to edit you pictures because and it will be in higher quality.
