  1. 1. For a macro shot--steady hands are a must. I think a tripod is a great help, but unfortunately, few have one.
    2. Mood and movement play a big role in the horizon shot. The timing is essential for the mood because different times of day play such a huge role in how the shot will feel.
    3. Natural light is light from the surrounding--no flash. In my experience, natural light works best.

  2. 1. For a macro shot, it's important that the focus of the camera is on the subject being captured instead of anything that could cause the camera to focus elsewhere and result in a blurry photograph.
    2. Mood and movement are extremely important to a horizon shot because it sets an ambiance and mood with the lighting that is captured at certain points in the day.
    3. Natural light occurs when there's no flash or intentional lighting set ups. I love natural light provided outside and I think it creates the most beautiful photographs.

  3. 1. It's important that your camera is focused on your subject and you have to find how close you can zoom and still take a clear photo.
    2. Movement and mood can vary throughout the day depending on the lighting and what the light is bouncing off of.
    3. Natural lighting does not use flash or other artificial lighting.

  4. 1. Keeping the shot steady is important, sometimes a tripod is needed. Make sure the shot is focused on the subject so that it will not be blurred.
    2. The mood and movement set the mood of the photo itself. You need to consider the perspective before taking the photo. Sometimes what you think you see is not what the camera captures.
    3. Natural light is using the light that is already present, not using a flash or adding any additional light.

  5. 1)I find a macro shot difficult since you must focus so closely on an object and the slightest movement, whether by the subject or photographer can cause blurring. I use a tripod when the subject warrants but it is not always practical. Plus you really need to watch out for those dang wasps!!!
    2)Movement and mood-Mood in a horizon shot I think is the most critical aspect. This can be achieved first through lighting (natural of course)sunrise, sunset. Is the horizon plane a forest, a sea, a sand dune? Each give a different mood. Movement of almost equal import can be achieved by waves, blowing leaves or sand, limbs tossed in the wind,etc.
    3)Natural light is the ambient light that surrounds us. The light given off by the sun, moon, and the stars. When taking a photo with natural light it is taken sans flash. Try taking a night photo with the flash on and scary things happen.

  6. 1. My suggestion would have to be that the focus is the most important part of the shot.
    2. Movement is key in this shot because depending on the object's movement that you're shooting it can change the entire mood of the shot.
    3. Natural light in my opinion is just the amount of light in the shot without flash, or shading the shot.
