Lenses - wide angle lens, telephoto lens, standard lens
Wide angle lens:
  • ideal for fitting a large area into your frame
  • especially useful for landscape photography or street photography
Standard lens :
  • offer a fairly accurate representation of what the human eye sees, both in terms of visual angle and perspective.
Tele lenses :
  • great for isolating a subject that is far away. 
  • allow you to photograph subjects from a distance thanks to their magnification. 

Smartphones vs Cameras = Convenience vs Quality
  • quality:DSLR cameras are designed to capture images. Phones are designed to carry out a multitude of functions.
  • sizes: phone cameras are very limited by size. the size of the lens and the size of the sensor that captures the photos. Entry-level DSLRs have much larger lenses and sensors than mobile phones do.

The pen tool is a versatile tool in Photoshop that can be used to create extremely precise shapes and paths, using manually placed anchor points.

5.Layering
 layer without affecting another one to make adjustments. 

The advantage of using Layers is that you can save a Photoshop file with all the layers included. This means you can use layers for non-destructive editing. 
Your adjustments in Photoshop will never destroy the original image.
