1. Automatic Mode, it selects everything for you and guesses what you want instead of you being able to choose what you really want.
2. Portrait Mode, the camera automatically selects a large aperture and blurs the background, so it focuses on the subject.
3. Macro Mode, lets you move closer to your subject to take a close-up picture, it is great for shooting small objects
4. Landscape Mode, the exact opposite of portrait mode, it sets the camera up with a small aperture it gives you a large depth of field.
5. Sports Mode, used for photographing moving objects mostly used in sports, attempts to freeze the action by increasing the shutter speed.
6. Night Mode, for shooting in low light situations, sets your camera to use a longer shutter speed to help capture details of the background.
7. Movie Mode, captures moving images, generally new cameras come with movie mode, moving images take up more memory storage.
8. Aperture Priority Mode, semi-automatic mode, you choose the aperture, and the camera chooses the other settings, controls the depth of field in a shot.

I choose to photoshop this picture because Cristiano Ronaldo kicking a basketball in a football NFL stadium is surrealism. Another reason why is because he should not be playing soccer in in a football stadium. He belongs in a soccer stadium and not in a football stadium because that is where he belongs. Cristiano should not be kicking around a basketball because it should be dribbled. Instead he should be kicking a soccer ball which deserves to be kicked. Also the background is blurred so it is focusing on Cristiano and the basketball with the field. It makes you think why is he there and alone because we cant see anyone else there. The amount of light on the field really make him stand out.
