I would use telephoto lens to take pictures of birds on trees or any small object at a far distance.

I would use a prime lens to take photos of people dancing or weddings.

I would use a wide-angle lens to take photos of large landscapes.

Depth of field-the distance in front and beyond the subject that appears in focus.
light-areas where light appears
shadows-areas where light doesn't appear
diffusion-scattered light
exposure-the amount of light
aperture (f-stop)-a device that controls the amount of light admitted through an opening.
shutter speed-controls the amount of light
