The rule of thirds is a composition guideline that places your subject in the left or right third of an image, leaving the other two thirds more open.

# data[].attributes.body
Leading lines are a compositional technique where human-made or natural lines lead the viewer's eyes through a photograph

# data[].attributes.body
The photograph is divided into nine rectangles along two horizontal and vertical lines according to the golden ratio.

# data[].attributes.body
Negative space, in art, is the empty space around and between the subject of an image.

# data[].attributes.body
Positive space refers to the subject or areas of interest in an artwork, such as a person's face or figure in a portrait

# data[].attributes.body
Backlight, or back lighting, is any light source that comes from behind your subject.

# data[].attributes.body
Diffused light, or soft light, is light that's filtered by something. Sunlight through a sheer curtain is diffused. Light from behind a lampshade is diffused compared to the direct light of a bare bulb.

# data[].attributes.body
Also called general lighting, ambient lighting provides overall illumination for a room, and is intended to create a uniform light level throughout a space

# data[].attributes.body
Chiaroscuro, in art, is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition

# data[].attributes.body
the dark shape and outline of someone or something visible against a lighter background, especially in dim light.

Auto Mode. Automatic Exposure is when the camera chooses the optimum shutter speed, aperture, ISO and flash settings for your shot.

# data[].attributes.body
Program mode is marked by 'P' on your camera's mode dial and is one of the Creative Zone modes, though one with the least control over your exposure settings.

# data[].attributes.body
As the name suggests, “Manual” mode stands for a full manual control of Aperture and Shutter Speed. In this mode, you can manually set both the aperture and the shutter speed to any value you want

# data[].attributes.body
'Shutter Priority', is a shooting mode whereby the photographer sets the shutter speed, while the camera automatically sets the Aperture.

# data[].attributes.body
With it, the photographer selects a specific aperture value and the camera autoselects the proper shutter speed based on how much light it detects.

# data[].attributes.body
A diptych is a painting or relief carving made of two parts, which are usually joined by hinges. They are invariably small in size and, if an altarpiece, were used for private devotion.

# data[].attributes.body
a picture (such as an altarpiece) or carving in three panels side by side

# data[].attributes.body
The orthographic view definition is a projection of one side of the figure onto its perpendicular plane. An orthographic projection consists of three views: the front view, the top view, and a side view.

# data[].attributes.body
Barrel distortion describes a type of distortion wherein lines that are straight in real life appear to curve inwards (like the walls of a barrel).

# data[].attributes.body
Pincushion distortion is where straight lines bend or “pinch” inward from the center of the image.

# data[].attributes.body
ISO is your camera's sensitivity to light as it pertains to either film or a digital sensor. A lower ISO value means less sensitivity to light, while a higher ISO means more sensitivity.

# data[].attributes.body
The ASA (American Standards Association) scale is an arbitrary rating of film speed; that is, the sensitivity of the film to light. If everything else is kept constant, the required exposure time is inversely proportional to the ASA rating.

# data[].attributes.body
The image sensor of the camera is responsible for converting the light and color spectrum into electrical signals for the camera to convert into zeroes and ones.

# data[].attributes.body
Film grain or granularity is the random optical texture of processed photographic film due to the presence of small particles of a metallic silver, or dye clouds, developed from silver halide that have received enough photons.

# data[].attributes.body
In digital photographs, the term noise refers to a certain type of visual distortion. It looks similar to grain found in film photography, but can also look like splotches of discoloration when it's really bad, and can ruin a photograph.

# data[].attributes.body
F-stop is the term used to denote aperture measurements on your camera. The aperture controls the amount of light that enters the camera lens, and it's measured in f-stops.

# data[].attributes.body
Aperture controls the amount of light that enters your camera. The way that photos are created is reliant on an “exposure triangle” controlled by three major settings.

# data[].attributes.body
In photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image. Bokeh has also been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".

# data[].attributes.body
the distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judged to be in focus in a camera.

# data[].attributes.body
The focal length of a lens is determined when the lens is focused at infinity. Lens focal length tells us the angle of view—how much of the scene will be captured—and the magnification—how large individual elements will be.

# data[].attributes.body
Shutter speed is exactly what it sounds like: It's the speed at which the shutter of the camera closes.

# data[].attributes.body
Bulb mode simply allows the photographer to take a picture for as long as the shutter is depressed

# data[].attributes.body
Motion blur is the blur seen in moving objects in a photograph or a single frame of film or video. It happens because objects move during the time it takes to expose the photo or the frame

# data[].attributes.body
a three-legged stand for supporting a camera or other apparatus. a one-legged support for a camera

# data[].attributes.body
Camera shake is a term used to define the act of accidentally shaking a camera during shooting due to unsteady hands, which results in blurry images.

# data[].attributes.body
18% gray is the “mid-point between black and white on a logarithmic or exponential curve.”

# data[].attributes.body
The spot meter allows your camera to measure a tiny area of the scene. The size of that area is between 1 and 5% of the viewfinder.

# data[].attributes.body
Partial metering covers only the centre 6.2% of the frame in the viewfinder, thus providing precise metering only for the subject.

# data[].attributes.body
Centre-weighted Average metering is like using Evaluative metering with a centre AF point. It places greater emphasis on the centre area while also taking meter reading across the entire frame.

# data[].attributes.body
Evaluative metering is the default metering mode on most cameras. It ensures that the camera will automatically adjust to the right exposure setting even when the ambient lighting shows greater contrast.
