Emphasis is the part of the design that catches the viewer’s attention. Usually the
artist will make one area stand out by contrasting it with other areas. The area could
be different in size, color, texture, shape, etc.

Cool Colors

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-09-20 20:23:31 UTC

Cool colors are typified by blue, green, and light purple. They can calm and soothe. Where warm colors remind you of heat and sunshine, cool colors remind you of water and sky, even ice and snow.

Warm colors

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-09-20 20:24:07 UTC

The phrase warm color is used to describe any color that is vivid or bold in nature. Warm colors are those that tend to advance in space and can be overwhelming. Examples of warm colors include red, yellow and orange

Neutral Colors

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-09-20 20:24:56 UTC

Neutral colors are muted shades that appear to lack color but often have underlying hues that change with different lighting. Examples of neutral colors include beige, taupe, gray, cream, brown, black, and white.

Complimentary Colors

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-09-20 20:25:44 UTC

a color that combined with a given color makes white or black.

Monochromatic Colors

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-09-20 20:26:32 UTC

A monochromatic color scheme is a color palette in which a single color tint is used as the basis for all shades and hues found within the image. The shade of color is varied by changes made to the saturation and/or brightness of the base color.

Gradient

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-09-20 20:27:17 UTC

A gradient is a design element made up of colors that gradually fade into one another. Also known as “color progressions” or “color ramps,” gradients either consist of many shades of the same color, or multiple colors that blend from one to the other.

Constructive Critisism

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-09-26 20:36:40 UTC

A “constructive critique” is a critique which is constructive– it informs the photographer how to improve.

Plagirism

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-09-26 20:37:39 UTC

stealing the idea of someone else to create your own work, without giving any credit to the original source.

Ethical

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-09-26 20:38:34 UTC

Ethical photography means being honest with your subjects, respecting their wishes, and being sure not to exploit them or their life circumstances.

Objective

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-09-26 20:39:29 UTC

To create an unbiased photographic image or documentary

Subjective

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-09-26 20:40:32 UTC

Subjective photography is the creative or artistic process. The aim is to make a personal interpretation, a composition to capture and create an image with style.

Copyright

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-09-26 20:41:37 UTC

Copyright in photography means that you own an image you created. The law says you created that image as soon as the shutter is released.

Trademark

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-09-26 20:42:33 UTC

Pictures can be trademarked. So, if you are using a picture to tell customers that a product or service comes exclusively from you, you can trademark the picture. Trademarking a picture is the best way to protect it for your brand.

Rule of Thirds

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-04 20:23:15 UTC

What is the rule of thirds? 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.

Leading Lines

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-04 20:24:01 UTC

What are leading lines in photography? “Leading lines are a compositional technique where human-made or natural lines lead the viewer's eyes through a photograph to the subject or the heart of the image,” explains photographer Lukas Kosslow.

Golden Ratio

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-04 20:24:39 UTC

The golden ratio is a guide to where to place a subject (a tree, person, building, etc.) or element in a photo (like the horizon) where it will be most pleasing to the eye.

Negative Space

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-04 20:25:13 UTC

Negative space photography is related to minimalist photography. It emphasizes not just the subject but also the empty space around the subject.

Positive Space

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-04 20:25:59 UTC

Simply put, positive space is the actual subject while negative space (also called white space) is the area surrounding the subject. The latter acts as breathing room for your eyes.

Backlight

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-13 20:24:30 UTC

illumination from behind.
"the camera offers useful features such as backlight compensation"

Diffused Lighting

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-13 20:25:43 UTC

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.

Ambient Light

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-13 20:26:49 UTC

Ambient light is any light a photographer or cinematographer did not bring to the shoot. Also known as available light, it's any light that you haven't set up yourself.

Chiaroscuro

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-13 20:27:47 UTC

In photography, the chiaroscuro lighting technique can be defined simply as high contrast lighting. You use the extremes of dark and light to create an arresting image.

Sihouette

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-13 20:28:55 UTC

What is silhouette photography? A silhouette is a solid, dark image of a subject against a brighter background. Silhouette pictures usually show the subject in profile.

Diptych

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-18 20:24:57 UTC

Diptych photography is where two separate images are placed side by side. The two images may be of the same subject or two different subjects. You can use diptych photography to create a variety of effects.

Triptych

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-18 20:25:43 UTC

A photographic triptych is a common style used in modern commercial artwork. The photographs are usually arranged with a plain border between them. The work may consist of separate images that are variants on a theme, or may be one larger image split into three.

Orthographic View

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-18 20:26:20 UTC

The term orthographic sometimes means a technique in multiview projection in which principal axes or the planes of the subject are also parallel with the projection plane to create the primary views.

Barrel Lens Distortion

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-18 20:27:22 UTC

Definition: The mechanical structure that contains and protects (i) individual lens elements or lens groups (ii) mechanical arrangement for focusing (iii) mechanical arrangement for adjusting lens aperture (iv) mount which connects lens to instrument such as a camera.

Pincushion Distortion

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-18 20:28:28 UTC

In pincushion distortion, image magnification increases with the distance from the optical axis. The visible effect is that lines that do not go through the centre of the image are bowed inwards, towards the centre of the image, like a pincushion.

ISO

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-25 20:24:45 UTC

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.

ASA

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-25 20:25:25 UTC

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.

Image Sensor

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-25 20:26:16 UTC

An image sensor is a device that allows the camera to convert photons – that is, light – into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the device.

Film Grain

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-25 20:27:01 UTC

Film grain is the visible silver crystals in a film negative's emulsion. These light-sensitive silver halides change into pure metallic silver when exposed to light, which is how an image is captured on film.

Digital Noise

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-10-25 20:28:00 UTC

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.

Aperture

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-01 20:23:00 UTC

Aperture refers to the opening of a lens's diaphragm through which light passes. It is calibrated in f/stops and is generally written as numbers such as 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11 and 16.

F/Stop

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-01 20:23:37 UTC

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.

Lens focal length

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-01 20:24:48 UTC

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.

Depth of Field

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-01 20:25:26 UTC

the distance between the nearest and furthest elements in a scene that appear to be "acceptably sharp" in an image. The distance between the camera and the first element that is considered to be acceptably sharp is called DoF near limit.

Bokeh

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-01 20:26:03 UTC

the visual quality of the out-of-focus areas of a photographic image, especially as rendered by a particular lens.

Auto Mode

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-08 21:23:11 UTC

Auto mode works exactly the way it sounds: It gives your camera complete control over its various settings, including the ISO, the aperture, the shutter speed, the autofocus mode, and even the flash.

Program Mode

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-08 21:23:57 UTC

In program mode the camera selects and sets both the shutter speed and the aperture.

Manual Mode

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-08 21:24:35 UTC

Manual mode means you're in charge of adjusting aperture — one of photography's most important elements.

Shutter Priority Mode

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-08 21:25:23 UTC

Shutter Speed Priority AE, or simply 'Shutter Priority', is a shooting mode whereby the photographer sets the shutter speed, while the camera automatically sets the Aperture.

Aperture Priority Mode

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-08 21:26:11 UTC

In digital photography, camera technology now features modes that can help adjust those settings for you. One of those modes is aperture priority. With it, the photographer selects a specific aperture value and the camera autoselects the proper shutter speed based on how much light it detects.

Shutter Speed

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-15 21:24:20 UTC

Shutter speed is exactly what it sounds like: It's the speed at which the shutter of the camera closes. A fast shutter speed creates a shorter exposure — the amount of light the camera takes in — and a slow shutter speed gives the photographer a longer exposure.

Bulb Mode

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-15 21:25:01 UTC

Bulb Mode is an exposure setting that is used when seeking to use a shutter speed of more than 30 seconds.

Motion Blur

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-15 21:25:38 UTC

Motion blur is the apparent streaking of moving objects in a photograph or a sequence of frames, such as a film or animation.

Tripods/Monopods

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-15 21:26:17 UTC

a three-legged stand for supporting a camera or other apparatus.

Camera Shake

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-15 21:26:44 UTC

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. This generally occurs more often if you're shooting on a low shutter speed or with a heavy lens, and can be avoided by using a tripod and cable release setup.

Long exposure

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-29 21:24:13 UTC

Long exposure photography is the name given to the technique in which the camera's shutter is left open

Time Lapse

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-29 21:24:58 UTC

denoting the photographic technique of taking a sequence of frames at set intervals to record changes that take place slowly over time. When the frames are shown at normal speed, or in quick succession, the action seems much faster.

Light Painting

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-11-29 21:25:37 UTC

ight painting using handheld lights to selectively illuminate or colour parts of the subject or scene

Panning

pressing

Spot Metering

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-12-06 21:23:37 UTC

allows the camera to measure the light reflected from the person's face and expose properly for that, instead of adjusting exposure for the much brighter light around the hairline.

Partial Metering

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-12-06 21:24:24 UTC

Partial metering covers only the centre 6.2% of the frame in the viewfinder, thus providing precise metering only for the subject. When the background is brighter than the subject due to reasons like back lighting, this metering mode is particularly useful. It is useful for back-lit shots or tiny subjects.

Center weighted average metering

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-12-06 21:25:06 UTC

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.

Evalutive Metering

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-12-06 21:25:44 UTC

Evaluative metering is the mostly used automatic metering mode in everyday photography and can be applied in most shooting scenarios. As its name suggests, it takes a series of readings in zones that cover the entire frame, and then calculates the overall average exposure value.

18% grey

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2023-12-06 21:26:22 UTC

By definition 18% gray is the “mid-point between black and white on a logarithmic or exponential curve.”

Sepia tone

27ekirchhoff09752 — 2024-01-10 21:26:02 UTC

Technically speaking, sepia toning is a chemical process that converts the metallic silver in the emulsion of a photographic print into a silver sulfide compound. This changes the color of the resulting image and makes the photo more resistant to environmental pollutants. This helps photos hold up over time.
