Camera Obscura

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-08-18 18:17:27 UTC

Camera obscura (meaning “dark room” in Latin) is a box-shaped device used as an aid for drawing or entertainment. Also referred to as a pinhole image, it lets light in through a small opening on one side and projects a reversed and inverted image on the other.

35MM Film

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-08-18 18:21:55 UTC

35 mm film is a film gauge used in filmmaking, and the film standard.^[1] In motion pictures that record on film, 35 mm is the most commonly used gauge. The name of the gauge is not a direct measurement, and refers to the nominal width of the 35 mm format photographic film, which consists of strips 1.377 ± 0.001 inches (34.976 ± 0.025 mm) wide. The standard image exposure length on 35 mm for movies ("single-frame" format) is four perforations per frame along both edges, which results in 16 frames per foot of film.

Twin Lens Camera

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-08-18 18:23:40 UTC

A twin-lens reflex camera (TLR) is a type of camera with two objective lenses of the same focal length. One of the lenses is the photographic objective or "taking lens" (the lens that takes the picture), while the other is used for the viewfinder system,^[1] which is usually viewed from above at waist level.

Gelatin Silver Process

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-08-18 18:26:02 UTC

Abstract

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-09-01 18:29:51 UTC

existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence.

Line

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-09-08 17:48:52 UTC

Line is a point that continues; it implies motion. Lines are open and lead the eyes into a photograph or to an interesting point of the photo.

Shape

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-09-08 17:50:03 UTC

shape defines a flat, enclosed area of space. Shapes are constructed with colors and lines, but all shapes are limited to two dimensions, i.e., width and length. Shape photography is the two-dimensional appearance of objects as your camera captures them.

Color

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-09-08 17:52:16 UTC

a component of light that is separated when it is reflected off of an object. Color begins with light. The color we see is influenced by the characteristics of the source and what it reflects off.

Space

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-09-08 17:53:36 UTC

The rule of space in photography is simply the act of adding visual space in front of the direction that an object is moving, looking or pointing to imply motion and direction and to lead the eye of the viewer

Texture

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-09-08 17:54:49 UTC

photography texture refers to the visual quality of the surface of an object, revealed through variances in shape, tone and color depth. Texture brings life and vibrance to images that would otherwise appear flat and uninspiring.

Balance

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-09-15 18:22:11 UTC

is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space. If the design was a scale, these elements should be balanced to make a design feel stable. In symmetrical balance, the elements used on one side of the design are similar to those on the other side; in asymmetrical balance, the sides are different but still look balanced. In radial balance, the elements are arranged around a central point and may be similar.

Variety

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-09-15 18:24:24 UTC

Movement

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-09-15 18:27:55 UTC

is the path the viewer’s eye takes through the work of art, often to focal areas. Such movement can be directed along lines, edges, shape, and color within the work of art.

Unity

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-09-15 18:29:05 UTC

is the feeling of harmony between all parts of the work of art, which creates a sense of completeness.

Emphasis

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-09-15 18:29:43 UTC

s 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

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-09-20 17:48:01 UTC

Rule of thirds

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-10-04 17:45:28 UTC

The rule of thirds is a "rule of thumb" for composing visual images such as designs, films, paintings, and photographs.^[3] The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections

Leading Lines

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-10-04 17:46:19 UTC

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

Golden Ratio

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-10-04 17:47:03 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

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-10-04 17:47:58 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

27vjimenez34128 — 2023-10-04 17:49:22 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.
