Color Fringing

25ygarcia06706 — 2024-08-23 19:00:06 UTC

Chromatic aberration, also known as color fringing, is a color distortion that creates an outline of unwanted color along the edges of objects in a photograph. Often, it appears along metallic surfaces or where there's a high contrast between light and dark objects, such as a black wall in front of a bright blue sky.

Cubism

25ygarcia06706 — 2024-09-05 17:42:52 UTC

Posterization

25ygarcia06706 — 2024-09-09 18:21:02 UTC

the visual effect produced when an image (such as a print or photograph) has a limited number of tones or colors rather than gradations of tone and color.

Aliasing/Moire Pattern

25ygarcia06706 — 2024-09-09 18:21:24 UTC

Image aliasing is a visual phenomenon in digital imaging where a sampled representation of an image exhibits undesirable artifacts or distortions. These artifacts typically appear as jagged or “stair-stepped” edges, which can significantly reduce the overall quality and detail in the image.

JPEG Artifacts

25ygarcia06706 — 2024-09-09 18:21:56 UTC

JPEG artifacts are caused by compression when an image is saved in the . jpg format. Each time an image is saved in this format it is compressed and “non-essential” data is discarded. The result of compression is that an image can suffer from blockiness, mosquito noise (around edges) and color degradation.

Blooming

25ygarcia06706 — 2024-09-09 18:22:03 UTC

The basic rule is, "On a sunny day set aperture to f/16 and shutter speed to the [reciprocal of the] ISO film speed [or ISO setting] for a subject in direct sunlight." In simplest terms, bright sun = f:16 @ 1/film-speed-number (aperture and shutter speed, respectively).

Alternative Proceses

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-01-30 18:46:16 UTC

The term alternative process refers to any non-traditional or non-commercial photographic printing process. Currently, the standard analog photographic printing process for black-and-white photographs is the gelatin silver process.

The Decisive Moment

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-01-30 18:46:31 UTC

Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organisation of forms which give that event its proper expression.

Grip & Rip [Spray & Pray]

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-01-30 18:47:04 UTC

It means to set your camera in a fast burst mode, shooting several photos per second, and then to simply hold down the shutter button while hoping to capture the perfect image.

Toy Camera

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-06 18:43:02 UTC

A toy camera is a simple, inexpensive film camera. The original Diana camera was made in Hong Kong in the 1960s and 1970s. The Diana+ and Diana F+ copies are currently produced by Lomography. Hong Kong's Holga camera takes medium format photographs on 120 film. A photograph taken with a Holga.

Snapshot Aesthetic

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-06 18:43:09 UTC

The snapshot aesthetic – an imperfect, uncomposed, and spontaneous visual language in photography, typically associated with amateur imagemakers – has been adopted across various fields, from contemporary art photography to commercial advertising campaigns.

The Sabattier Effect

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-06 18:43:20 UTC

A partial reversal of tones in a photograph due to exposure to light during development, resulting in an image with a combination of normal and reversed polarity.

Pictorialism

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-06 18:43:28 UTC

Pictorialism was a photography movement that emphasized the artistic qualities of photography over its documentary uses

Femto Photography

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-06 18:43:35 UTC

Femto-photography is a technique for recording the propagation of ultrashort pulses of light through a scene at a very high speed

Lomography

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-13 18:44:15 UTC

Lomography is a photographic genre that relies on a camera rather than on a subject matter or technique. It encapsulates all photographs taken with a Lomo camera. And a Lomo camera is nothing like a modern DSLR or mirrorless camera.

Incident Light Meter Reading

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-13 18:44:29 UTC

An incident meter (sometimes called a bulb-meter) works by reading the intensity of the light that falls onto the subject, as opposed to reading the light reflected off of the subject as the reflective meter does. Usually, you take the reading from the position of the subject.

Reflected Light Meter Reading

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-13 18:44:55 UTC

A reflected light meter averages the light to produce an average exposure value, rendering the subjects placed before the camera as 18 percent gray. Whether the composition is primarily dark or light, the meter's reading will produce an average value resulting in a grey or middle value image.

Push Processing [film]

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-13 18:45:10 UTC

Pushing film will both increase the film grain, making it more noticeable, and will add more contrast to your photos. In fact, many people push black and white films solely to get more contrast out of certain film stocks.

Pull Processing [film]

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-13 18:45:23 UTC

Pulling film: In contrast to pushing, pulling film involves intentionally overexposing it and then compensating for the overexposure during development. This technique decreases the effective ISO of the film. The image appears darker, with reduced contrast and potentially finer grain.

Circular Polarizer

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-20 18:44:20 UTC

A circular polarizer is designed to do one thing: remove or control reflections from surfaces like water, glass, paint, leaves, sky, buildings, streets, and the list goes on. When light hits those surfaces they create glare that increases highlights, reduces color and detail.

Combination Printing

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-20 18:44:29 UTC

Combination printing is a photographic technique of using the negatives of two or more images in conjunction with one another to create a single image.

Contre-Jour

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-20 18:44:36 UTC

Contre-jour (French pronunciation: [kɔ̃tʁə ʒuʁ]; lit. 'against daylight') is a photographic technique in which the camera is pointing directly toward a source of light, as well as an equivalent technique of painting.

Duotone [Printing Method]

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-20 18:44:52 UTC

Much like what it describes, the word “duotone” has two parts: “duo,” meaning double, and “tone,” meaning color. In photography, toning is the process of recoloring grayscale images, and duo-toning describes doing so with two colors—replacing the darks with one and the lights with another.

Giclee [Print]

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-20 18:45:03 UTC

A Giclee print is a high-quality fine art print that is produced using a specialized inkjet printer. The word "giclee" is derived from the French verb "gicler," which means "to squirt" or "to spray," and refers to the process by which the printer applies ink to the paper or canvas.

Barn Doors [Studio Light Accessory]

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-27 18:47:18 UTC

Barn Doors are metal flaps that extend out past the light source to help control the light from spilling everywhere. You can spin them to deliver horizontal, vertical, or diagonal light control patterns.

Stop Down [Aperature Lingo]

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-27 18:47:36 UTC

In photography, stopping down refers to increasing the numerical f-stop number (for example, going from f/2 to f/4), which decreases the size (diameter) of the aperture of a lens, resulting in reducing the amount of light entering the iris of a lens. Increasing f-stop decreases the aperture of a lens.

Open Up [Aperature Lingo]

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-27 18:47:54 UTC

When taking photographs to 'open up' or 'opening up' refers to the practice of allowing more light to be recorded by a photographic medium for example a camera film or sensor. Opening up can be done in one of two ways; By selecting a larger aperture setting on a lens, or setting a longer exposure time on a camera.

Social Documentary Photography

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-27 18:48:08 UTC

When the images and documentaries created concern social or environmental themes, we then usually call that Social Documentary Photography.

The Scheimpflug Principle [Shime-p-floog]

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-02-27 18:48:41 UTC

The Scheimpflug principle is a description of the geometric relationship between the orientation of the plane of focus, the lens plane, and the image plane of an optical system (such as a camera) when the lens plane is not parallel to the image plane.

Tonalism

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-03-20 17:44:22 UTC

In photography, tonalism, a late 19th and early 20th-century style, focuses on evoking mood and atmosphere through subtle color tones and soft, often muted, lighting, rather than precise realism or vibrant colors.

Synchronism

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-03-20 17:44:31 UTC

In photography, flash synchronization or flash sync is the synchronizing the firing of a photographic flash with the opening of the shutter admitting light to photographic film or electronic image sensor.

Symbolism

25ygarcia06706 — 2025-03-20 17:44:39 UTC
