Camera Obscura

sloanefolda12b — 2023-08-18 20:58:01 UTC

camera obscura, ancestor of the photographic camera. The Latin name means “dark chamber,” and the earliest versions, dating to antiquity, consisted of small darkened rooms with light admitted through a single tiny hole.

35mm Film

sloanefolda12b — 2023-08-18 20:59:22 UTC

LoCascio added that “shooting on 35mm or even 16mm, is that the resulting image immediately offers up an inherent beauty and softness that we unconsciously just associate with cinema. Film handles and retains colors better than any other format, is easier on the eyes than any format, and is best for preservation.”

Twin Lens Camera

sloanefolda12b — 2023-08-18 21:00:22 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, which is usually viewed from above at waist level.

Gelatin Silver Process

sloanefolda12b — 2023-08-18 21:02:07 UTC

Cool colors

sloanefolda12b — 2023-09-20 20:23:06 UTC

Cool colors include green, blue, and purple, and variations of those three colors. Blue is the only primary color within the cool spectrum. Greens take on some of the attributes of yellow, and purple takes on some of the attributes of red.

Warm colors

sloanefolda12b — 2023-09-20 20:23:48 UTC

On the color wheel of primary and secondary colors, the warm colors are red, yellow, and orange. Colors that have a red, yellow, and orange hue, will also be warm.

Neutral colors

sloanefolda12b — 2023-09-20 20:24:18 UTC

The four most common neutrals are black, white, brown and grey, and are created by mixing two complementary colors. These neutrals don't have hue undertones, causing them to be considered “pure”. All other neutrals are considered near-neutrals

a condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions.

Rule of thirds

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-04 20:22:00 UTC

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. While there are other forms of composition, the rule of thirds generally leads to compelling and well-composed shots.

Leading lines

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-04 20:22:36 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,” explains photographer Lukas Kosslow.

Golden Ratio

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-04 20:23:11 UTC

The golden ratio, also known as the golden number, golden proportion, or the divine proportion, is a ratio between two numbers that equals approximately 1.618. Usually written as the Greek letter phi, it is strongly associated with the Fibonacci sequence, a series of numbers wherein each number is added to the last.

Negative Space

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-04 20:24:05 UTC

Negative space is a term used in art to describe the space surrounding a subject. Also called white space, it is typically empty and lacks details as to simplify an image. Negative space surrounds positive space in a work of art.

Postive space

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-04 20:24:45 UTC

Positive space is a term used to refer to the areas of interest and focus in a piece of artwork. Positive space is often the subject of a work of art such as a person, landscape, or object. Even in abstract art work where there may not be a singular subject, shapes and patterns can become positive space.

Blacklight

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-13 20:23:12 UTC

Backlight is light that hits an actor or subject from behind, typically higher than the subject it is exposing. Backlighting an object or actor from the background creates more depth and shape to a subject.

Diffused Lighting

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-13 20:24:06 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. The lampshade softens and scatters the light.

Ambient Light

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-13 20:25:00 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. This includes natural light or even pre-existing lighting built in and around the location where you're shooting.

Chiaroscuro

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-13 20:26:15 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. It can be used in colour or black and white photography.

Silhouette

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-13 20:27:22 UTC

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

Diptych

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-18 20:23:37 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

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-18 20:24:24 UTC

A triptych is a group of 3 separate images displayed together. But crucially, the 3 images are more than just 3 photographs set out next to each other - they work together to create something more than that.

Orthographic View

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-18 20:25:17 UTC

Orthographic views are two-dimensional views of three-dimensional objects. Orthographic views are created by projecting a view of an object onto a plane which is usually positioned so that it is parallel to one of the planes of the object.

Barrel Lens Distortion

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-18 20:26:07 UTC

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). A good way to check for barrel distortion is to look for parallel lines in the area you are shooting and see if the lines appear parallel in your image.

Pincusion Distortion

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-18 20:26:55 UTC

Pincushion distortion is where straight lines bend or “pinch” inward from the center of the image. Usually pincushion distortion happens at the telephoto end (ie. 200mm) of a zoom lens such as a 70-200mm lens. It can actually be great for portraits because it can make people look thinner than they are!

ISO

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-25 20:23:05 UTC

ISO controls the amount of light your camera lets in, and therefore how dark or light your photos will be. Here are some top tips to help calculate correct exposure: Low values, such as ISO 100, are best for a sunny outdoor shoot. For shooting at night — or indoors with dim lighting — use an ISO of 1600 or higher.

ASA

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-25 20:24:05 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

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-25 20:24:35 UTC

in a camera system, the image sensor receives incident light (photons) that is focused through a lens or other optics. Depending on whether the sensor is CCD or CMOS, it will transfer information to the next stage as either a voltage or a digital signal.

Film Grain

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-25 20:25:10 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

sloanefolda12b — 2023-10-25 20:25:36 UTC

Just like with sound, where noise refers to auditory disruptions, in photography, the term digital noise refers to visual distortion. Noise looks like tiny colored pixels or specks in your photograph, and sometimes resembles the grain that you may see in film photography.

Aperture

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-01 20:22:59 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

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-01 20:23:39 UTC

he f-stop is the "aperture" opening of a camera lens, which allows light to come in. It also determines how much is in focus in front of and behind the subject (see depth of field). The f-stop is one of the two primary measurements of a camera lens.

Lens Focal Length

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-01 20:24:24 UTC

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. The longer the focal length, the narrower the angle of view and the higher the magnification.

Depth of Field

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-01 20:25:12 UTC

As a result, depth of field (DoF) is 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

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-01 20:25:47 UTC

Bokeh is defined as “the effect of a soft out-of-focus background that you get when shooting a subject, using a fast lens, at the widest aperture, such as f/2.8 or wider.” Simply put, bokeh is the pleasing or aesthetic quality of out-of-focus blur in a photograph.

Auto mode

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-08 21:24:47 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. Therefore, with your camera set to Auto mode, your camera does all the heavy lifting, while you simply point and shoot.

Program mode

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-08 21:25:21 UTC

Program mode is the mode that is almost still like auto, but you can change where the camera sits the two principle settings, aperture and shutter speed. When you change your settings, it will adjust both aperture and shutter speed to suit the scene that you are pointing the camera at

Manual Mode

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-08 21:26:00 UTC

Manual mode means you're in charge of adjusting aperture — one of photography's most important elements. It's the hole in the back of your lens that controls light and depth of field via f-numbers. If you want more exposure, you'll need a low f-number for a wide aperture.

Shutter Priority Mode

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-08 21:26:33 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

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-08 21:27:18 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

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-15 21:22:36 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

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-15 21:23:06 UTC

Bulb (B) is a feature present on all Canon EOS cameras and allows you to use shutter speeds slower than the standard maximum of 30 seconds. All EOS cameras allow you to set a shutter speed as slow as 30 seconds. If you need longer exposure times you can use the Bulb mode.

Motion Blur

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-15 21:23:49 UTC

In photography, motion blur is the purposeful streaking or blurring of an object in motion in a photo for visual effect. It's a great technique for capturing movement in a still image, and is often used in both nature photography and sports photography.

Tripod/Monopod

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-15 21:24:36 UTC

Monopods are similar to tripods but they have a single leg instead of three. They usually use a quick release plate to affix the camera to a head that is screwed into the leg. Monopods can be advantageous in that they are often allowed in places that tripods aren't but stabilization is required for crisp shots.

Camera Shake

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-15 21:25:10 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

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-29 21:23:30 UTC

Long exposure photography is the name given to the technique in which the camera's shutter is left open during a somewhat lengthy period of time. The resulting image captures the trail of moving objects in front of the camera, while showing still elements razor sharp.

Time lapse

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-29 21:24:16 UTC

Time-lapse photography. noun. photographing of a slow and continuous process at regular intervals, for projection at a higher speed.

Light Painting

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-29 21:24:50 UTC

Light painting is the art of creating photos by setting long exposure times on a camera and using a moving light source to “paint.” A light painting photographer opens a camera's shutter and keeps it open as they draw in the air with a light source.

Panning

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-29 21:25:25 UTC

Panning is a photographic technique that combines a slow shutter speed with camera motion to create a sense of speed around a moving object. It is a way to keep your subject in focus while blurring your background. Panning is typically done on a subject moving horizontally, such as a moving car, or a running dog.

Burst Mode

sloanefolda12b — 2023-11-29 21:25:54 UTC

Burst will shoot several images in close succession. When burst mode is set all you need to do is press and hold down the shutter button and capture a stream of pictures rather than a single shot.

Spot Metering

sloanefolda12b — 2023-12-06 21:23:32 UTC

Spot metering 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

sloanefolda12b — 2023-12-06 21:24:05 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

sloanefolda12b — 2023-12-06 21:24:57 UTC

Centre-weighted average metering concentrates the metering on the central part of the viewfinder but also takes the rest of the frame into consideration. This mode is favorable when you want to capture a well-balanced exposure, but biased towards whatever is right in the middle of the shot.

Evaluative metering

sloanefolda12b — 2023-12-06 21:25:52 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% Gray

sloanefolda12b — 2023-12-06 21:26:31 UTC

18% gray cards have been used for decades as a tool onto which photographers could aim a spot meter and use the brightness as the exposure of the scene. Interestingly enough, 18% gray cards will reflect the equal amount of light that they receive.

Shadows

sloanefolda12b — 2024-01-10 21:23:51 UTC

Shadows change shape, intensity, and even color along with the angle, direction, and temperature of light. Any photo that uses shadows as a prominent part of the composition — to enhance the contrast of a subject or as the subject itself — is shadow photography.

Midtones

sloanefolda12b — 2024-01-10 21:24:22 UTC

Within The Realm Of Photography, Midtones Refer To The Tonal Range That Lies Between The Extreme Highlights And Shadows, Lending A Sense Of Depth, Dimension, And Naturalness To A Photograph.

Highlights

sloanefolda12b — 2024-01-10 21:24:59 UTC

Highlights are the lightest elements in an image, whereas shadows are the darkest areas. Dynamic range is the ratio between those vivid highlights and dark shadows, from bright white to pure black. That range is key to an image's depth and drama. If a photo has poor dynamic range, the image can appear flat or gray.

Vignette

sloanefolda12b — 2024-01-10 21:25:54 UTC

What is a vignette in photography? A vignette is a darker border - sometimes as a blur or a shadow - at the periphery of photos. It can be an intentional effect to highlight certain aspects of the image or as a result of using the wrong settings, equipment or lens when taking a photo.

Sepia Tone

sloanefolda12b — 2024-01-10 21:26:27 UTC

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.

AF points

sloanefolda12b — 2024-01-17 21:26:32 UTC

An AF point is a specific part of the frame where the camera is able to focus on something. When looking through the viewfinder, these points are denoted by small squares clustered around the centre of the frame.

Bracketing

sloanefolda12b — 2024-01-17 21:27:17 UTC

Basically, when you bracket your shots you take exactly the same picture of your subject at several different exposures. This technique gives you a range of options to choose from when you're editing. As a result, it's much less likely that you'll end up with a badly underexposed or overexposed photo.

Exposure Level Indicater

sloanefolda12b — 2024-01-17 21:28:27 UTC

In Manual mode, the exposure level indicator shows how much your set exposure values deviate from the levels the camera believes are optimal, which always reside at the standard exposure index.

Exposure compensation

sloanefolda12b — 2024-01-17 21:29:11 UTC

Exposure compensation basically helps you override automatic exposure adjustments your camera makes in situations with uneven light distribution, filters, non-standard processing, or underexposure or overexposure. It lets you take control of your image's brightness by manually increasing or decreasing exposure.

White balance card

sloanefolda12b — 2024-01-17 21:30:19 UTC

It'll help you to get accurate exposure and color in your photographs. You might not need it all the time. It's in handy in certain situations, especially in cases where your camera meter is limited and can't get it right. You can use your grey card to correct both white balance and exposure on the spot.
