HONEYCOMB GRID

24smoron02794 — 2023-09-22 18:52:16 UTC

The honeycomb grid is a tight structure of a similar shape to the honeycomb made by honey bees. It's affixed to the front of a studio strobe. Or it can be fixed to an off-camera flash. The light shines through the grid and creates a tight beam of light. The aim is to create a focused beam with little diffusion.

BEAUTY DISH

24smoron02794 — 2023-09-22 18:52:26 UTC

A beauty dish is a photographic lighting device that uses a parabolic reflector to distribute light towards a focal point. The light created is between that of a direct flash and a softbox, giving the image a wrapped, contrasted look, which adds a more dramatic effect.

CATCH LIGHTS

24smoron02794 — 2023-09-28 17:43:19 UTC

Also known as an "eye light," it's the highlight reflected off the surface of the eye. Catchlights can be any size, or shape, and the way they come out depends greatly on how the photographer captures the light. It's common to use reflectors to bounce light into the eyes.

CURVES

24smoron02794 — 2023-09-28 17:43:26 UTC

Curves provides more customized contrast control than Levels. Levels provides enhancement of contrast only by setting highlight and shadow points. Curves allows you to adjust contrast by setting and positioning control points along the entire tonal range.

Tintypes, originally known as or ferrotypes or melainotypes, were invented in the 1850s and continued to be produced into the 20th century. The photographic emulsion was applied directly to a thin sheet of iron coated with a dark lacquer or enamel, which produced a unique positive image.

STATIC

24smoron02794 — 2023-10-12 17:44:35 UTC

A shot with no camera movement at all; the fixed camera remains motionless. In most cases, the camera is mounted on a tripod (or a similar support). Long static shots help the viewers to notice subtle changes of the mise en scène.

VISUAL WEIGHT

24smoron02794 — 2023-10-12 17:45:00 UTC

The visual weight in an image is defined as the visual force that appears due to the contrast of light among the visual elements that compound it. The visual weight is a visual force which prevails in the image balance.

24smoron02794 — 2023-10-19 17:43:32 UTC

Split lighting is a lighting technique that lights up half of a subject's face while leaving the other half in a shadow, essentially “splitting” the face.

REMBRANDT LIGHTING

24smoron02794 — 2023-10-19 17:43:45 UTC

Rembrandt lighting is a technique utilizing one light and one reflector or two separate lights. It's a popular technique because it creates images that look both dramatic yet natural. It's predominantly characterized by a lit-up triangle underneath the subject's eye on the less illuminated area of the face

LOOP LIGHTING

24smoron02794 — 2023-10-19 17:43:50 UTC

Loop lighting is a portrait lighting pattern where the subject is lit from about 45 degrees in front of them and above. This creates a nose shadow that 'loops' down at an angle onto their cheek. It is a slightly directional lighting pattern - the light is not flat, but the face is still mostly illuminated.

BUTTERFLY LIGHTING

24smoron02794 — 2023-10-19 17:44:05 UTC

Butterfly lighting is a portrait lighting pattern where the key light is placed above and directly centered with a subject's face. This creates a shadow under the nose that resembles a butterfly.

SOLARGRAPHY

24smoron02794 — 2023-10-26 17:44:16 UTC

SUBTRACTIVE LIGHTING

24smoron02794 — 2023-11-02 17:43:26 UTC

Cameras overlay cyan, magenta, and yellow filters to create color. There isn't a black component because black is not transparent enough. CMY dyes are much more transparent and are instead combined to create darker color.

LIGHTING RATIO

24smoron02794 — 2023-11-02 17:43:34 UTC

Lighting ratios describe the difference in contrast between the lighted side of a subject and the shadow side. The higher the ratio, the more contrast between the highlights and shadows. Look at how the light intensity changes as the ratio increases.

DUST BUNNIES

24smoron02794 — 2023-11-16 18:42:29 UTC

They are often dust particles or, especially in the Spring and Summer months, pollen. If static charges build up, dust bunnies can become attracted to each other, resulting in large “super” dust bunnies. These can collect on the sensor glass of your camera and result in dark blobs when you image.

MIRRORLESS CAMERAS

24smoron02794 — 2023-12-07 18:43:42 UTC

WATERMARK

24smoron02794 — 2023-12-07 18:47:06 UTC

A watermark is a way of signing your images as the owner. It's also a deterrent to copyright infringement. A watermark is usually a logo, stamp, or signature superimposed onto a photo. Photographers use watermarks on their photos to make them easy to identify. They also let people know the picture has a copyright.

DIFFRACTION

24smoron02794 — 2024-01-18 18:45:44 UTC

Diffraction is an optical effect which limits the total resolution of your photography — no matter how many megapixels your camera may have. It happens because light begins to disperse or "diffract" when passing through a small opening (such as your camera's aperture).

IPS MONITORS

24smoron02794 — 2024-01-18 18:45:55 UTC

What is an IPS Monitor? (IPS Monitor Technology) IPS monitors or “In-Plane Switching” monitors, leverage liquid crystals aligned in parallel to produce rich colors.

TOY CAMERAS

24smoron02794 — 2024-02-01 18:43:42 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.
