print or display (a photograph or other image) using only a small number of different tones.

Aliasing (Moire Pattern)

eshllama1212 — 2023-08-21 19:00:15 UTC

Moiré occurs in a photograph when a scene, an object or a fabric being photographed contains repetitive details (dots, lines, checks, stripes) that exceed the sensor resolution. The camera produces a strange-looking wavy pattern that is very distracting and not what you want from a corporate headshot

JPEG Artifacts

eshllama1212 — 2023-08-21 19:01:49 UTC

Just as the name of JPEG Artifacts, JPEG artifacts are caused by compression saved in JPEG files. JPEG Artifacts are the blocky or blotchy areas of an image. JPEG Artifacts are the aggressive data compression result or conversion between different formats that cause the discard of some image data.

Blooming

eshllama1212 — 2023-08-21 19:04:30 UTC

Blooming refers to the overflow of excess confined photo-generated charge from a photodiode well into adjacent structures when the maximum well charge capacity is exceeded. The extent of degradation of adjacent image areas as a result of blooming depends on the CCD fabrication details and the degree of charge overflow.

Minimalism

eshllama1212 — 2023-08-31 17:44:34 UTC

Like other forms of minimalist art, minimalist photography is about stripping a subject down to its essence. Create photos that cut through the clutter with clean lines, empty spaces and only the essential elements.

Pop Art

eshllama1212 — 2023-08-31 17:45:18 UTC

Although it did not have a specific style or attitude, Pop art was defined as a diverse response to the postwar era's commodity-driven values, often using commonplace objects (such as comic strips, soup cans, road signs, and hamburgers) as subject matter or as part of the work.

Avant-Grande

eshllama1212 — 2023-08-31 17:46:08 UTC

In the arts and in literature, the term avant-garde identifies a genre of art, an experimental work of art, and the experimental artist who created the work of art, which usually is aesthetically innovative, whilst initially being ideologically unacceptable to the artistic establishment of the time

Surrealism

eshllama1212 — 2023-08-31 17:46:38 UTC

Surrealism aims to revolutionize human experience. It balances a rational vision of life with one that asserts the power of the unconscious and dreams. The movement's artists find magic and strange beauty in the unexpected and the uncanny, the disregarded and the unconventional.

Appropriation

eshllama1212 — 2023-09-07 17:44:39 UTC

Appropriation in art is the use of pre-existing objects or images with little or no transformation applied to them. The use of appropriation has played a significant role in the history of the arts

Double Exposure

eshllama1212 — 2023-09-07 17:45:23 UTC

In photography and cinematography, a multiple exposure is the superimposition of two or more exposures to create a single image, and double exposure has a corresponding meaning in respect of two images. The exposure values may or may not be identical to each other

Still Life

In photography and optics, a neutral-density filter, or ND filter, is a filter that reduces or modifies the intensity of all wavelengths, or colors, of light equally, giving no changes in hue of color rendition. It can be a colorless or grey filter, and is denoted by Wratten number 96

Cross Processing

eshllama1212 — 2023-09-14 17:48:04 UTC

Cross processing refers to the technique of intentionally processing film in the wrong chemicals, creating colour shifts and increased contrast. For example, shooting a roll of colour slide film and developing it as if it were colour negative film, or visa versa

Honeycomb Grid

eshllama1212 — 2023-09-22 18:53:37 UTC

The “honeycomb Grid” is a simple device to direct the light in a tight beam. It is an example of a range of grids used in front of lights to harden the light source and prevent the light from spreading out into a wider, more diffused beam.

Beauty Dish

eshllama1212 — 2023-09-22 18:55:01 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.

Snoot

eshllama1212 — 2023-09-22 18:55:29 UTC

A snoot is a tube or similar object that fits over a light used in theatrical lighting or photography, to control the direction and radius of the light beam. Snoots can be cylindrical or truncated conical in shape, different lengths and diameters, and made of various materials.

Softbox

eshllama1212 — 2023-09-22 18:55:55 UTC

A softbox is a light modifier that confines light from an artificial source into a wire framed box and releases it through a layer of diffusion. Softboxes are commonly used in photography as a soft source of light that minimizes harsh shadows

eshllama1212 — 2023-09-22 18:56:16 UTC

A monolight is a self-contained studio strobe light for photography that contains a flash head, power controls, and electronics in a single unit. Its purpose is to emit a powerful and brief flash of light to illuminate a subject.

Catch Lights

eshllama1212 — 2023-09-28 17:43:45 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 (Photoshop)

eshllama1212 — 2023-09-28 17:44:21 UTC

The Curves tool is similar to levels, but it gives you more power to control shadows, highlights, and midtones separately. Because it's a more advanced tool, you'll need to be careful when using it to adjust your images.

Levels (Photoshop)

eshllama1212 — 2023-09-28 17:45:02 UTC

Levels is a tool in Photoshop and other image editing programs which can move and stretch the brightness levels of an image histogram. It has the power to adjust brightness, contrast, and tonal range by specifying the location of complete black, complete white, and midtones in a histogram

Ring Light

eshllama1212 — 2023-09-28 17:45:31 UTC

A ring light is a circular light or flash with a hole in the center for a lens or phone. Ring lights are often used by vloggers to create flattering, even lighting, by fashion photographers for beauty shots, and by macro photographers for even lighting while close up.

Tilt-Shift Photography

eshllama1212 — 2023-09-28 17:46:20 UTC

A tilt shot is shot that uses a cinematographic technique called tilting in which the camera stays fixed but rotates up and down on a vertical plane. Tilting is similar to the motion of an individual raising or lowering their heads

SOOC (Acronym)

eshllama1212 — 2023-09-28 17:47:01 UTC

SOOC is an abbreviation of the photography term “Straight Out Of Camera”, simply meaning that an image can be good enough to print straight from the camera without further processing.

Ambrotype

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-05 17:42:38 UTC

Ambrotypes were most popular in the mid-1850s to mid-1860s. Cartes de visite and other paper print photographs, easily available in multiple copies, replaced them. An ambrotype is comprised of an underexposed glass negative placed against a dark background. The dark backing material creates a positive image.

Polaroid Transfer

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-05 17:43:03 UTC

In a Polaroid transfer, the image is peeled apart prematurely and the negative is placed down on a desired material. A roller is sometimes used to ensure the negative is laying down flat on the material. After a certain amount of time, the negative is peeled back.

Photogravure

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-05 17:43:35 UTC

Simply put, creating a photogravure involves using a photograph or negative to etch an image into a copper plate with light and chemicals, then printing it traditionally with ink on paper. So technically, it is a mechanically produced print

Cyanotype

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-05 17:44:00 UTC

Cyanotype photography is a camera-less technique that involves laying an object on paper coated with a solution of iron salts before exposing it to UV light and washing with water to create stunning white and Prussian blue images.

The Chlorophyll Process

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-05 17:44:44 UTC

The chlorophyll process is an organic alternative photography process akin to the anthotype process. However, instead of printing on the crushed extract of fruit or plant matter, the prints are bleached by sunlight directly onto the surface of leaves using a positive.

Tintype

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-12 17:44:49 UTC

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

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-12 17:46:00 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

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-12 17:46:36 UTC

Weight or balance are terms that refer to the visual impact of elements in your composition. The stronger an element's visual weight, the more it draws in the eye. To achieve a balanced composition, pay attention to the visual weight of the objects.

Render

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-12 17:47:13 UTC

Rendering or image synthesis is the process of generating a photorealistic or non-photorealistic image from a 2D or 3D model by means of a computer program. The resulting image is referred to as the render.

Illusion of Space

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-12 17:48:21 UTC

Illusionistic space creates the three-dimensional sense of space by adding depth through various artistic techniques. Actual space relates specifically to three-dimensional items where space is real and tangible. It concerns itself with artworks such as pottery, jewelry, sculpture, family mementos, and special objects.

Split Lighting

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-19 17:45:05 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. This splitting effect is achieved by a light source that is perpendicular to the subject illuminating directly from one specific side

Rembrandt Lighting

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-19 17:45:35 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 (fill side)

Loop Lighting

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-19 17:46:01 UTC

A loop lighting pattern is created by using a light source positioned just to the side and pointed downward toward the subject. When working with a continuous light source or a strobe with a modelling lamp, positioning the light is very simple since the shadows can be seen immediately.

Butterfly Lighting

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-19 17:46:39 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. It's also known as 'Paramount lighting,' named for classic Hollywood glamour photography.

Broad Lighting

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-19 17:47:11 UTC

Broad lighting is a type of lighting photographers use primarily for portrait photography. In this lighting technique, light illuminates the broad side of the subject's face in front of the camera

Short Lighting

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-19 17:47:41 UTC

Short lighting is a lighting technique used primarily in portrait photography in which the far side of a subject's face is lit relative to the camera. This leaves the near side of the face darker or entirely shadowed.

the first completely abstract kind of photograph, composed of kaleidoscopic repetitions of forms achieved by photographing objects through a triangular arrangement of three mirrors.

Scanography

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-26 17:43:42 UTC

Scanography (also spelled scannography), more commonly referred to as scanner photography, is the process of capturing digitized images of objects for the purpose of creating printable art using a flatbed "photo" scanner with a CCD (charge-coupled device) array capturing device.

Typology Photography

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-26 17:44:16 UTC

Typology is the study of types, and a photographic typology is a suite of images or related forms, shot in a consistent, repetitive manner; to be fully understood, the images must be viewed as a complete series.

New Topographics

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-26 17:44:49 UTC

New topographics was a term coined by William Jenkins in 1975 to describe a group of American photographers (such as Robert Adams and Lewis Baltz) whose pictures had a similar banal aesthetic, in that they were formal, mostly black and white prints of the urban landscape.

Solargraphy

eshllama1212 — 2023-10-26 17:45:44 UTC

In the simplest pinhole camera, the sun will leave traces on an emulsion of photosensitive materials on a piece of black-and-white photographic paper. Solargraphy is an ecological way to take photographs as the solargraphs are neither developed nor fixed in any fluids.

Kelvin

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-02 19:44:13 UTC

In photography, Kelvin represents the temperature of light directly correlated with the color of the burning carbon at that temperature. When you “shoot in Kelvin”, you are manually adjusting the camera's white balance to match that of the Kelvin temperature in the room.

Subtractive Lighting

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-02 19:44:41 UTC

Subtractive lighting is just what the names implies: removing light or, in essence, creating shadows to achieve a more dimensional portrait.

Lighting Ratio

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-02 19:45:03 UTC

Lighting ratio in photography refers to the comparison of key light (the main source of light from which shadows fall) to the total fill light (the light that fills in the shadow areas). The higher the lighting ratio, the higher the contrast of the image; the lower the ratio, the lower the contrast.

ICC Profile

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-02 19:45:44 UTC

According to the International Color Consortium (ICC,) ICC profile is a set of data that characterizes a color input or output device. The profiles typically describe the color attributes of a particular device by defining the mapping between the device source and a profile connection space.

Flat Lighting

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-02 19:46:15 UTC

Flat lighting is a style of even lighting that produces very little depth and contrast. Flat lighting is generally not considered a good thing but there are reasons why it may be preferable in a specific context. A scene can wind up with flat light intentionally or by accident

Chimping

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-16 18:43:52 UTC

Chimping is a colloquial term used in digital photography to describe the habit of checking every photo on the camera display (LCD) immediately after capture

Nifty Fifty

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-16 18:44:50 UTC

A nifty fifty is a fast 50mm lens. The “nifty” part comes from a very wide aperture—under f/1.8. The “fifty” refers to the focal length. A fast 50mm lens is the closest you can get to the human eye. This means low amounts of distortion and a similar field of view.

Togs

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-16 18:45:40 UTC

And each increment is referred to as a stop. If you change the ISO from 200 to 400, that is one stop. Tog/Photog: It's short for a photographer. A Street Tog is slang for a street photographer. Touching up: As a photography term, touching up means enhancing your image in post-processing.

Muddy

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-16 18:48:47 UTC

Most of the time a muddy effect is caused by not having enough separation in colours and a lack of contrast in the raw image and then applying global colour adjustments to the image.

Dust Bunnies

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-16 18:50:10 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

Clipping

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-16 18:50:48 UTC

In digital photography and digital video, clipping is a result of capturing or processing an image where the intensity in a certain area falls outside the minimum and maximum intensity which can be represented. It is an instance of signal clipping in the image domain.

Fill Light

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-16 18:51:10 UTC

A fill light is a style of lighting which is often used in theatre and film as well as in photography. Often used as part of a three point lighting set up, fill lighting is utilised in order to light up the shadowed parts of your setting - this creates less contrast where you do not want it.

Key Light

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-16 18:51:55 UTC

The key light works as the main source of exposure for a cinematographer. Key light photography is critical to properly exposing and highlighting the shapes, dimensions, and forms of a subject and atmosphere that appear on screen

Tethering

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-16 18:52:29 UTC

In photography, tethered shooting is the process of capturing images while your camera is connected to your computer, which allows your photos to instantly upload to the computer. The benefit of tethered shooting is that it allows you to check images on a large screen while you're shooting.

Infrared Photography

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-30 18:45:11 UTC

An infrared camera looks for low-frequency electromagnetic radiation felt as heat and transforms it into an image. It doesn't need light to be able to record images. It only needs heat. Therefore, infrared photography is used whenever your object of interest is not visible, but it emits heat

Composite Photography

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-30 18:46:02 UTC

Composite photography is the use or combination of two or more different images to create a new one. Although it sounds simple, the creation of a new image using the composite method is a process that can take hours — it's something that requires constant practice in order to create believable compositions.

Lifestyle Photography

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-30 18:46:29 UTC

Lifestyle photography is a genre of photography that mainly aims to capture portraits of people in situations, real-life events, or milestones in an artistic manner. The primary goal is to tell stories about people's lives or to inspire people at different times.

Urban Exploration Photography

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-30 18:47:12 UTC

Urbex is a subfield of architecture photography, which takes many different forms. Mostly, it is about exploring the urban habitat and the countless exciting places within it. This usually involves entering abandoned buildings such as old factories, derelict residences or other urban ruins.

Astrophotography

eshllama1212 — 2023-11-30 18:48:01 UTC

The definition of astrophotography is a type of photography that captures a celestial object or events. Essentially, if in space and you capture it with a camera, you're engaging in astrophotography.

Neutral Density Filters

eshllama1212 — 2023-12-07 18:42:57 UTC

Neutral Density (ND) filters reduce the intensity of all wavelengths, or colors, of light equally from entering the camera, in measured amounts. This allows the photographer more control in selecting shutter speed and aperture combinations in a variety of conditions.

CPL Filters

eshllama1212 — 2023-12-07 18:43:25 UTC

They may sound similar to ND filters, but CPLs are different. CPLs don't darken an image like NDs, but rather use polarized glass (invented by Edwin Land / Polaroid) to remove the wavelengths of light that cause reflections. This effect can be only be achieved in-camera and is impossible to recreate later in Photoshop

Chromatic Abberation

eshllama1212 — 2023-12-07 18:43:52 UTC

Chromatic aberration is an effect that occurs when a lens is not able to properly refract all the wavelengths of colour in the same point. It's quite a common problem in photography that affects almost all lenses, though high-quality lenses will present with less chromatic aberration compared to lower-quality ones.

Mirrorless Cameras

eshllama1212 — 2023-12-07 18:44:26 UTC

With no mirror to flip up when you press the shutter, mirrorless cameras can take photos without making a sound. Stealth is a huge advantage in event photography or weddings, where you need to be as unobtrusive as possible.

Watermark

eshllama1212 — 2023-12-07 18:44:56 UTC

A watermark is text or a graphic that is usually placed on a photo to identify who owns the copyright. It can include a logo, business name, person's name, website, email address, or phone number. A watermark does not need to be on a photo for the photo to be protected by copyright law.

None

eshllama1212 — 2024-01-11 18:43:36 UTC

Clamshell Lighting

eshllama1212 — 2024-01-11 18:44:19 UTC

Clamshell lighting gets its name from the way the light sources are placed, with one light above and in front of the subject with a second light or reflector in front of and below the subject. The resulting shape of the setup resembles an open clam but with a gap between the two shell halves.

Badger Lighting

eshllama1212 — 2024-01-11 18:46:01 UTC

Doubleback lighting, which I also found to be called as “badger” lighting is a creative two-light setup that helps to emphasize shadows which adds angles to the face and body

High Key Lighting

eshllama1212 — 2024-01-11 18:46:38 UTC

High key lighting is a lighting style that results in a brightly lit frame with soft lighting, minimal shadows, and low contrast. In photography, film, and television, this lighting style uses minimal shadows with a majority of the frame composed of highlights.

Low Key Lighting

eshllama1212 — 2024-01-11 18:47:13 UTC

Low-key lighting is a style of lighting for film and photography that has an emphasis on shadows. The style is achieved by using hard source lighting within the scene. Unlike high key lighting, low-key lighting looks to increase the contrast of the subject and the environment.

Hard Key Lighting

eshllama1212 — 2024-01-11 18:48:39 UTC

Hard light is a focused, often bright light that casts harsh shadows and draws attention to a specific part of a photo. In hard lighting, the transition between the light and the shadows is very harsh and defined.

Diffraction

eshllama1212 — 2024-01-18 18:44:33 UTC

the process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge, typically accompanied by interference between the wave forms produced.

IPS Monitor

eshllama1212 — 2024-01-18 18:45:23 UTC

IPS monitors or “In-Plane Switching” monitors, leverage liquid crystals aligned in parallel to produce rich colors. IPS panels are defined by the shifting patterns of their liquid crystals.

Anamorphic Lenses

eshllama1212 — 2024-01-18 18:46:02 UTC

Anamorphic lenses allow for a wider field of view on a narrower sensor. That makes them great to use for wide-angle shots, helping you to capture an epic, larger-than-life cinematic look.

ATGNI

eshllama1212 — 2024-01-18 18:47:17 UTC

All The Gear, No Idea. This phrase refers to a person who has all the camera equipment you can think of but has no idea how to use it.

Gradation

eshllama1212 — 2024-01-18 18:47:54 UTC

In the visual arts, gradation is the technique of gradually transitioning from one hue to another, or from one shade to another, or one texture to another. Space, distance, atmosphere, volume, and curved or rounded forms are some of the visual effects created with gradation.

Focus Stacking

eshllama1212 — 2024-01-25 18:44:15 UTC

Focus Stacking (photo layering) is something resembling an HDR image, with its characteristic color vibrancy and detail. Such an effect is created by taking three separate photos with different exposures and then combining them into a single cohesive image with HDR photo software.

The "Snapshot Aesthetic"

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-01 18:45:06 UTC

The snapshot aesthetic refers to the appropriation of re-creation of traits of the snapshot. This developed from the 1960s when it was recognised as a form of 'folk art', that is, a format that was outside the art canon. Its purpose is the recording of meaningful moments and delights in its familial sharing.

The "Sabattier Effect"

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-01 18:45:56 UTC

The Sabatier effect, also known as pseudo-solarization (or pseudo-solarisation) and erroneously referred to as the Sabattier effect, is a phenomenon in photography in which the image recorded on a negative or on a photographic print is wholly or partially reversed in tone.

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-01 18:47:45 UTC

The new technique, which we call Femto Photography, consists of femtosecond laser illumination, picosecond-accurate detectors and mathematical reconstruction techniques. Our light source is a Titanium Sapphire laser that emits pulses at regular intervals every ~13 nanoseconds.

Lomography

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-08 18:46:37 UTC

Lomography is a photographic style which involves taking spontaneous photographs with minimal attention to technical details.

Incident Light Meter Reading

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-08 18:47:50 UTC

The incident light meter measures the light illuminating an object or surface. An incident light meter is often pointed in the direction of the camera--while being positioned near the subject--to average the amount of light falling on the subject.

Reflected Light Meter

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-08 18:47:58 UTC

A reflective meter measures the intensity of light bouncing off the subject you're photographing. Because the meter measures the light after hitting the subject, how reflective the subject is or isn't will affect what the meter “thinks” is the proper exposure setting.

Push Processing [Film]

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-08 18:49:14 UTC

Push processing in photography, sometimes called uprating, refers to a film developing technique that increases the effective sensitivity of the film being processed. Push processing involves developing the film for more time, possibly in combination with a higher temperature, than the manufacturer's recommendations.

Pull Processing (Film)

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-08 18:50:13 UTC

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[Lens]

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-15 18:44:22 UTC

A circular polarizing filter absorbs rays of sunlight, by rotating the ring you control the effect. A Circular Polarizer is used on cameras with beam splitting metering systems commonly found on auto focus SLR's (for most 35mm auto-focus cameras see your camera manual).

Combination Printing

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-15 18:46:06 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. Similar to dual-negative landscape photography, combination printing was technically much more complex.

Contre-Jour

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-15 18:46:50 UTC

Contre-jour produces backlighting of the subject. This effect usually hides details, causes a stronger contrast between light and dark, creates silhouettes and emphasizes lines and shapes. The sun, or other light source, is often seen as either a bright spot or as a strong glare behind the subject.

Duotone[Printing Method]

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-15 18:47:31 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]

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-15 18:48:00 UTC

A French term defined as “spray of ink,” giclee prints create higher quality images than other alternatives, as the process consists of spraying ink onto blank paper or canvas. The ink typically comes from an inkjet printer that evenly blankets the surface, producing clear imagery and fine details.

Barn Doors (studio Light Accessory)

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-22 18:44:44 UTC

Barn doors are light modifiers that shape and direct light. They are flexible to use and can create focused light. They also make a variety of shapes. Barn doors are fixed onto the front of studio or theatre lights. They have four hinged doors around the light source.

Stop Down (Aperture Lingo)

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-22 18:45:24 UTC

In photography, stopping down refers to increasing the numerical f-stop number, which decreases the size of the aperture of a lens, resulting in reducing the amount of light entering the iris of a lens. Reducing the aperture size increases the depth of field of the image

Open Up (Aperture Lingo)

eshllama1212 — 2024-02-22 18:46:27 UTC

This is often referred to as “opening up your aperture.” For example if I need a light to find something in the dark, I am going to get a larger flashlight rather than using a laser pointer. If I need more light in my photo, I will open up to a lower number.

Social Documentary Photography
