Camera Obscura

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-08-18 20:48:35 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-08-18 21:01:26 UTC

Twin Camera Lens

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-08-18 21:03:58 UTC

The twin-lens reflex is a comparatively bulky dual camera (Figure 3) with a fixed-mirror reflex housing and top screen mounted above a roll-film box camera. Its two lenses focus in unison so that the top screen shows the image sharpness and framing as recorded on the film in the lower section. The viewing image remains visible all the time, but the viewpoint difference (parallax) of the two lenses means that the framing on the top screen is not exactly identical with that on the film.

Gelatin Silver Process

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-08-18 21:06:14 UTC

The gelatin silver process is the most commonly used chemical process in black-and-white photography, and is the fundamental chemical process for modern analog color photography. As such, films and printing papers available for analog photography rarely rely on any other chemical process to record an image.

Genre

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-08-18 21:08:21 UTC

The main genres of photography are nature, people, and manmade object photography. In this article, we will explore the various photography styles and types that you can get involved in – whether as a photographer or simply an admirer of great photography. 1 The Various Types of Photography. 1.1 Nature Photography

Juxtaposition

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-01 20:46:14 UTC

The juxtaposition of two contrasting objects, images, or ideas is the fact that they are placed together or described together, so that the differences between them are emphasized.

Abstract

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-01 20:48:25 UTC

Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect

Line

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-08 20:25:51 UTC

An element of art defined by a point moving in space. Line
may be two-or three-dimensional, descriptive, implied, or
abstract

Shape

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-08 20:27:25 UTC

Space

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-08 20:28:19 UTC

Texture

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-08 20:29:02 UTC

Value

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-08 20:29:47 UTC

e The lightness or darkness of tones or colors. White is the
lightest value; black is the darkest. The value halfway
between these extremes is called middle gray.

Form

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-08 20:30:44 UTC

An element of art that is three-dimensional and encloses
volume; includes height, width AND depth (as in a cube, a
sphere, a pyramid, or a cylinder). Form may also be free
flowing.

Balance

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-15 20:42:33 UTC

e 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-15 20:43:58 UTC

Pattern

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-15 20:45:02 UTC

Proportion

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-15 20:45:50 UTC

n is the feeling of unity created when all parts (sizes, amounts, or number)
relate well with each other. When drawing the human figure, proportion can refer
to the size of the head compared to the rest of the body.

Movement

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-15 20:46:39 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-15 20:47:19 UTC

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

Emphasis

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-15 20:47:46 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-20 20:26:07 UTC

Cool colors are typified by blue, green, and light purple. They can calm and soothe. Where warm colors remind you of heat and sunshine, cool colors remind you of water and sky, even ice and snow

Warm colors

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-20 20:27:08 UTC

The phrase warm color is used to describe any color that is vivid or bold in nature. Warm colors are those that tend to advance in space and can be overwhelming. Examples of warm colors include red, yellow and orange (think exciting fire and volcanoes).

Neutral colors

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-20 20:27:34 UTC

Neutral colors are muted shades that appear to lack color but often have underlying hues that change with different lighting. Examples of neutral colors include beige, taupe, gray, cream, brown, black, and white. While neutral colors are not on the color wheel, they complement primary and secondary colors.

Complementary Colors

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-20 20:28:39 UTC

Monochromatic Colors

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-20 20:29:24 UTC

Monochromatic (or mono) is a color scheme based on only one, single color tint. It uses only variations (shades) of a single hue, made by altering the saturation and brightness of the base color. Black and white colors are always added, as they in fact are the brightest, resp. the darkest shade of the color.

Gradient

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-20 20:30:29 UTC

What is a Gradient? A gradient is a design element made up of colors that gradually fade into one another. Also known as “color progressions” or “color ramps,” gradients either consist of many shades of the same color, or multiple colors that blend from one to the other.

Constructive criticism

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-26 20:37:49 UTC

What Is Constructive Criticism? Constructive criticism is a type of feedback that offers specific and actionable advice to help employees to improve. It should be clear and direct and include the practical steps an employee can take moving forward.

Plagiarism

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-26 20:38:22 UTC

Ethical

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-26 20:39:16 UTC

Objective

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-26 20:40:46 UTC

Subjective

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-26 20:41:13 UTC

CopyRight

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-26 20:41:54 UTC

the exclusive legal right, given to an originator or an assignee to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or musical material, and to authorize others to do the same.

tradeMark

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-09-26 20:42:39 UTC

a symbol, word, or words legally registered or established by use as representing a company or product.

Rule of Thirds

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-04 20:24:40 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-04 20:25:10 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-04 20:25:52 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. That divine ratio is 1.618:1. The first recorded definition of the golden ratio came from Euclid in the 3rd Century BC.

Negative Space

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-04 20:26:20 UTC

Negative space photography is related to minimalist photography. It emphasizes not just the subject but also the empty space around the subject. So, although the viewer's eyes may focuson a central figure, they can't help but notice the large section of emptiness that surrounds anddefines that figure.

Positive Space

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-04 20:26:50 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. Too little negative space results in cluttered and busy photographs with every element in the photo screaming for the viewer's attention.

Backlight

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-13 20:49:38 UTC

Diffused Light

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-13 20:50:58 UTC

Diffused light is a soft light with neither the intensity nor the glare of direct light. It is scattered and comes from all directions. Thus, it seems to wrap around objects. It is softer and does not cast harsh shadows.

Ambient Light

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-13 20:51:46 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-13 20:53:16 UTC

an effect of contrasted light and shadow created by light falling unevenly or from a particular direction on something.

Silhouette

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-13 20:53:54 UTC

the dark shape and outline of someone or something visible against a lighter background, especially in dim light.

ISO

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-25 20:24:40 UTC

sensitivity to light

ISO Sensitivity is a standard set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that represents sensitivity to light as a numerical value. A higher number indicates a higher sensitivity and a greater ability to capture light. The ISO Sensitivity is set and changed in the shooting settings menu.

ASA

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-25 20:25:52 UTC

American Standards Association

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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-25 20:26:24 UTC

In a digital camera, the image sensor is the device that collects incoming light when the shutter opens and converts that light into an electrical signal. The camera then analyzes that signal and translates the data into colors, that match the real-life image in the camera's viewfinder

Film Grain

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-25 20:27:13 UTC

Film grain or film granularity is the random optical texture of processed photographic film due to the presence of small particles of a metallic silver, or dye clouds, developed from silver halide that have received enough photons.

Digital Noise

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-25 20:27:47 UTC

In digital photographs, the term noise refers to a certain type of visual distortion. It looks similar to grain found in film photography, but can also look like splotches of discoloration when it's really bad, and can ruin a photograph.

Pincushion Lens Distortion

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-25 20:28:20 UTC

In pincushion distortion, image magnification increases with the distance from the optical axis. The visible effect is that lines that do not go through the centre of the image are bowed inwards, towards the centre of the image, like a pincushion. Convex (plus) spherical lenses tend to have pincushion distortion.

Barrel Lens Distortion

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-25 20:28:31 UTC

Barrel lens distortion is an effect associated with wide-angle lenses and, in particular, zoom wide-angles. This effect causes the image to spherize, which means that the edges of the photo look curved and bowed to the human eye. It almost appears as though the photo image has been wrapped around a curved surface.

Orthographic View

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-25 20:28:47 UTC

The orthographic view definition is a projection of one side of the figure onto its perpendicular plane. An orthographic projection consists of three views: the front view, the top view, and a side view.

Triptych

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-25 20:29:05 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.

Diptych

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-10-25 20:29:23 UTC

Diptychs are a set of two photos you can use to tell a story and emphasise contrast. Or you can create one composition using two entirely different images. The word itself comes from ancient Greek. Think of diptychs as collages.

Aperture

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-01 20:25:43 UTC

What is aperture in photography? 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-01 20:27:39 UTC

An f-stop is expressed as a fraction, with “f” as the numerator and the f-stop number as the denominator. The aperture size reads inversely to its corresponding f-number: The smaller the f-number, the larger the aperture. The larger the f-number, the smaller the aperture.

Lens Focal Length

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-01 20:28:20 UTC

The focal length of a lens is determined when the lens is focused at infinity. 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.

Auto Mode

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-08 21:25:30 UTC

Automatic modes. In automatic modes the camera determines all aspects of exposure, choosing exposure parameters according to the application within the constraints of correct exposure, including exposure, aperture, focusing, light metering, white balance, and equivalent sensitivity.

Program Mode

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-08 21:26:04 UTC

Program mode (the "P" on the mode dial of most DSLRs) means that the camera still sets the exposure for you. It chooses the correct aperture and shutter speed for the light available, so your shot is correctly exposed. Program mode also unlocks other functions that give you more creative control over your images.

Manual mode

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-08 21:26:28 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.

Shutter Priority Mode

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-08 21:27:18 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. See TV Mode and shutter speed.

Aperture Priority Mode

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-08 21:27:59 UTC

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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-15 21:25:04 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-15 21:26:07 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-15 21:26:47 UTC

Motion blur is the visual streaking or smearing captured on camera as a result of movement of the camera, the subject, or a combination of the two. The human eye naturally registers motion blur in real life, so a subtle blur in film often mimics reality better than if it were absent.

Tripods/Monopods

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-15 21:27:24 UTC

A tripod has three legs (that's the “tri”). A monopod is a camera support with one leg (the “mono”). Much of the rest of the design is similar across both accessories. Both are height adjustable, for example. And both often use quick-release plates for easily adding and removing your camera.

Camera Shake

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-15 21:28:13 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-29 21:22:46 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-29 21:23:27 UTC

Time-lapse photography is used to capture change or movement that occurs over a long period time. In order to capture how a plant grows or a glacier moves, a photographer sets up a camera in a fixed location and takes a single picture at regular time intervals.

Light Painting

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-29 21:24:08 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-29 21:24:45 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-11-29 21:25:25 UTC

Burst mode is a camera function that allows you to capture a series of photographs in quick succession. With burst mode activated, you can hold down the shutter button, and your camera will rattle off a set of photos. Burst mode is great for capturing fast-moving subjects!

Spot Metering

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-12-06 21:25:03 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-12-06 21:25:51 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-12-06 21:26:38 UTC

term: Description: Center weighted metering is a camera metering mode. Center weighted metering places the highest importance in determining a correct exposure on information contained in the center of the frame.

Evaluative Metering

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-12-06 21:27:28 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2023-12-06 21:28:04 UTC

If you dive down the rabbit hole of exposure or metering, you won't get too far before you come across the term “middle gray.” It may also be referred to as “neutral gray,” “18% gray”, or “Zone V.” Most simply defined, middle gray is the very center tone between absolute back and absolute white.

Shadows

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-10 21:24:46 UTC

If you want to learn how to master the use of light in your photographs, look to the shadows. Shadows are the dark areas where a light source is blocked by an object. Shadows change shape, intensity, and even color along with the angle, direction, and temperature of light.

Midtones

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-10 21:25:32 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. In photography, understanding light and its different aspects is fundamental.

Highlights

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-10 21:26:22 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.

Vignette

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-10 21:27:03 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-10 21:27:44 UTC

Sepia toning is a chemical process used in photography which changes the appearance of black-and-white prints to brown. The color is now often associated with antique photographs. Most photo graphics software programs and many digital cameras include a sepia tone filter to mimic the appearance of sepia-toned prints.

AF POINTS

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-17 21:26:49 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

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-17 21:27:35 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 Indicator

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-17 21:29:09 UTC

It can be either a scale or a histogram. A scale is a horizontal line with a marker that moves left or right depending on your settings. The center of the scale indicates the optimal exposure, while the ends indicate overexposure or underexposure.

Exposure Compensation

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-17 21:29:54 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 Balence card

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-17 21:30:32 UTC

A white balance card is an important tool for photographers to have in their arsenal. It can be used to help achieve accurate colors in photos, regardless of the lighting conditions.

Workspace Switcher

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-24 21:26:19 UTC

Workspace Switcher displays a visual representation of your workspaces, as shown in Figure 4–3. Figure 4–3 shows the Workspace Switcher when the Java Desktop System session contains four workspaces. Your workspaces appear as buttons on the panel application.

Toolbar

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-24 21:26:28 UTC

The toolbar is where Photoshop holds the many tools we have to work with. There are tools for making selections, for cropping and retouching images, for adding shapes and type, and many more!

Palettes

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-24 21:26:48 UTC

Introduction to Palettes. Palettes [shown right] are groups of tools used to edit and manipulate your image. Photoshop contains over two dozen palettes that can be shown or hidden by using the Window menu and selecting the palette you wish to reveal.

Menu Bar

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-24 21:26:59 UTC

Menu Bar. This is where you'll access different commands to use in Photoshop. For example, from the File menu, you can open and save files. The Image menu allows you to make various adjustments like image size, while the Filter menu gives you access to more advanced tools and effects.

Tool Options

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-24 21:27:34 UTC

The Tool Options bar appears at the bottom in the Photoshop Elements window. It displays the options for a selected tool. For example, if you select the Crop tool from the toolbox, you find related tools (Cookie Cutter tool and Perspective Crop tool), and other options in the Tool Options bar.

Cropping

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-31 21:24:07 UTC

To “crop” an image is to remove or adjust the outside edges of an image (typically a photo) to improve framing or composition, draw a viewer's eye to the subject, or change the size or aspect ratio. In other words, photo cropping is the act of improving an image by removing unnecessary parts.

Aspect ratio

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-31 21:24:41 UTC

Resolution

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-31 21:25:32 UTC

In digital photography, resolution is the level of detail contained in an image. More specifically, it refers to the number of pixels that exist within that image. The higher the resolution, and the richer the pixel count, the more detail and definition you will see.

DPI vs PPI

tristanmorales1110 — 2024-01-31 21:26:30 UTC
