Dynamic lines can be used to monitor the distribution of the visual weight of elements in busy settings. Dynamic lines are a characteristic of an urban setting and they interact with the static lines. People are generally the most interesting of the dynamic lines and, naturally interact against ...
Subject placement refers to the position of the subject relative to the frame. Placing the subject in the center is one method of subject placement but some will argue that when you place your subject in the center of your frame, you divide your image in half. You break up the background and ...
Having a deep depth of field is to have a large amount of the image in focus. When the aperture is small (ex. f/16), the image has a deep or large depth of field. This means that the focus range covers a large area front-to-back, from several yards in front of the focus plane to nearly infinity ...
Shallow depth of field means to have a small amount of the image in focus. When we talk about the main characteristics of depth of field, we usually classify it into two categories, shallow depth of field and deep depth of field. When the aperture is large (ex. f/1.8), the area in front and ...
Photographic lighting is the illumination of scenes to be photographed. A photograph simply records patterns of light, colour, and shade; lighting is all-important in controlling the image. In many cases even illumination is desired to give an accurate rendition of the scene. Hardness or ...
The distance between the closest and furthest points in an image that are in ‘acceptable focus’. In every picture there is a certain area of your image in front of, and behind the subject that will appear in focus. This zone will vary from photo to photo. Some images may have very small ...
Three-point perspective is a linear perspective in which parallel lines along the width of an object meet at two separate points on the horizon and vertical lines on the object meet at a point on the perpendicular bisector of the horizon line. It can be used in photography, but it is also often ...
A two-point perspective si a linear perspective in which parallel lines along the width and depth of an object are represented as meeting at two separate points on the horizon that are 90 degrees apart as measured from the common intersection of the lines of projection. With two point ...
