1
entire image sharply in focus, crystal clear
2
has no specific direction from which it originates and strikes the scene evenly. It is soft and gentle. Studio photographers use diffused lighting to minimize shadows.
3
One part of image is sharp, others are blurry. Little distance between nearest and farthest sharp areas.
4
strikes the scene from a specific direction, creates bright highlights and deep shadows. This lighting is also be dramatic, harsh, and powerful to the scene.
5
Very dark and very light tones, few of any gray tones
6
Placing the subject (focus) at one of the intersections of an imaginary tic-tac-toe grid. Let the horizon be on the top or bottom third of the rectangle rather than in the middle of the picture. Place subject off center, give people or objects a definite direction, leave space in front of moving objects or people, change your point of view
7
Looking up at something from very close to the ground (a worm on the ground).
8
You are looking down at the subject from above (a bird in the sky)
9
Mostly gray tones, no black or white
10
shows depth
11
- created by a feeling of equal visual weight on either side of an imaginary line dividing the image in half. Creates a “mirror” image effect.
12
It is achieved by repeating something, like any of the elements of art. it creates a pattern. Or even random shapes if they are similar in size will become an irregular pattern, such as the skin of a leopard or giraffe.
13
Change position or move in close. Avoid shooting all photos at eye level. A bird’s eye or worm’s eye view may eliminate unnecessary detail and make even the ordinary subject look more interesting.
14
One should always be aware of the contrast - lights and darks that emphasize the subject
15
Refers to the distribution of visual weight in a photograph, arranges elements in a photograph to create a sense of stability.
16
The quality of the surface of an artwork, it can actual or visual. In photography it’s visual; you can see the rough bark or soft fluffy surface, but you can’t actually touch it. It just appeals to your sense of touch.
17
Good photos should have some type of focal point such as a tree, rock, or person, even when they are basically landscapes. Sometimes shooting low and having foreground in the picture will add that needed impact.
18
Objects surround the focus of the photograph to emphasize the center of interest (NOT around the outside) – such as trees, a branch, a doorway, an arm, hair around a face, etc. Also objects in the foreground create a stronger feeling of depth.
19
Subject is sharp even though it was moving, fast shutter speed.
