|
|
Daguerrotype
|
the first large scale commercial photographic process; it was developed by Louis Dagueere together with Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. Niépce had produced the first photographic image in the camera obscura using asphaltum on a copper plate sensitized with lavender oil that required very long exposures.

Contrast
|
|
Exposure
|
a. the act of presenting a photosensitive surface to rays of light.
b. the total amount of light received by a photosensitive surface or an area of such a surface, expressed as the product of the degree of illumination and the period of illumination.
c. the image resulting from the effects of light rays on a photosensitive surface.

number of pixels that compose a digital photograph

Drop-In-Loading
|
Film cassette loading feature in all Advanced Photo System cameras that virtually eliminates film-loading problems by automatically accepting the leaderless cassette and thrusting the film forward to the first unexposed frame without any user intervention.

representation of an image in which the tons are reversed: blacks as white, and vice versa.

|
|
LIFE
|
first photo essay was in this magazine
|
|
4 steps to critique:
|
describe, interpret, evaluate, theorize
|
|
flash
|
a brief, sudden burst of bright light:
|
|
f/2.8
|
of f/2.8 and f/8, whichever opening is larger
|
|
DX Data Exchange
|
Electrical coding system employed in 35 mm format film that communicates film speed, type and exposure length to the camera.
|
|
Contact Print
|
prints made by placing negative and print paper in contact and making the exposure
|
|
Zone focusing
|
-Focusing for the greatest depth of field to infinity
-Presettingn the focus to photograph action so that the entire area in which the actoin may take place will be sharp.
|
|
What is negative space?
|
The space around your subject.
|
|
Device that captures an image of a piece of artwork and converts it to a digitized image or bitmap that the comp can handle
|
scanner
|
|
Overall Average Metering
|
Calculates an exposure for 18% “middle gray”
|
|
Iris
|
Part of eye that adjust to control amount of light that enters
determined to the aperature of a camera lens
|
|
How many camcorders are in North America?
|
14 million
|
|
High-Key Print
|
A print with mostly light values and tones
|
|
Aperture Priority
|
An exposure mode on an automatic or autofocus camera that lets you set the aperture while the camera sets the shutter speed for proper exposure. If you change the aperture, or the light level changes, the shutter speed changes automatically.
|
|
distance range in a photograph in which all included portions of an image are at least acceptably sharp
|
Depth of field
|
|
"specular highlights"
|
tiny blown-out areas in a photograph - like on an earring
|
|
Bracket Exposure
|
Makaking one or more exposures of both sides of the exposure (ensures success)
|
|
What are compositional methods?
|
rule of thirds, framing, contrast (texture, tone, color, line, and shape), leading lines, angle of view
|
|
symmetrical balance
|
both sides of an image seem to project from an imaginary centerline, creating a stable and static effect.
|
|
define focal length:
|
the distance from the film in the camera to the lens when the camera is focused at infinity.
The focal length of the lens on most adjustable cameras is marked in millimeters on the lens mount. By adjusting the focal length on your camera, you affect the zoom. The larger the focal length, the higher the amount of zoom.
|
|
What is framing useful for?
|
showing a relationship between the frame object/s and the subject within
|
|
Charge Coupled Device
|
one of the two main types of image sensors used in digital camerae
|
|
5 types of color schemes
|
monochramtic (all within the same hue or family), analogous color (3 colors or 3 hughes next to each other on the color wheel), Complimentary (opposite on teh color wheel), Warm vs cool (warm, red, orange, yellow, cool blue, green, purple),
|
|
describe vertical lines vs. horizontal lines
|
back and forth along sweeping horizontal lines is restful. Up and down a busy jagged vertical composition provides a feeling of energy
|
|
Changing the aperture changes
|
the amount of light let in through the lens, changes are called f-stops
For each increase in stop, the light halves
As the f-stop increases, the light let in decreases
The depth of field increases as f-stops increase
|
|
We refer to the maximum aperture of the lens as ,,,
|
the speed of the lens.
|
|
What kind of light can a reflector fill be used with?
|
a harsh or soft light
|
|
what is another issue?
|
will hardware be able to read the disc in a few years?
|
|
Focal lengths are usually specifed in what unit of measure?
|
Focal lengths are usually specifed in millimetres (mm)
|
|
What is the reason for bouncing?
|
to increase the size of the light source, thus making the light less harsh and ensuring the light will reach the most area.
|
|
What is used to measure color temp?
|
a device called a color temperature meter
|
|
Find sensor spots and smudges in Lightroom3 by......
|
moving Black slider back and forth to find the sweet spot that shows the smudges .... this sweet spot changes on a gradient, like a sky.
|
|
Why should positive space have more mass than negative space? What is the term for this?
|
because it carries the main point of visual information...it has more visual value
|
|
If you want to add coolness to a scene, what should be changed in a setting?
|
change WB setting to incandescent while shooting under daylight conditions. The camera things you're shooting indoors with reddish light, so it adds more blue to compensate.
|
|
When shooting close-up,
1. back up to _______ depth of field;
2. move in closer to ______ depth of field
|
1. back up to INCREASE depth of field
2. move in closer to DECREASE depth of field
|
|
what do the automatic controls on a flash unit allow you to do?
|
set the amount of light required, as long as you are working within the maximum allowable distance (GN formula).
|
|
what are the many display options with digital image making?
|
make prints (B&W or color), create web gallery, produce slide show, make photo book.
|
|
What are advantages of using a tripod in landscape photography?
|
you have all the time and peace to check and optimize the effect of the landscape through the viewfinder
|
|
How would we set the camera up under normal daylight conditions?
|
if we set the camera to a shade white balance while shooting in the daylight, we trick the camera into adding more photographic warmth into the scene.
