|
Pixels |
a minute area of illumination on a display screen, one of many from which an image is composed |
|
|
Natural Lighting |
Day lighting optimizes natural sunlight entry into a building to minimize the need for artificial lighting |

Rule of Thirds |
The rule of thirds states than an image is most pleasing when its subjects or regions are composed along imaginary lines which divide the image into thirds — both vertically and horizontally |
|
|
Framing |
primarily concerned with the position and perspective of the viewer. The position of the observer has tremendous impact on their perception of the main subject, both in terms of aesthetics and in their interpretation of its meaning |
|
|
Golden Rule |
the Golden Ratio allows for a composition that is perfectly balanced from a viewer’s perspective, creating a photograph that is most pleasing to the human eye (bottom left corner) |
|
|
Focus |
the clear and sharply defined condition of an image |
|
|
Bokeh |
is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an imageproduced by a lens |
|
|
Noise |
the occurrence of color dots or specks where there should be none |
|
|
Points of Power |
where the viewer's eye is drawn to in a photograph |
|
|
Exposure Triangle |
|
|
|
f-stops |
a camera setting corresponding to a particular f-number |

|
|
Rule of Odds |
having an odd number of objects in an image will be more interesting and therefore pleasing |
|
|
Rule of Space |
if the subject is not looking directly to the camera, or looks out of the frame, there should be enough space for the subject to look into |
|
|
Viewpoint |
the angle from which you take a picture, or the distance from which you take it |

on a diagonal
|
|
|
Warm/Cool |
warm-orange, red, pink cool-blue, green, purple |
|
|
ISO |
measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. the lower the number the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain. |
|
|
Clarity |
how clear and in focus a photograph is |
|
|
Camera Settings |
|
|
|
Proximity |
closeness to the object or person being photographed |
|

an optical lens or assembly of lenses used in conjunction with a camera body and mechanism to make images of objects either on photographic film or on other media capable of storing an image chemically or electronically |
|
|
Mode Dial |
used on digital cameras to change the camera's mode |
|
|

A ring on the lens of a camera that can be rotated to allows users to manually focusthe camera |

button pressed to take the picture |
|
|
Memory Cards |
a small, flat flash drive used especially in digital cameras and cell phones that you can save your photographs on |
|
|
Background |
The part of a pictorial representation that appears to be in the distance and that provides relief for the principal objects in the foreground |
|
|
Shutter Speed |
How fast or slow the opening of the lens closes to allow a certain amount of light in when taking a photo |
|
|
White Balance |
a camera setting that adjusts for lighting in order to make white objects appear white in photos |
|
|
Sensor |
an electronic component that detects the presence of visible light, infrared transmission (IR), and/or ultraviolet (UV) energy |
|
|
Depth of Field |
the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image
|
|
|
Viewfinder |
what you look into when taking a photo
|
|
|
Saturation |
increase of the separation between colors |
|
|
Hue |
the degree to which a stimulus can be described as similar to or different from stimuli that are described as red, green, blue, and yellow |
|
|
Composition |
the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art, as distinct from the subject of a work |
|
|
Motion Blur |
the apparent streaking of rapidly moving objects in a still image or a sequence of images such as a movie or animation |
|
|
Time Lapse |
a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than that used to view the sequence |

Panning |
refers to the rotation in a horizontal plane of a still camera or video camera. Panning a camera results in a motion similar to that of someone shaking their head from side to side or of an aircraft performing a yaw rotation |
