|
Spotting
|
To remove small imperfections in a print caused by dust, specks, small scratches, or the like. Specifically, to paint a dye over small white blemishes.
|
|
|
Dodging
|
To lighten an area of print by shading it during part of the printing exposure.
|
|
|
Burning-In
|
To darken a specific area of a print by giving it additional printing exposure.
|
|
|
Frozen Motion
|
-not moving the camera
-use the fastest shutter speed (widest aperture) |
|
|
Depth of Field
|
-depth of focus, range of acceptable sharpness. Extends 1/3 in front and 2/3 behind plane of citical focus.
-Affected by Aperture, focal length, and Lens to subject distance |
|
|
Framing
|
technique to bring viewer's eye to the main subject by placing objects in the foreground that show depth.
|
|
|
Bracketing
|
A technique to get correctly exposed film, making at least 3 diff. exposures, changing the stop +/- the one you think is the "correct".
-manual mode |
|
|
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. |
|
|
Polarizing filter
|
A filter placed in front of the camera lens to reduce reflections from nonmetallic surfaces like glass/water
|
|
|
rule of thirds
|
placing the subject in one of the 3 quadrants
|
|
|
symmetrical balance
|
both sides of an image seem to project from an imaginary centerline, creating a stable and static effect.
|
|
|
Asymmetrical balance
|
balance is maintained, even w/a non-symmetrical image, often balancing a small, important spot w/a larger, less-important area
|
|
|
push processing
|
To expose film at a higher film speed rating than normal, then to compensate in part for the resulting underexposure by giving greater development than normal. This permits shooting at a dimmer light level, a faster shutter speed, or a smaller aperture than would otherwise be possible
|
|
|
Focal length
|
The distance from an internal part of a lens(the rear nodal plane) to the film plane when the lens is focused on infinity. (mm) determines angle of view and the size of objects in the image.
|
|
|
18% gray test card
|
A card that reflects a known percentage of light falling on it. Used to take accurate exposure meter readings based on a gray tone of 18 % reflectance
|
|
|
Panchromatic film
|
Film that is sensitive to all the wavelengths of the visible spectrum.
|
|
|
F/stop
|
A numerical designation indicating the size of the aperture (lens opening). ex f/2
|
