Task 3
Framing
Macro
Macro is a type of extreme close up photography where the
subject of whatever is in the picture looks much larger than it would look like
in rea life, for example a picture of an insect would be very detailed and look
gigantic to what it would actually look like in real life
Landscape
Landscape photography is
always horizontal as it fills in as much space as it can. This type of
photography mostly revolves around photos of world nature however there are also
landscape pictures of manmade buildings and structures.
Portrait
Portrait photography is the
opposite of landscape photography as it is always horizontal. This type of
photography usually revolves around people’s faces and their expressions it
tries to show mood in the pictures. Sometimes it may just be one person other
times it may be many. However just because it shows off their expression of
people’s faces it can also show off the background and entire body of the
person.
Distance
Distance in photography can vary between different types
which are close ups and long shots. You
get these different shots by adjusting the lens of the camera to either zoom in
or zoom out. Close ups are specific to one object for example the picture below
is of a tennis ball, you can see the shading on it and the colour, material
stands out. Whereas the long shot photo of the pier looks as if it is far away
and you’re at the start of the pier looking ahead which is why you can’t see as
much detail on the lamps or fences.
Angle
High angle
A high angled shot is a shot that looks down on someone from
above like a bird’s eye view. This angle is usually used when the person which
is being looked down on is supposed to be powerless because the photo is
looking down on them as if you’re looking down them because you’re the one
looking at the picture
Low angle
A Low angled shot is the opposite of what a high angled shot
is being that this time the picture is taken from below not from above. This
time it makes you feel like your small looking up at whatever it is that the
picture is of.
Canted angle
Canted angle is a camera
angle that is deliberately tilted to one side, the reason for this is because
this sort photography is meant to be used to show off certain themes such as
madness, or maybe it might be used in action scenes etc.
Wide angle
A wide angled shot is a
phytography camera shot which is used to show the entire object, human figure
or whatever it is being taken a picture of. This shot also tries to capture the
surroundings of whatever it is the picture is being taken of. This would be to
show off the natural habitats and nature of the picture.
Level
High level
This type of photography is very similar to high angled
photography as it is from above looking down onto something and then taking the
picture to see what it looks like from above in bird’s eye view, to make you
feel big when looking at the picture.
Low level
This type of photography is very similar to low angled
photography as it is from below looking upwards at something and then taking
the picture to see what it looks like from below to make you feel smaller when
looking at the picture.
Composition
Rule of thirds
The rule of thirds is when you have taken a photograph and drawn
over the picture with four lines, two horizontal lines and two vertical lines
crossing over each other creating nine squares. When you have the nine squares
on top of your photo you will see how it is separated out for example a picture
of a tree might just be seen in one square to the left while the sun or sky may
be in its own square to top right. So it separates out the photograph allowing
you to focus on certain parts of the picture.
Foreground
Foreground is used in photography and film
making, in film making it is the part of a scene which is nearest to the front of the viewer and just like films
it goes the same for pictures it is the scene which picture is nearest to and in front of the viewer.
Background
Background used in photography is what you
can see surrounding the main focus of what is in the picture, for example for a
picture of a tree the background would be what is surrounding the tree and
where the tree is located like a woods and in the grass etc.
Focus
Depth of field
The depth of field is how far a certain
distance is between the nearest and the farthest objects which are visible in
the scene or photograph, they appear much more sharp in an image. The lens of a
camera can only focus on one distance at a time and the decrease in the
sharpness is shown on each side of the focused distance. So the sharpness is imperceptible by viewing it under normal circumstances.
As you can see the can of coke in the
middle looks very sharp and focused however because of the reason that the
camera lens can only focus on one distance at a time the other two cans of coke
are out of focus and look blurry and nowhere near as sharp as the one in the
middle.
Sharp
Sharp focus is the sharpness in
photography and how focused the picture is or not, for example if a photo is blurry
and does not look as good as what it does in real life then that means your
picture is not sharp. However if your photo has a lot of detail and looks just
like what it does in real life then that means the sharpness of your photo is
good as you have focused it very well.
Soft
Soft focus is the opposite of sharp focus so
the lens form images that are blurred and the picture does not look as near as
good than what it does in real life. However a soft focus is not the same as an
out focus image there are differences between these both being that the effect
cannot just be achieved by simply defocusing the sharp lens
Zoom
Digital
Digital zoom is a method of increasing the
view so that you can see things in much more detail. For example the picture
below shows a bird on a tree stump. By looking at the first picture you don’t
notice that the bird has something in his mouth, and if you do notice it you
still can’t tell what it is that the bird has in its mouth. So when the digital
zoom is put to action it makes the picture look like its much closer to the
bird and it has much more detail. The bird has an insect in his mouth and you
can see the bird more clearly. So digital zoom helps see pictures more clearly
and it is used on cameras. However with digital zoom the pixels are stretched
as the picture is only focusing on one particular thing in the picture below it
is the bird, this is why the background is bad quality and only the bird can be
seen in good quality because the camera is only focused on the bird and nothing
else. In addition to this you are only able to zoom into the picture once you
have actually taken the photo.
Analogue
Analogue zoom is a process where the
movement of a few lenses inside of the camera results in the magnification of
the image, without compromising or deteriorating the quality of the image.
Analogue zoom simply captures a perspective that is close than the original perspective.
Digital zoom on the other hand is a process where the pixels of a digital image
are stretched out, and the resulting picture is focusing on just one part of
the perspective if the lens.
This is a picture if analogue lens
Optical
On a digital
camera, optical zoom is a true zoom feature.
It allows you to zoom in (or out) on the subject in the LCD or
viewfinder. This will enable you to get a closer view of the subject before
taking your picture. So for example if you are taken a picture of a squirrel
on a tree you would want to be quiet so that you don’t scare it off but you
would also want to get closer so that you can get a better shot of the
squirrel. With the optical zoom you are able to zoom in before you even take
the photo allowing you to stay back from the squirrel but zoom in onto it as if
you was sitting right next to it taking the picture.
