PHOTOGRAPHY WRDS & TRMS

I am drawn to this by the amount of light that was used and what kind of light was used

AESTHETICS- THE QUALITIES THAT COMBINE TO MAKE SOMETHING LOOK THE WAY IT DOES











CAMERA OBSCURA- A BLACKED-OUT CHAMBER WITH A SMALL HOLE THROUGH WHICH LIGHT GETS COMPRESSED. FIRST WRITTEN OBSERVATION WAS BY MO TI IN CHINA, CIRCA 400 BC/BCE









EXPOSURE- THE LENGTH OF TIME LIGHT ENTERS THE CAMERA
OVER EXPOSURE- TOO MUCH LIGHT
UNDEREXPOSURE- NOT ENOUGH LIGHT



FOCAL POINT- THE CENTER OF INTEREST/ACTIVITY



EXPOSURE TRIANGLE-

APERTURE- OPENING INTO THE CAMERA



SHUTTER- MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS LIGHT TO ENTER THE CAMERA FOR PRECISE PERIODS OF TIMES




ISO- THE SENSITIVITY(TO LIGHT) OF THE SENSOR/FILM





APERTURE:
APERTURE & DEPTH OF FIELD
APERTURE IS THE SIZE OF THE OPENING INTO CAMERA, AND THE LARGER THE APERTURE THE SMALLER THE SLIVER OF FOCUS YOU HAVE


EXAMPLES OF A CHANGE IN APERTURE

ISO:

THE SENSITIVITY OF A CAMERA

WHITE BALANCE (WB)
