ISO- Is the sensitivity of the cameras sensor. Higher the number, the more sensitive it is to light. Keep ISO as low as possible to avoid grain and noise.
Aperture- Smaller or larger hole size of the camera lens. Smaller the number- the bigger the hole is for more light- higher the number- smaller, and less light. This mainly controls depth of feel to the picture. Shutter Speed- is the amount of time (measured in seconds that is) that your shutter is open. Motion Blur- shutter speed locks moving things into one place. Rule of Thirds- or "rule of thumb", divides the picture into nine parts, with points of interest at each intersection of the lines. Leading Lines- diagonal, horizontal, or vertical lines leading the eyes to where the photographer wants them. Diagonals- simply tilted or slanted lines in photography. Usually conveying depth as well as perspective. Framing- natural frames like windows or doors, squares create symmetry. Contrast- means finding the difference between the subject and the background. Fill Frame- means filling the picture with what you're capturing. Getting close to objects. Dominant Eye- Placing the dominant eye when taking a portrait picture. Patterns- Best when the pattern is uninterrupted. Regularity within a scene. |
