PHOTOGRAPHY WRDS & TRMS
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
EXPOSURE - the length of time light enters the camera
OVER EXPOSURE - too much light
UNDER EXPOSURE - not enough light
FOCAL POINT - the center of interest/activity
EXPOSURE TRIANGLE:
APERTURE: Opening in the camera
Shutter: Mechanism that allows light to enter the camera for precise periods of time
ISO- The sensitivity of the sensors/film
APERTURE & AND DEPTH OF FIELD
Aperture is the size of the opening into camera, and the larger the aperture (opening) the smaller sliver of focus you will have.
HISTORY & ARTISTS:
JOSEPH NICEPHORE NIEPCE
Made the worlds first photograph in 1827.
The exposure time was approx. EIGHT hours.
ISO: The sensitivity of the camera.
