Camera Body:
- Standard Lens: A lens with a focal length of 50mm is considered normal; they work without reducing or magnifying the images; reflect the way we see with the naked eye (Angle of 46 degrees).
Prime Lens: Fixed focal length which does not change (Higher quality).- Zoom Lens: Allows the user to alter the focal length (More versatile).
- Telephoto Lens: A lens with a larger focal length than a standard; provides a narrow field of view with a magnified image.
Photographic Styles/ Skills:
- Sequencing: A serial arrangement in which things follow a logical order or a recurrent pattern. Stitching multiple images together. A form of time-lapse photography. Subjects moving across a static background.
Other Terms:
- Wide Angle: A lens with a short focal length than standard and this provides a wide field of view.
- Macro: Photograph of an item which then appears larger than life size within the photograph.
- Close Up: The tight framing around an object within a photograph.
- Field of View (FOV): What can be seen. (Determined by angle of view from the lens to the scene (Horizontally and or vertically).
- Focal Length: The distance between the centre of a lens and its subject.
Analysis:
- Connotation: The implied message.
- Denotation: The explicit message.
- Studium: (Roland Barthes) The broad sense of the image: aesthetics, lighting, pose, attractiveness.
- Punctum: (Roland Barthes) The notion of the image: detail variant from the norm, the one thing that makes the photo.
OK please augment this with visual examples in support if the definition i.e. one at 50mm 18mm and 200mm for focal length with an annotation of the effects or applications (portraiture, wildlife, landscape).
ReplyDeletedo likewise with the sequencing and macro definitions, etc.
