Technical and aesthetic qualities
within photography

 

1.    Choose 2
images and explain the following.

 

 

 

• Rule of
  Thirds
  Definition for rule of thirds
  The rule of thirds is a "rule of thumb" or guideline which
  applies to the process of composing visual images such as designs, films,
  paintings, and photographs .The
  horizon sits at the horizontal line dividing the lower third of the photo
  from the upper two-thirds.

• Horizon Line
  
  
  
  
   
  There's something about a horizontal line in an image that conveys a message of 'stability' or even
  'rest'  Horizons are the most common horizontal line to be found in photographs
  and they often act as a dividing point in a photograph – in effect an anchor that the rest of the image is
  formed around.
   
   
   

• Framing
   
   
  The role of any rule of
  composition is to draw the eye into a photograph.
  Framing refers to using elements
  of a scene to create a frame within your frame. For example, you might shoot
  through a doorway, pulled back curtains, branches, fences, tunnels, or arches
  to highlight your subject
   
• Composition
  
   
   
   
   
  In the visual arts, composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or
  'ingredients' in a work of art, as distinct from the subject. The term composition means 'putting together'
  and can apply to any work of art, from music to writing to photography that is arranged using
  conscious thought.
  
  
  
  
   

• Depth of
  field/shallow depth of field.
  In optics, particularly as it relates to film and photography,
  the optical phenomenon known as depth of field, is the distance about the plane
  of focus where objects appear acceptably sharp in an image
   
   
  2.
  Explain what F-stops/Aperture and Shutter Speeds with visual references.
  Aperture
  is basically a hole in your camera’s lens that lets light pass through. It’s
  not a particularly complicated topic, but it helps to have a good mental
  concept of aperture blades in
  the first place
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  Shutter speeds - in most
  cases you'll probably be using shutter speeds of 1/60th of a second or
  faster. This is because anything slower than this is very difficult to use
  without getting camera shake. Camera shake is when your camera is moving while
  the shutter is open and results in blur in your photos.
