Photography Terms

• Depth of Field The amount of distance between
  the nearest and farthest object that appear in
  acceptably sharp focus in a photograph.
• Limited/Shallow Depth of Field Closer up objects
  are in focus while the distracting background is
  out of focus. This is to draw the attention to
  the foreground. The smaller the aperture the more
  limited depth of field.
• Large/Maximum Depth of Field All objects are in
  focus, from background to foreground. This is so
  the attention is on the photograph as a whole
  instead of one object. With a larger aperture
  there is maximum depth of field.

Photography Terms

• Aperture The opening in a camera lens which
  light passes to expose the film.
• Shutter speed the length of time that is allowed
  for light to pass through the lens and expose to
  film.

Camera Modes
There are over five modes on the basic camera

• Some of these modes are
• Auto
• Macro
• Landscape
• Portrait
• Action

5
Auto

• Auto is the most commonly used mode when ever you
  do not want to put forth much effort into your
  photograph, or because you are not knowledgeable
  of the other camera modes.
• Most photographers do not use this mode because
  it does not give them the freedom to do what they
  would like.

6
Macro

• Macro mode is for close-up photography. When
  taking pictures of close up objects in a regular
  setting the picture will come out blurry. But
  with macro mode it allows for pictures of close
  objects to be taken and you still have a nice
  sharp picture.
• It is usually used when photographing small
  objects to get a crisp look such as flowers or
  insects.

7
Landscape

• Landscape mode is used to make sure all of the
  photographed scenes are focused.
• It is usually used for wide scenes such as
  mountains or trees.

8
Portraits

• Portrait mode is good for photographing people
  because the camera sets a limited depth of field
  that allows the person to be the focal point of
  the photograph.
• It is usually used when photographing a single
  subject such as a person.

9
Action

• Action mode is used when photographing moving
  objects. This means that the camera will use the
  highest shutter speed possible.
• Action mode is most frequently used when
  photographing sports, cars, or wildlife.

10
Styles of Photography

• Silhouette
• Texture
• Lines and shape
• Space
• Color

11
Silhouette
A shape of an object outlined from the light
behind causing the object to look like a shadow
with no substance only a general shape.
12
Texture
Texture helps to emphasize the features and
details in a photographs. Having texture in a
photograph allows you to feel as though you are
part of the object and not merely looking at it
on a piece of paper.
13
Shape Lines
A photograph that portrays the idea of shapes
well has many different geometric shapes hidden
within the image. The shapes may be literal or
figurative.
A photograph that expresses line well, usually
has many objects that look like lines throughout
the picture.
14
Space

• A photograph that allows you to feel as though
  the space is around you.

15
Color
A photograph which shows an abundant amount of
bright color
