- wide depth of field: is the term used to describe what is inside the focused area of your image and what is left outside of the focused area and will stay home alone, and eat dry bread and drink stale water.
- shallow depth of field: simply means that one specific area of your photo is tack sharp while other elements remain blurred.
- selective focus: is used to draw a viewer’s attention to one specific area of an image. It is accomplished by using a shallow in photography are simply any item used to reflect light towards your subject. Reflectors can be used with a flash or in lieu of a flash. depth of field. It’s ideal for pointing out one specific element in a scene while blurring everything else to minimize distractions.
- hard shadow / hard light:Hard light sources cast shadows whose appearance of the shadow depends on the lighting instrument. For example, fresnel lights can be focused such that their shadows can be "cut" with crisp shadows. That is, the shadows produced will have 'harder' edges with less transition between illumination and shadow. The focused light will produce harder-edged shadows. Focusing a fresnel makes the rays of emitted light more parallel. The parallelism of these rays determines the quality of the shadows. For shadows with no transitional edge/gradient, a point light source is required.
- soft shadow / soft light: Soft light refers to light that tends to "wrap" around objects, casting diffuse shadows with soft edges. Soft light is when a light source is large relative to the subject, hard light is when the light source is small relative to the subject.
- filling the frame: make the subject the only thing you see in the picture.
- available light:refers to any source of light that is not explicitly supplied by the photographer for the purpose of taking photos. The term usually refers to sources of light that are already available naturally or artificial light already being used. It generally excludes flashes, although arguably flash lighting provided by other photographers shooting simultaneously in the same space could be considered available light. Light sources that affect the scene and are included in the actual frame are called practical light sources, or simply practicals.
- artificial light:The types of artificial lighting you use in photography give you complete control over the direction, quality, and strength of the light. You can move these light sources around, diffuse them, or reflect them
- reflector:in photography are simply any item used to reflect light towards your subject. Reflectors can be used with a flash or in lieu of a flash.
- framing:In visual arts including cinematography, framing is a technique used to focus the viewer's attention upon the subject.Framing can make an image more aesthetically pleasing and keep the viewer's focus on the framed object(s). It can also be used as a repoussoir, to direct attention back into the scene. It can add depth to an image, and can add interest to the picture when the frame is thematically related to the object being framed.
