GLOSSARY
COMPOSITION
central part in image (the main focus, focal point) or how the visual elements in the image have been arranged
FOCUS
how clear the elements in the image have been displayed e.g blurry/not blurry
GRADIENT
the colour or grey tone fill that changes density across the image, sometimes referred to as a 'graduated fill'
TONE
the shade or quality of a colour e.g light tones (grey), darker tones (black) often to do with the colours being bright or dull or warm or cold
CONTRAST
the distinct, strong variation in two things, often colour (black and white are contrasting colours)
APERTURE
the opening or hole that controls the amount of light that the camera receives
BLURRED
whether the image/part of image is indistinct or hazy (often when the image is out of focus)
DEPTH OF FIELD
the distance between the nearest and furthest objects giving a focussed image
EXPOSED
the amount of light permitted to reach the electronic sensor or film roll (more exposed images are often whiter/brighter than less exposed images)
OVER EXPOSED
the process of the film exposing to much light resulting in a very bright image or in digital photography, where there is no film, the image turns washed out and/or white looking
UNDER EXPOSED
the process of the film or electronic sensor being exposed to, to little light resulting in a dull, often dark image (light deficient)
PANORAMIC
a wide view of an extensive area in all directions surrounding the viewer
GRAIN
an image with rough texture, often with a grainy effect
TEXTURE
the visual quality of a surface
SPACE
the area between the objects
FOREGROUND
the part of the image that is nearest to the viewer
BACKGROUND
the part of the image furthest from the viewer
SHUTTER
the device on camera that controls the duration of photographic exposure
CROPPING
to make an image smaller you 'cropping image' or to take something out of an image you (crop it out of the image)
RESOLUTION
is how detailed the image is, a higher resolution is often when the image is detailed and also has a higher quality of image whereas a low resolution image holds less detail and is often of a lower quality
SATURATION
the intensity of colour the image holds, saturated images usually have overly bright colours
