1 Photo Analysis Jenna McNeill

2 Depth of Field Range of acceptable sharpness on either side of the line of focus aperture  = DOF  camera/Subject Distance  = DOF  Shallow Depth of Field objects in front or behind unfocused or blurry directs viewer’s attention to sharp subject Microsoft Clipart Jenna McNeill

3 Depth of Field Wide Depth of Field foreground, middle ground, background in focus viewer can choose what part of frame to look at www.earthwatersky.com/Sierra/images

4 Shutter Speed Length of time light passes through lens Slow Shutter Speed movement seen as blurred image shutter open for a long time www.mikedaddy.com/photoblog/archives Because the movement in this picture is clear, the photographer must have used a strobe flash during a long shutter speed to capture the body image at several points of action The photographer panned the camera with these bikers during a slow shutter speed because the background is blurry while they are pretty sharp Microsoft Clipart A slow shutter speed can turn an ordinary street light into a dancing phenomenon Roy Boswell

5 Shutter Speed Fast Shutter Speed freezes action shutter opens and closes quickly more light required Jenna McNeill

6 Film Stock /www.peterlindbergh.net/gallery3.html High Speed vs. Low Speed film Sensitivity of film to light (ISO/ASA) High Speed Film (Grainy) very sensitive to light bigger grains (less silver halides) requires little light (smaller aperture) A digital image can also look grainy. Setting the ISO to a high number mimics a high film speed and produces a grainy image. This image was taken with little light visible and at an ISO of 800 Lindbergh is famous for grainy images Jenna McNeill

7 Film Stock Slow Speed Film (Fine Grained) less sensitive to light smaller grains (more silver halides) requires more light (larger aperture) Fine grained is automatic for digital cameras Jenna McNeill www.heartfactory.org

8 Color vs. Black & White Black & White elevates a bland snapshot to an interesting landscape. recreates nostalgia of a bygone era conveys antique, sentimental feeling shape, lighting, contrast, texture and tone become the dominant elements Color reality Stimulating Separates subject from background if two different colors www.deviantart.com/view/11066525/

9 Color vs. Black & White www.davidkaspar.com

10 Camera Angle www.deviantart.com/view/11016918 www.deviantart.com/view/10898714 High Angle orients viewer by showing all elements in picture area minimizes strength of subject Low Angle distorts scale adds strength to subject emphasizes certain elements of picture separates subject from background  

11 Framing The branches of this plant frame the sun Microsoft Clipart Jenna McNeill how the central image is framed within photo Faces are framed by the gloves and hair

12 Composition shot size wide shot long shot medium long shot medium shot medium close up close up extreme close up closure psychological desire for wholeness avoid natural cutoff points www.heartfactory.org Example of close up shot

13 Frame Weight subjects have psychological weight lack of balance = uneasiness symmetrical balance asymmetrical balance rule of thirds lookspace leadroom Magnetism center draws greatest attention edges pull subject off frame proximity effect Composition Jenna McNeill Sydney is positioned on the left third. Her mom’s legs make a strong diagonal that leads to her face These two are positioned on the left and middle thirds. Their heads make a diagonal and there is sufficient lookspace to right

14 Lighting http://www.heartfactory.org Quality hard, direct, spotted soft, diffused, flooded Direction key light fill light back light Color indoor “tungsten” = orange outdoor = blue florescent = greenish Jenna McNeill If an image is taken under outdoor light, or if the whitebalance is set for “indoor” and it is taken outside, the image will be blue The candle and a diffused light setup gives the image above a romantic look. A backlight and an absence of fill and direct light causes a silhouette to the right
