Week 11 Vocabulary: action photography, stop motion, contrast
action photography: a photo featuring the subject in motion or action
stop motion: an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object moves in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence.
contrast: the difference in luminance or color that makes an object distinguishable. In visual perception of the real world, contrast is determined by the difference in the color and brightness of the object and other objects within the same field of view.

Week 10 Vocabulary: Rule of Thirds, perspective photography, distortion
Rule of Thirds: a "rule of thumb" or guideline that applies to the process of composing visual images such as design, film, paintings, or photographs. It proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines.
perspective: refers to the relationship of imaged objects in a photograph
distortion: a warping or transformation of an object and its surrounding area that differs significantly from what the object would look like with a normal focal length, due to the relative scale of nearby and distant features.

Week 9 Vocabulary: large format photography, miniature faking, view camera
large format photography: refers to any imaging format of 4x5 inches or larger. The main advantage of large format photography, film or digital, is higher resolution,. A 4x5 inch image has about 16 times the area, and thus 16x the total resolution, of a 35 mm frame.
miniature faking: also known as diorama effect or diorama illusion, is a process in which a photograph of a life-size location or object is made to look like a photograph of a miniature scale model.
view camera: a type of camera first developed in the era of the daguerreotype, and still in use today, though with many refinements. It compromises a flexible bellows that forms a light-tight seal between two adjustable standards, one of which holds a lens, and the other a viewfinder or a photographic film holder.
