Color Temperature

A scale used to measure one component of color: its hue on a warm-cool scale. Measured in Degrees Kelvin, it refers to “warm” colors (reddish) to “cool” (bluish). Industry standard for electric lights include 5500ºK (“daylight”) and 3200ºK (“tungsten”). The color temperature of daylight can range widely from upwards of 20,000ºK on a very cloudy day (very blue) to below 2000º at sunrise or sunset (very red).

Phocabulary:

Resolution - The degree of detail an imaging system is capable of capturing. In the case of digital photography, this is a function of how many pixels an image sensor records, or the number and density of pixels within a physical print. The physical size of a sensor places limitations on how many discrete pixels can be fit onto it. With respect to a print, resolution is more flexible, as the larger the print, the farther away viewers typically stand. Billboards, for instance, typically have 10-15 pixels per inch. Prints intended to be viewed at arm’s length in a publication are commonly printed around 300 pixels per inch.

Phocabulary:

Contrast- The range of tones in an image from darkest to lightest. A high contrast image has a wider range of tones than a low contrast image. Raising the contrast pushes the midtones apart toward black and white. Lowering the contrast does the opposite.

Phocabulary:

Raw Format - A file format created by digital cameras or scanners designed to capture as accurately as possible the physical intensity and color of light. Sometimes referred to as “digital negatives”, RAW files are not quite images, as they must be interpreted through a number of software algorithms to become viewable, editable or printable. RAW files have no permanent commitment to white balance saturation, or contrast. In comparison to any other file format currently available, they are significantly larger than JPEG anreven TIFF files. The quality is far greater as well. They are never permanently changed by processing because a copy is always extracted while the original remains untouched.

Negative Space - the area between and around an object. This space may be considered empty but when used well can help give more attention to the main subject in an image. It is often a contrasting color and easiest seen in black and white images.

Phocabulary:

F Stop - A term used to describe the aperture, or opening of a lens. F-stops are defined numerically - f1/4, f5.6, f22, etc. Larger, or wider apertures, allow more light to enter the lens, which results in faster shutter speeds. Faster apertures also allow for selective focus (narrow depth-of-field), while smaller (slower) apertures allow for greater depth-of-field. Wider apertures are preferred for portraits, while smaller apertures are preferred for landscapes.

Phocabulary:

Depth of field (DOF) - The area of an image that is in focus. A large depth of field or “deep” focus is when most of the elements in your photo are in focus. A small depth of field of “shallow” focus is when on element at a particular distance is in focus.

Large aperture = shallow depth of field

Small aperture = large depth of field

Aperture - a space through which light passes in an optical or photographic instrument, especially the variable opening by which light enters a camera.

Shutter Speed - measurement of time that a camera's shutter is open—allowing light, usually after it has passed through a lens and through the aperture diaphragm, to strike a photosensitive surface, like film or a digital sensor.

ISO - International Standard Organization. The sensitivity rating for film.
