MEGABYTE

Just over one million bytes

MEGAPIXEL

A million pixels

MEMORY

The storage capacity of a hard drive or other recording media

MEMORY CARD

Typical recording medium of digital cameras. Memory cards can be used to store still images, moving images, or sound as well as related file data. Individual card capacity as well as by the size of the recorded data, such as image resolution.

MENU

MID-TONE

The tone that appears as medium brightness, or medium gray tone, in a photographic print

MODE

Specified operating conditions of the camera or software program

NOISE

The digital equivalent of grain. It is often caused by a number of different factors such as a high ISO setting, heat, sensor design, etc. Though usually undesirable, it may be added for creative effect using an image-processing program.

OVEREXPOSED

When too much light is recorded with the image, causing the photo to be too light in tone.

PAN

Moving the camera to follow a moving subject. When a slower shutter speed is used, this creates an image which the subject appears sharp and the background is blurred.

PERSPECTIVE

The effect of the distance between the camera and image elements upon the perceived size of objects in an image. It is also an expression of this three-dimensional relationship in two dimensions.

PIXEL

Derived from picture element. A pixel is the base component of a digital image. Every individual pixel can have distinct color and tone

POLARIZATION

An effect achieved by using a polarizing filter. It minimizes reflections from nonmetallic surfaces like water and glass and saturates colors by removing glare. Polarization often makes skies appear bluer at 90 degrees to the sun. The term also applies to the above effects stimulated by a polarizing software filter.  

RAW

An image file format that has little or no internal processing applied by the camera. It contains 12-bit color information, a wider range of data than 8-bit formats such as JPEG

RESOLUTION

The amount of data available for an image as applied to image size. It is expressed in pixels or megapixels, or sometimes as lines per inch on a monitor or dots per inch on a printed image.

the rules of third

The Rule of Thirds

          Taking more impressive pictures isn’t hard but takes work, the rule of thirds is the easiest to apply but tricky to master. Beginning photographers tend to not focus on the object. By focusing merely on the center object, by doing this you draw the eye to focus on the center. The rule of thirds has you mentally superimpose this grid upon your scene and move the subject so that it sits on one of these lines. Be aware that the closer you are to a subject the more difficult it is to apply the rule of thirds. For example full length portraits, require you to place your subject to one side of the center of the image. Another example is with close up portraits the subject would be the eyes because they fall nicely on the vertically third line and the top third line.

Well taking photos are not as easy as it look. With a little bit of practice and key points to focus on, your pictures will come out looking professional and fun.

Take photos at an eye level angle for more engaging photos. Capturing the eye contact in a photo is much more personal and inviting.

When taking photos, remember to focus on the subject. By having a plain background you avoid unwanted distractions from the subject.

Some think to only use flash in a dark environment. Using flash even on a sunny day is beneficial to eliminating the shadows and adding brightness to the face. There are different flash settings to use in different scenarios. Be mindful of what image you are attempting to capture when deciding to use a full-flash or a fill-flash setting.

When taking photos of a subject smaller than a car, step closer before taking the picture and zoom. Fill the frame with the subject as much as possible and pay attention to capturing the fine details.

To bring your photos to life, capture the whole scene by moving your subject away from the center of the frame. If your subject is not in the center of the frame, remember to lock your focus or it will come out blurry. To lock the focus, center the subject then press and hold halfway down. Then reposition your camera to move the subject away from the middle. Finish by pressing the shutter button all the way down and taking the final shot.

When taking photos that require you to use flash, keep in mind your flash’s range. Make sure your subject is no more than your subject.

Pay close attention to lighting and the way it illuminates certain subjects. If you have to, adjust both yourself and your subject to get the best angle of lighting that fits the subject.

Instead of taking all horizontal photos, dont be afraid to switch up and take vertical photos. It can help better capture the image so the photo is ultimately focused on the subject rather than distractions a horizontal picture can capture.

Lastly, be a photo director. Take charge of your subjects and position them in fun different poses. Add props and give your subjects direction.
