  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 Microsoft Clipart

  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 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 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 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 Roy Boswell A slow shutter speed can turn an ordinary street light into a dancing phenomenon www.mikedaddy.com/photoblog/archives

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

  6. Film Stock • 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 /www.peterlindbergh.net/gallery3.html Jenna McNeill Lindbergh is famous for grainy images

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

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

  11. Framing • how the central image is framed within photo Microsoft Clipart The branches of this plant frame the sun Jenna McNeill 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. Composition Sydney is positioned on the left third. Her mom’s legs make a strong diagonal that leads to her face • 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 Jenna McNeill These two are positioned on the left and middle thirds. Their heads make a diagonal and there is sufficient lookspace to right Jenna McNeill

  14. Lighting 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 • Quality • hard, direct, spotted • soft, diffused, flooded • Direction • key light • fill light • back light • Color • indoor “tungsten” = orange • outdoor = blue • florescent = greenish Jenna McNeill Jenna McNeill 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 http://www.heartfactory.org
