1. Rule of thirds- when you have to vertical and two horizontal lines on the photo that help you align the subject.
2. Balancing Elements- when you place your main subject off center but need something to "balance" it on the other side.
3. Leading Lines- by putting lines that direct the attention to the subject, or take you on a journey.
4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)- exactly what it says, when the picture presents a pattern or is equally symmetrical to the eye.
5. Viewpoint- this is when you take the picture from an interesting point of view.
6. Background- this is when you incorporate the background into the photo, or have a very simplistic background so that the eye is only drawn towards the subject of the photo.
7. Create depth- when you take a picture that shows different depths of the subject and the background.
8. Framing- this is when you are able to fit the subject into a "frame" or something that resembles that.
9. Cropping- if you crop really tight around the subject of interest it eliminates the background area from distraction.
10. Mergers and avoiding them- this is when something in the image runs into or blends in with the main subject and avoiding mergers is taking the picture from a different angle or behind a different background to avoid that.
Aperture- is a device that controls the amount of light admitted through an opening.
Shutter Speed- is the length of time the cameras shutter is open when taking the photo.
ISO- is the measurement of how sensitive a digital cameras sensor is to light. The lower the number, the slower the response to light.
What's acceptable to photoshop in an image is a blemish or messed up teeth or something to that extreme, anything else is too far of a stretch from real and people won't take anything seriously.
Portraits
Environmental- a portrait that relates to the background of the image.
Self Portrait- a portrait of yourself that you take.
Casual- a portrait of someone that is not in a background that relates to them, but in a casual background.
Exposure- the amount of light per unit area.
Depth of field- the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image. Focal Length- a lens with a focal length shorter than normal is often referred to as a wide-angle lens, while a lens significantly longer than normal may be referred to as a telephoto lens.
Magazine Covers:
1. Early Magazine Covers
Modeled after the covers of books, they often included a Title, table of contents, and sometimes a small picture.
2. The Poster Cover
Often the picture was the only thing on the cover besides the title, which even then was most often tiny and in a corner.
3. Pictures Married to Type
When words were starting to be used, but they didn't want to cover any of the picture.
4. In the Forest of Words
They figured out a way to work with the photograph, putting the words all over the cover, but never covering the face, etc.
