Key Terms and Concepts:
- Distortions of the photographic process can create striking effects.
- Camera’s lens doesn’t make mental adjustments between size and distance.
- Realists don’t use much lens distortion
- Formalists often uses lenses and filters that intensify qualities and suppress others.
- Shapes, colors and lighting can be dramatically modified by optical modifiers.
- 3 categories of lenses…1. Wide 2. Telephoto (Narrow) 3. Standard
- Telephoto lens get close-ups of objects from distances of dangerous shots or discreetly. A long focal length called a long lens.
- Telephoto lens are used for expressive techniques in focus between foreground and background or both. …rack focus or selective focus. Shift in focus can show a cause and effect relationship.
- Long lenses flatten the image so objects seem closer together
- Wide angle lens are also called short lenses- wide angles…used in deep focus shots…preserve sharp focus on all distance planes. Wider the lens the more it warps. Wide shots amplify movement.
- Lens can be used for cosmetic purposes…soft focus lenses give smooth and glamorours look
- Filters can also creative control the shot in color
- Fast Stock is highly sensitive to light and get capture images with no light. Often used with documentaries because doesn’t require lighting. Can produce a grainy image.
- Slow stock requires 10 times as much light and can caputure color precisely without washing it out.
