  2. Rule of thirds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds

    Analogous to this "Rule of thirds", (if I may be allowed so to call it) I have presumed to think that, in connecting or in breaking the various lines of a picture, it would likewise be a good rule to do it, in general, by a similar scheme of proportion; for example, in a design of landscape, to determine the sky at about two-thirds ; or else at ...

  3. Symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry

    Symmetry in physics has been generalized to mean invariance—that is, lack of change—under any kind of transformation, for example arbitrary coordinate transformations. [17] This concept has become one of the most powerful tools of theoretical physics , as it has become evident that practically all laws of nature originate in symmetries.

  4. Symmetry (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_(geometry)

    A drawing of a butterfly with bilateral symmetry, with left and right sides as mirror images of each other.. In geometry, an object has symmetry if there is an operation or transformation (such as translation, scaling, rotation or reflection) that maps the figure/object onto itself (i.e., the object has an invariance under the transform). [1]

  5. Headroom (photographic framing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headroom_(photographic...

    With a subject placed one-third of the way down from the top of the frame, the subject aligns with the proper headroom to make an image pleasing to the eye. This technique has carried on with other visual forms of art such as photography and cinematography.

  6. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

    These distortions generally do not possess figure-of-revolution symmetry and are thus astigmatic, and slowly become permanently polished into the surface if the problems causing the distortion are not corrected. Astigmatic, distorted surfaces potentially introduce serious degradations in optical system performance.

  7. Symmetry group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_group

    Two geometric figures have the same symmetry type when their symmetry groups are conjugate subgroups of the Euclidean group: that is, when the subgroups H 1, H 2 are related by H 1 = g −1 H 2 g for some g in E(n). For example: two 3D figures have mirror symmetry, but with respect to different mirror planes.

  8. Patterns in nature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterns_in_nature

    Animals mainly have bilateral or mirror symmetry, as do the leaves of plants and some flowers such as orchids. [30] Plants often have radial or rotational symmetry, as do many flowers and some groups of animals such as sea anemones. Fivefold symmetry is found in the echinoderms, the group that includes starfish, sea urchins, and sea lilies. [31]

  9. Shallow focus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_focus

    Shallow focus has become more popular in the 2000s and 2010s. It is also a means by which low budget filmmakers use to hide places that would require expensive props.It is often proclaimed by some to being a way to avoid the "video look."
