    The device contributed much to photography's emergence as a mass-market art form. His Watkins Manual of Exposure and Development (1900), ran to eleven editions. [5] On 30 June 1921, Watkins visited Blackwardine in Herefordshire and had the idea that there was a system of straight lines crossing the landscape dating from Neolithic times.

  3. Sensitometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitometry

    One example of this is, of course, the many sections of television newsfilm material rapidly intercut with live announcements by the newsreader. The telerecording film chain can be arranged to produce a direct negative-image film recording, a direct positive-image film recording, or a positive print can be made from the negative.

  4. Straight photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_photography

    Although taken by some to mean lack of manipulation, straight photographers in fact applied many common darkroom techniques to enhance the appearance of their prints.

    The Vertical-horizontal illusion is the tendency for observers to overestimate the length of a vertical line relative to a horizontal line of the same length. Vista paradox: Visual tilt effects: Wagon-wheel effect: White's illusion: Wundt illusion: The two red vertical lines are both straight, but they may look as if they are bowed inwards to ...

  7. Rectilinear lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectilinear_lens

    While this example has been rectilinear-corrected by software, high quality wide-angle lenses are built with optical rectilinear correction. In photography, a rectilinear lens is a photographic lens that yields images where straight features, such as the edges of walls of buildings, appear with straight lines, as opposed to being curved.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Image stitching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_stitching

    Lines that are straight in reality are shown as straight regardless of their directions on the image. Wide views – around 120° or so – start to exhibit severe distortion near the image borders. One case of rectilinear projection is the use of cube faces with cubic mapping for panorama viewing. Panorama is mapped to six squares, each cube ...
