  2. 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. Rather than factual accuracy, the term came to imply a specific aesthetic typified by higher contrast and rich tonality, sharp focus, aversion to cropping , and a Modernism ...

  3. Perspective (graphical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_(graphical)

    Linear or point-projection perspective works by putting an imaginary flat plane that is close to an object under observation and directly facing an observer's eyes (i.e., the observer is on a normal, or perpendicular line to the plane). Then draw straight lines from every point in the object to the observer.

  4. Photographic composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_composition

    Photographic composition techniques are used to set up the elements of a picture. These are the techniques which resembles the way we humans normally see a view Some of the main techniques that are: Simplicity (photography) Symmetrical balance; Asymmetrical balance; Radial balance; Rule of thirds; Leading lines [1] Golden ratio; Framing ...

  5. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    For example, if standing at a distance so that a normal lens captures someone's face, a shot with a wide-angle lens or telephoto lens from the same distance will have exactly the same linear perspective geometry on the face, though the wide-angle lens may fit the entire body into the shot, while the telephoto lens captures only the nose.

  6. Jaggies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaggies

    Jaggies are stair-like lines that appear where there should be "smooth" straight lines or curves. For example, when a nominally straight, un-aliased line steps across one pixel either horizontally or vertically, a "dogleg" occurs halfway through the line, where it crosses the threshold from one pixel to the other.

  7. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    For example, for 35 mm film which is 36 mm wide and 24 mm high, = would be used to obtain the horizontal angle of view and = for the vertical angle. Because this is a trigonometric function, the angle of view does not vary quite linearly with the reciprocal of the focal length.

  8. Wall Street (photograph) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street_(photograph)

    The depiction of the real nature of the medium and the subject is an example of straight photography. There is no focal point, with the lines converging off of the frame of the image. The financial building take majority of the frame. Emphasis is placed on the strong shapes created by the architecture of the building.

  9. List of optical illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_optical_illusions

    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 ...
