  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. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Distortion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(optics)

    In geometric optics, distortion is a deviation from rectilinear projection; a projection in which straight lines in a scene remain straight in an image.It is a form of optical aberration that may be distinguished from other aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, chromatic aberration, field curvature, and astigmatism in a sense that these impact the image sharpness without changing an ...

  6. Vanishing point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_point

    For example, when α is the ground plane and β is the horizon plane, then the vanishing line of α is the horizon line β ∩ π. To put it simply, the vanishing line of some plane, say α , is obtained by the intersection of the image plane with another plane, say β , parallel to the plane of interest ( α ), passing through the camera center.

  7. Composition (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_(visual_arts)

    Compared to straight lines, curves provide a greater dynamic influence in a picture. They are also generally more aesthetically pleasing, as the viewer associates them with nature and softness. In photography, curved lines can give graduated shadows when paired with soft-directional lighting, which usually results in a very harmonious line ...

  8. 180-degree rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/180-degree_rule

    The rule also applies to the movement of a character as the "line" created by the path of the character. For example, if a character is walking in a leftward direction and is to be picked up by another camera, the character must exit the first shot on frame left and enter the next shot frame right. A jump cut can be utilized to denote time. If ...

    Along these lines, it can be argued that photography is a subjective form of representation. Modern photography has raised a number of concerns on its effect on society. In Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window (1954), the camera is presented as promoting voyeurism. 'Although the camera is an observation station, the act of photographing is more than ...
