  2. Perspective (graphical) - Wikipedia

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

    How linear or point-projection prospective works: Rays of light travel from the object (cube), through the picture plane, and to the viewer's eye (O). Vanishing points emitting straightly lines coincident with the edges the cube drawn on the picture plane are located at the left and right of the plane.

  3. Vanishing point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_point

    A photo demonstrating a vanishing point at the end of the railroad. A vanishing point is a point on the image plane of a perspective rendering where the two-dimensional perspective projections of mutually parallel lines in three-dimensional space appear to converge.

  4. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    Simulation showing how adjusting the angle of view of a camera, while varying the camera's distance and keeping the object in frame, results in vastly differing images. At narrow angles and long distances, light rays are nearly parallel, resulting in a "flattened" image. At wide angles and short distances, objects appear foreshortened or distorted.

  5. History of photographic lens design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_photographic...

    Some lenses were marked by T-stops (transmission stops) instead of f-stops to indicate the light losses. [198] T-stops were "true" or effective aperture stops and were common for motion picture lenses, [9]: 349–350 so that a cinematographer could ensure that consistent exposures were made by all the different lenses used to make a movie. This ...

  6. Outline of photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_photography

    Photography – process of making pictures by the action of recording light patterns, reflected or emitted from objects, on a photosensitive medium or an image sensor through a timed exposure. The process is done through mechanical , chemical , or electronic devices known as cameras .

  7. Diaphragm (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Thus it is also called a stop (an aperture stop, if it limits the brightness of light reaching the focal plane, or a field stop or flare stop for other uses of diaphragms in lenses). The diaphragm is placed in the light path of a lens or objective , and the size of the aperture regulates the amount of light that passes through the lens.

  8. Contre-jour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contre-jour

    Before its use in photography, contre-jour was used in painting, where the shadows would fall to the left on the left, to the right on the right and forward in the lower centre. The edges of the subject would show surprising colour effects.
