    There's nothing necessarily wrong with this photo, but if you get comfortable with a certain photography style (such as portraits), it can be hard to branch out. Most mistakes that photographers ...

  3. Diffraction spike - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_spike

    Diffraction spikes are lines radiating from bright light sources, causing what is known as the starburst effect [1] or sunstars [2] in photographs and in vision. They are artifacts caused by light diffracting around the support vanes of the secondary mirror in reflecting telescopes , or edges of non-circular camera apertures , and around ...

  4. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    Another result of using a wide-angle lens is a greater apparent perspective distortion when the camera is not aligned perpendicularly to the subject: parallel lines converge at the same rate as with a normal lens, but converge more due to the wider total field. For example, buildings appear to be falling backwards much more severely when the ...

  5. Scheimpflug principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheimpflug_principle

    Rotating the lens (as by adjusting the front standard on a view camera) does not alter linear perspective [d] in a planar subject such as the face of a building, but requires a lens with a large image circle to avoid vignetting. Rotating the image plane (as by adjusting the back or rear standard on a view camera) alters perspective (e.g., the ...

  6. Dodging and burning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodging_and_burning

    One way to prevent obvious cover-up lines is to slightly shake the burning material over the covered area while it is being exposed. Another way to prevent obvious cover-up lines is to use slightly less opaque material closer to the outline to produce a more subtle, faded effect.

  7. Photographic composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_composition

    The composition techniques in photography are mere guidelines to help beginners capture eye-catching images. These provide a great starting point until an individual is able to outgrow them in capturing images through more advance techniques.

  8. Image stabilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_stabilization

    Image stabilization (IS) is a family of techniques that reduce blurring associated with the motion of a camera or other imaging device during exposure.. Generally, it compensates for pan and tilt (angular movement, equivalent to yaw and pitch) of the imaging device, though electronic image stabilization can also compensate for rotation about the optical axis (). [1]

  9. 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.
