Q

Shutter Speed

A

The length of time that the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light (that is, when the camera shutter is open) when taking a photograph. The longer the shutter is open the brighter and more blurry the image is. the shorter, the darker and more clear the image.

67
Q

Negative Space

A

In art, is the empty space around and between the subject(s) of an image. It may be most evident when the space around a subject, not the subject itself, forms an interesting or artistically relevant shape, and such space occasionally is used to artistic effect as the “real” subject of an image.

Bokeh

A

The aesthetic quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image, caused by Circles of Confusion. It has also been defined as “the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light”. Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause very different effects.
