Unit 57 discusses various photographic terminology including: Shutter speed which controls the brightness and movement in images. ISO which changes the light sensitivity of images. Aperture and depth of field which determine the distance of sharp focus. Automatic and manual exposures which control how the camera exposes images. Colour balance adjusts hues. Composition sets the framing. The rule of thirds positions subjects. Complementary colours contrast foreground and background. Analogous colours group similar hues. And macro photography provides close-up shots.

1. Unit 57: Photography and Photographic Practice Terminology (P1, P2, M1, M2)
Term Explanation of term e.g. what it Examples
is used for / the effect it has on
your images
Shutter Speed Shutter speed is where for example
you’re driving a car at nigh an it is that
bright light that follows the car. The
technique is useful for to make the
image more bright and colourful and
in audience point of view this will
attract an attention. The effect of on
this image that shutter speed gives is
it changes the way the movement
appears in the picture.
ISO ISO is used to change the light ad
affection of the image inside the
camera and that will change the
sensitivity light of the image sensor
inside of it. The effect I has on the
image is I makes it sensitive in lightning
wise.
Aperture & Depth of DOF or in other words depth of fields is
field (F stop) basically the distance between the
nearest farthest object that appears I
the picture. When you’re using a
camera you know that he lens will
focus precisely only at one distance at
a time, the sharpness lowers on both
sides of the distance focus so
therefore within the depth of field

2. (DOF) the unsharpness is
imperceptible under normal viewing
condition
Automatic Exposure Automatic Exposure is basically in the
camera settings and you can set it up.
The effect it has on the image it makes
the image more exposed so it is being
focused on the main image which is
the duck and how it does hat it also
blurs the background as you can tell if
you look at the image.
Manual Exposure Manual exposure is also in the camera
settings so all you o s switch it on and
you will end up with that effect.
Within manual exposure mode you
will be able to set aperture and
shutter speed mode and then you will
end up having control over the
exposure system.

3. Colour Balance Basically colour balance you know
what it is when you see the name of
the title all it is when you changed the
balance of the colour in the image
from the original colour. The effect I
has on the image is it makes it more
attractive and colourful than it
originally was.
Composition The meaning of composition in the
photographic term is depth of field it is
the same it just makes the image
wider and bigger in the best view. The
effect it has on the image is it makes it
a whole lot attractive because there is
a bigger and better view and people
who look at images are interested in
wide shots.
Rule of thirds The rule of thirds is a graph in the
camera where you are taking a
picture it gets the left middle and right
of the screen on point so you get the
best picture possible. The effect it has
on the image is it makes it larger.

4. Complementary Complementary colours are pair of
Colours colours that are opposite in colour
models the main colours are white
and grey and black so what it does is
mix the colours together. The effect it
has on the image it makes the
background dark so the foreground
can stand out more so it basically
shades the background.
Analogous colours Analogous Colours is basically a group
of bright colours. Most often use with
warm and cool colours so it can give
that colourful harmony. Then it will
make that colourful bright looking
image examples of Analogous colours
are the bright ones such as red
orange yellow green blue violet etc.

5. Macro Macro Is just the same meaning of
close up so it is a shot taking closely
zooming on the main part of the
image. It has a big effect on the
image because it gives it that
professional feeling. Photographers
mostly use this technique when taking
pictures of something small such as an
incest or flower etc.
