Useful photohraphy definitions with examples of photographs part 1
Useful Photography definitions
Aperture: is the size of the hole in the lens which combined with the shutter speed, controls how much light gets into the camera.
Aperture mode / Aperture Priority: (AV) the mode that automatically calculates the shutter speed when you choose the aperture you want to use.
Camera shake: is when the camera moves as you press the button, causing the image to be blurred.
Close-up / Macro: means close-up photography and is great to photographs of flowers, bugs, shells and other tiny objects.
Composition: arranging objects in the photographs that look pleasing. Also see Rule of Thirds.
Contrast: is the difference between the bright and the dark areas of the photo. High contrast image will show very dark and very light areas in the same photograph.
Normal Image (balanced contrast):
High Contrast Image:
Low Contrast Image:
Cropping: Cutting of the edges of your image, either by moving in closer to the subject or trimming the edges using photo editing software.
Uncropped Image:
Cropped Image:
Depth of field (DOF): shows the range of components in a scene, front to back that remain sharp. Shallow depth of field makes the objects sharp in the foreground only. Deep DOF makes everything in the image sharp from foreground to the background.
The image below is photographed using Shallow depth of field, using f5.6
The image below is photographed using Deep depth of field, using f16

Sunrise on Loch Lomond
This photograph is part of series of photographs I took of Loch Lomond in Scotland. The first few photographs show the sun rising from behind the mountains, making the scene look on fire.
The boat and part of the mountains are in silhouette creating a very moody and a clam atmosphere in the scene. This emphasises the scale and the light falling on the Loch and the boat. I used a tripod and colours of the final image were edited in photoshop.

The Road to the Mountains
This photograph was taken on my driving holiday; we drove to Dover, Calais, France through to Switzerland.
This road was high up in the mountains on our way to Switzerland, the mist was coming from mountains in the distance on the left side of the road. I parked the car on the side and took this image. The final image was edited in Photoshop to create the infrared effect.

The spooky trees
It was a overcast day when I visited the caves at Peak Cavern, known as 'The Devil's Arse in the Peak District. The trees looked spooky, birds were flying. The atmosphere was very erry. I took this photograph outside the entrance of caves, by pointing the camera up to the sky.
I always photograph in colour, it was changed to black and white and increased the contrast in Lightroom.

Tip of the week
The mountain & cloud symbol stands for Landscape mode. Using this mode your camera will select the smallest aperture to maximise depth-of-field. Your image will be sharp both in the foreground and in the background. As the name suggests, use this mode to take landscape photographs.

Low Light and Night Photography
Taking photographs in low light conditions can be very exciting and creative. Here are 2 important things to keep in mind: -
1) The time of the day:
- Before sunrise (pre-dawn)
- Sunset
- After sunset (twilight & total darkness)
Pre-dawn (before Sunrise)
Before sunrise the light reflected from the sky hitting the scene is very soft and diffused, which means the shadows are very weak. Therefore the colour of the sky will be blue on clear days and grey on cloudy days, such lighting conditions can create very atmospheric photographs.
Cameras which do not have the Aperture Priority mode will often allow selecting different scene settings, such as ‘dusk/dawn’, ‘nightlight’ or ‘sunset’ modes (experiment which of these modes works best for your image).
Cameras which do not have the Aperture Priority mode will often allow selecting different scene settings, such as ‘dusk/dawn’, ‘nightlight’ or ‘sunset’ modes (experiment which of these modes works best for your image).
Here is a photograph of Loch Lomond which I took before sunrise. Set the camera on aperture priority mode at f11 or f16 and let the camera choose the shutter speed. The exposure will be long, so use a tripod as this will avoid camera shake.
The below photograph was taken at the same location just as the sun was rising.
Sunsets
To capture the sunset, you need to act quickly as it would normally set in minutes. Use same settings as before, setting the camera on aperture priority mode at f11 or f16.
After Sunset (Twilight and total darkness)
After the sun has set, there is still some light in the sky, giving a warm glow, which slowly fades to pastel colours of pink, blue and purple. This is the twilight and it will give long exposures from 10 seconds on wards. Here are some examples of photographs I took in twilight. As before, set your cameras on aperture mode at f11 or f16 to achieve maximum depth of field.
I photographed these three trees in the mist in the field, this was just after sunset. I used a tripod to keep the camera steady and set it to a long exposure.
Total darkness
During total darkness, there is obviously no natural light available. These are perfect conditions to photograph trailing lights from cars, lit cityscapes, fireworks and light movement. As before, the exposure will be very long and can lead to minutes, it is therefore vital to use a tripod to avoid camera shake. Set the camera at f11 or f16 on aperture mode.
I took this photograph at Wellington Park during the firework fiesta.
