PERSPECTIVE OR HOW TO MAKE OR BREAK YOUR SHOTS …. A QUICK LESSON

“just as photo-graphy can, the physical structure of the eye does explain the perspective (and to some extent, the angle of view) that we see”

SO, WHERE WE STAND, AND TAKE THE SHOT IS IN EFFECT NOT ONLY DETERMINING ITS SUCCESS, BUT ALSO ITS INTENT. THE PHOTOGRAPHER MUST RELAY THAT INTENT CREATIVELY UPON THE VIEWER
OH YEAH… WE CALL THAT ART

KEY INGREDIENTS IN PERSPECTIVE IMAGES• FOCAL LENGTH, DETERMINED BY
– APERTURE/FSTOP– LENSES– LENGTH OF MULLET (just making sure you’re
paying attention)
The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly it converges (focuses) or diverges (diffuses) light. A system with a shorter focal length has greater optical power than one with a long focal length.
![Page 5: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
MORE ON APERTURE & FOCAL LENGTH
• Since the F-number system is based on the ratio between the aperture diameter and the focal length of the lens, in theory, a given F-stop transmits the same amount of light on any focal length lens. For example, F/8 on a 100mm lens theoretically transmits the same amount of light as F/8 on a 1000 mm lens. Of course, F/8 on the 1000mm lens means an aperture diameter of 125mm, while F/8 on the 100mm lens means a diameter of 12.5.
• The larger the lens, the larger the aperture diameter required to attain the desired F-stop. Large diameter lenses, for this reason, don’t have f-stops as small as F/1.4 (smaller number=wider opening) they would need an aperture opening of 357mm or 14 inches!!

COMPARE THIS IMAGE
TO THE FOLLOWING
ONE
![Page 7: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
WHICH WAS SHOT CLOSER, AND WHICH USED A ZOOM LENS?:
The difference in scale should be fairly clear. Things like texture will often change depending on not only the light present at the time of the exposure and camera settings, but the type of lens and angle between the photographer and subject.
There are many things that can affect the depth of field.

CAPTURE SEVERAL IMAGES IN A SERIES:
![Page 9: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
![Page 10: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
![Page 11: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
OR PERHAPS TRY A UNIQUE VANTAGE POINT:
![Page 12: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
OR SEVERAL WITH JUST SUBTLE VARIATIONS:
![Page 13: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ALWAYS MAKING SURE TO NOT ONLY FOCUS:
![Page 14: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
BUT COMPOSE YOUR SHOT ACCORDING TO THE RULE OF THIRDS & SUPPLY A SENSE OF URGENCY OR INTEREST:
![Page 15: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
TRY LOOKING FOR VARIED OR DIVERSE SUBJECT MATTER WITH UNIQUE
TEXTURES:
![Page 16: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
MAKE SURE THE PROCESS IS DOCUMENTED, USE A SHOOTING LOG SO YOU MAY BE ABLE TO REPEAT CRUCIAL STEPS… ALWAYS DOCUMENT
SETTINGS!
![Page 17: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
MOST IMPORTANTLY HAVE FUN …AND FIND SOME SCENERY YOU MAY NOT NORMALLY THINK TO PHOTOGRAPH
![Page 18: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
PHOTOGRAPHY & SNAPSHOTS ARE OFTEN NOT THE SAME
![Page 19: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
EFFECTIVE COMPOSITION IN PHOTOGRAPHY COMES FROM SKILL & KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPED THROUGH CAREFUL PRACTICE AND ARTISTIC
CONSIDERATION
![Page 20: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
BUT THEN AGAIN, YOU ALREADY KNEW ALL THIS… RIGHT?
![Page 21: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
SO ENJOY THE PROCESS, BUT RE-MEMBER
THE KEY TO GETTING WHAT YOU REALLY WANT
![Page 22: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
COMES FROM A DIVERSE SUBJECT AMOUNT OF SUBJECT MATTER, USUALLY A TRIPOD,
SKILL WITH LIGHT AND CAMERA SETT-INGS, SKILL IN THE DARK ROOM
![Page 23: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
AND ENOUGH FLEXIBILITY AND EXCITEMENT FOR THE PROCESS TO SEE BEYOND WHAT’S PREDICTED
![Page 24: Perspective Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5491e323b479592d4b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
