photography intro

Texture can add a significant amount of interest in any picture. Texture is a good idea when you’re taking pictures of rocks, walls, surfaces, someone's hands, or leaves. Generally, the surface characters of an object, e.g. rough, or smooth. In photography, careful control of lighting can be used to describe a surface by adding an obvious quality in terms of depth, shape and tone suggesting three dimensions. In order to make a picture reveal a texture you must make sure the light is coming almost exactly from the side of the surface so it creates shadows in key places.


Linear perspective-The notion of depth given by converging parallel lines, and changes of subject scale between foreground and background elements. A lens with a focal length longer than the diagonal of the film format with which it is used.
