Focus Shift
A movement of the plane of sharpest focus as a lens is stopped down, caused by residual spherical aberration.
Genres, Movements & TheoryGroup f/64
A short-lived association of West Coast American photographers formed in 1932 to advocate sharp, unmanipulated photography.
Genres, Movements & TheoryLandscape Photography
Photography of natural or altered land, sea and sky, often concerned with light, weather and a sense of place.
Optics, Lenses & FiltersMacro Lens
A lens corrected for close focusing that reproduces a subject at life size or larger on the sensor.
Genres, Movements & TheoryMacro Photography
Photography at magnifications approaching or exceeding life size, revealing detail invisible to the unaided eye.
Cameras, Formats & SystemsMedium Format
Any format larger than 35 mm but smaller than 4×5 inches, covering film frames from 6×4.5 to 6×17 cm and digital sensors around 44×33 mm.
Motion, Video & Creative TechniquesPhotogrammetry
Deriving three-dimensional measurements and models from a set of overlapping photographs.
Motion, Video & Creative TechniquesPhotomicrography
Photography through a microscope, recording subjects at magnifications far beyond macro.
Motion, Video & Creative TechniquesRack Focus
Shifting focus from one subject to another during a shot, moving the viewer's attention deliberately.
Focus & Depth of FieldScheimpflug Principle
The rule that when a lens is tilted, the subject plane, lens plane and image plane all intersect along a single common line.
Exposure & MeteringShutter Priority
A semi-automatic mode, marked S or Tv, in which the photographer sets shutter speed and ISO while the camera chooses aperture.
Exposure & MeteringShutter Speed
The length of time the shutter stays open, controlling both total exposure and how much subject or camera movement is recorded as blur.
Exposure & MeteringT-stop
A measured aperture value that accounts for the light a lens actually transmits, rather than the geometric ratio an f-number implies.
Cameras, Formats & SystemsCrop Factor
The ratio between a sensor's diagonal and that of full frame, used to convert focal lengths into their full-frame equivalents.
Optics, Lenses & FiltersDiffraction
The spreading of light waves as they pass the edge of an aperture, which softens the image at small f-numbers.
Exposure & MeteringProgram Mode
An automatic mode, marked P, in which the camera selects both aperture and shutter speed while leaving other controls to the photographer.
