Backlighting
When the primary light source is behind the subject, often creating silhouettes or highlighting outlines.
Shallow DOF
A sharply focused subject against a blurred background or foreground, emphasizing the main subject.
Greater DOF
Multiple elements in the scene, from near to far, are in sharp focus.
Tungsten White Balance
Colors appear balanced under tungsten lighting, preventing them from looking too warm or orange.
Grain
Visible specks or dots, resembling fine sandpaper, especially noticeable in areas of uniform color or shadow.
Blurred Action
The effect of motion blur in a photograph, showing movement.
Frozen Action
When motion in a photograph appears sharp and clear, with no blur.
Bokeh
Soft, out-of-focus areas with blurred lights or shapes, often creating a dreamy or ethereal effect.
Ambient Light
The natural or existing light in a scene, not provided by artificial sources like flash.
Overexposed
When too much light reaches the camera sensor, resulting in a bright or washed-out image.
Underexposed
When too little light reaches the camera sensor, resulting in a dark or shadowy image.
Golden Hour
The period shortly after sunrise or before sunset when the light is soft, warm, and ideal for photography.
Candid
A photograph taken without the subject's knowledge, capturing natural and unposed moments.
Lens Flare
Artifacts caused by light hitting the camera lens directly, often appearing as streaks or spots.
Monochromatic
A photograph composed of varying shades of a single color or hue.
Vibrance
The intensity of colors in a photograph, enhancing muted tones without oversaturating.
Saturation
The intensity or purity of colors in a photograph, adjusting how vivid they appear.
Vignette

Something new that I learned is how to edit a photo to be a vignette photo. What I enjoyed most about this project is how many different things and types of photos I got to take. The most challenging thing to do was getting the lens flare because it was very cloudy and I couldn't see the sun. I apply what I learned in this project to my future photographs by now having more knowledge on how to edits photos in different ways.
