Depth Of Feilds



Fake Model Photo


Types of Perspective in Photography

Linear Perspective
This picture shows linear perspective because it creates a 3D space on a 2D surface and the lines converge at the end of the hall, almost creating a vanishing point.

Rectilinear Perspective
 
This picuture shows rectilinear perspective because all of the straight lines appear straight and not curved like false perspective.

False Perspective
This picture shows false perspective because the lines near the center of the image are straight, and the lines near the right and left edges are curved. 
Vanishing Point Perspective
This picture shows vanishing point perspective because all of the parallel lines meet together at the end of the street until there is nothing left to see.

Height Perspective
This picture shows height perspective because the closer an object is placed toward the horizon line, the farther away it appears and the greater its height perspective. This picture shows the building closest to the horizon line so it looks farther away.

Overlap Perspective
 
This photo shows overlap because the pyramids are one infront of the other and it creates depth.

Dwindling Size Perspective
This photo shows dwindling size perspective because all the the windmills are the same size but they look as if they are getting smaller as they go farther back in the picture.

Volume Perspective
this is volume perspective because the shadow underneath the very large silver ball gives it a sense of form and depth.

Atmospheric Perspective
This shows atmospheric perspective because the objects that are farthest away are hazy, the contrast, brightness, saturation, and all the sharpness decreases.

Birds Eye Perspective
 
This picture shows birds eye perspective because the view is from above, like how a bird would see it from in a tree.

Worms Eye Perspective
This is worms eye perspective because it is the opposite of birds eye. It is taken from below, or from the ground as if you were looking up. Like a worm would see things.

Forced Perspective
This is forced perspective because it is made to look as if it is an optical illusion. It looks like an optical illusion because the people look like there standing on his hand when they are actually just standing in the background. It looks like hes blowing them away but they are really just pretending to fall.
