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.

Bio of a Stranger



Dear Diary,
Today’s no different than any other. My job swallows my whole life up. I have no time for myself. Especially working for the CIA, no one can even know who I am. It’s awful! I can never just go shopping in this beautiful city I live in and enjoy it. New York City has so many shops that I would love to go to, but considering my profession, I have to keep a low profile. We’re working on a really big case, involving the President and it’s really a lot of work. I can’t say much, but I am exhausted. They have given me a fake name that I must go by, Gurtrude Windspear. I don’t enjoy this name because my original name is so wonderful, Elizabeth James. Being a part of the CIA is almost like living two lives. I live as two people in one body and they both want it thier way. Elizabeth wants to go shopping and go to time square and go by her real name and be free. While Gurtrude wants to be in on all the action and not miss a beat. I don’t know what to do. I have given up on love as well. I adore Jeremy from work but he doesn’t seem to know I exist. He’s too busy trying to suck up to the boss to get that big promotion. Oh well, maybe one day he will see how he puts that glow in my eyes when he walks in the room. I haven’t any time to try to meet someone else. All my time, as you know is dedicated to my career. Hopefully one day I can live a normal life like the rest of these people around me. Thank you for listening diary. I shall write soon.
Sincerely,  Elizabeth.
