More about reading photographs Symmetry • Something is symmetrical if the image is the balanced on either side of a central line. Symmetry in an image creates a sense of harmony and balance of proportion. • It creates a pleasing picture in a photograph, but sometimes the lack of balance can also suit a photographer’s purpose. This is called asymmetry. Downloaded from hlayiso.com English FAL NQF Level 4

More about reading photographs Pattern • A pattern is a repeated decorative design. Sometimes patterns are deliberate. • At other times, the pattern may be created by a natural effect, such as when clouds create a pattern in the sky. Downloaded from hlayiso.com English FAL NQF Level 4

More about reading photographs • The photographer can shoot from any angle, and create patterns. • As with symmetry, when those patterns are broken, the resulting photograph can also be interesting. Downloaded from hlayiso.com English FAL NQF Level 4

More about reading photographs Texture • The texture is how we imagine an image would feel. • Texture becomes evident to the viewer when lighting and shadow are used to highlight objects. Downloaded from hlayiso.com English FAL NQF Level 4

More about reading photographs Line • Any lines that exist naturally in the picture will draw the viewer’s eyes to the end of the line. • Often the focal point of the picture is at the end of those lines. • The lines can be horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or they can join each other.

Depth of field Definition Definition Depth of field is the term used to describe the distance between the Mathematics NQFnearest Level and 2 the furthest objects in an image. In a photograph or picture it describes what can be seen clearly and what is out of focus. Downloaded from hlayiso.com English FAL NQF Level 4

Depth of field Shallow focus: The depth of field is shallow to create a shallow focus plane (objects close up are in focus, others are blurred or the other way around). Downloaded from hlayiso.com English FAL NQF Level 4 2

Depth of field Deep focus: This is a technique of photography that permits all distance planes to remain clearly in focus, from close-up range to infinity. This technique captures objects at close, medium and long ranges, at the same time. The objects in a deep focus shot are carefully arranged in a series of planes. By using this layering technique, the photographer can guide the viewer’s eye from one distance to another and another. Downloaded from hlayiso.com English FAL NQF Level 4 2

Depth of field Rack focus: The focus is shifted so that part of the picture becomes blurred and another part becomes sharp. Downloaded from hlayiso.com English FAL NQF Level 4 2

Infographics They combine a number of facts in a visual form. The reader makes sense of the text, images, colour and font rather than just reading the paragraphs. Infographics must also have a flow of information for the reader to follow. The information or data is represented by visual images on the chart, which are interpreted by the reader. Infographics must also have a flow of information for the reader to follow. The layout shows the relationship between the different elements on the infographic and allows the information to be accessed quickly and easily. There are many different ways to create infographics, but the main principle is to avoid white backgrounds and not to include too much text. Downloaded from hlayiso.com English FAL NQF Level 4
