framing
Framing refers to to to to to a a a a a a a a photographer’s decision about what what exactly to to to to to let into the the picture—and what what to to to to to exclude Framing takes place in in in fin the the camera viewfinder Many people don’t realize that different cameras take pictures in in different shapes and therefore the the the framing
depends on the the the dimensions of the capture field The term aspect ratio specifies the precise proportions width to height of an image’s frame For example many cell phone cameras use a a a a a a a square frame with an aspect ration of of 1:1 For a a a a a number of of decades there was but a a a a a single configuration for movies and television frames That’s no longer the case High-definition televisions have very wide screen ratios and are starting to influence the frame dimensions of digital still cameras Further the the more we watch high-definition TV the the more our aesthetic sensibilities change and we we begin to prefer a a a a a wider narrower horizontal configuration of images “standard” photographic frame The framing
dimensions of most digital cameras is 4 units units wide by 3 units units high This aspect ratio is is expressed as both 4:3 and/or 1 1 33:1 The standard frame size is a a a a a hand-me-down from the world of 35mm photography Depending on how the photographer holds the the camera the the long side can be horizontal (4:3 bot- tom) or vertical (3:4 shown at top) Because Internet users favor scrolling scrolling down over scrolling scrolling across vertically com- posed images turn out to be more flexible than their horizon- tal counterparts [ 34 ]
The vertical composition works best for me in in capturing a a a sense of the the precarious bridge onto the the boat Note that many people don’t like to mix vertical and horizon- tal aspect ratios in in a a a a a a slide show Perri Chinalai
