 Is It Clear or Blur?

DIRECTION: Tell whether the

statement is clear (True), Blur (False).
 Interesting foreground is the
portion of the frame that is closest
to the camera.
Shadow gives depth to two-
dimensional images.
Symmetry is the visual ratio of
different tones in an image.
Candid shots stand out.
Good lighting not under or over
exposed is too obvious.
A sharp photograph does not
require intent and skill
DIRECTION: Observe the given picture.
Explain the characteristics of the photo.
You may write your observation on your
notebook in 3 minutes.

Interesting Foreground-
it is the portion of the frame
that is closest to the camera.
The foreground space in an
image can be utilized to draw
attention to a subject located
further into the frame, for
example with leading lines, or
it can be used to frame the
subject.
o By definition, the foreground is the part of a view that’s closest
to the observer. As a photography term, it’s the part of the view
that’s closest to the camera.

o Understanding and controlling the foreground elements in a

photo can deliver intense compositions and narrative.

o A photo that has strong foreground elements is more appealing

to the viewer. It can be a core focal point or point of interest
that pulls the viewer into the image.

o When you consider that the foreground is the first thing we

observe in life and photos, it’s no wonder it’s such a vital part of
good photography.

o What’s more, foreground in a photograph provides perspective

and adds dimension to a flat physical image.
Sharpness- a sharp
photograph shows intent and
skill. There are times that
some parts of an image are
blurry or vague but can be
enhanced with the use of
neutral density filters.
Interesting perspective-
sometimes all photographs
need to be interesting. In order
to do this. There should be a
change of perspective. A shot
taken from a few inches from
the ground or under the
subject, something which is not
usually seen can produce great
images
Good lighting- not under
or over exposed is too obvious.
A photographer knows how to
really work with light which
can help create some truly
stunning images. Some rules
are meant to be broken and
lighting is one of them.
Symmetry- it is the quality
of being made up of exactly
similar parts facing each other
or around an axis. It can play
tricks in our brain and when
used properly in photography,
it creates interesting
photographs. Photographs of
architecture often use
symmetry.
Shadows- it gives depth
to two-dimensional images
or just interesting
composition builders.
Contrast- is the visual
ratio of different tones in
an image. This difference
is what creates the
textures, highlights,
shadows, colors and clarity
in a photograph.
Human Interest- Candid
shots stand out. It is better to
see photos with the subject
who isn’t reacting to the
camera but instead, living their
life.
Isolation- it is the ability to
draw the viewer’s attention
away from anything distracting
in the image and lead them
right to the main subject.
 Group the class into 4.
 Each group will be assigned a theme: (a. People/
Personalities, b. School, c. Nature and d.
Insights/Humor)
 Together with the group move around, take
photographs on the assigned theme. Store the best ones
for group evaluation. Apply the characteristics learned
in Photography.
 Each member should have 1 photo saved and collage
your artwork in apps. Submit your work to the
GC/Facebook group (MAPEH 10 OFFICIAL) or hand in to
the teacher. Do this in 15 minutes only.
