* PHOTOGRAPHS
- describe the scene in the photograph
- list everything in the photo, specifying their location using photograph terms illustrated below:
\multicolumn{3}{|c|}{SKY}
LEFT BACKGROUND | CENTRAL BACKGROUND | RIGHT BACKGROUND
LEFT MIDDLE GROUND | CENTRAL MIDDLE GROUND | RIGHT MIDDLE GROUND
LEFT FOREGROUND | CENTRAL FOREGROUND | RIGHT FOREGROUND
- The sky is as it appears in the photograph. State the cloud cover and the cloud type
- Divide the rest of the photograph, below the sky, into three equal horizontal units
- The bottom part is the foreground, it is the part nearest to the camera
- The part immediately below the sky is the background. It is the part furthest from the camera
- The middle ground is literally the central part, the area between the background and the foreground
- Then generally the left hand side and the right hand side are parts as well which you should use to locate features in a photograph
- The sky is not the background, but it is a unique part which should be described separately
