Photographic Techniques flashcards

Photographic Techniques flashcards

Start with Photo Techniques if you want to practise camera terms. Its cards pair fast and slow shutter speeds with their effects on motion, and wide and narrow apertures with what is in focus. They also cover viewpoints, including a bird's-eye view.

For a different set of ideas, Revived and Remade includes terms such as conceptual, performative, staged and archive. Choose the deck that matches the terms you are studying.

Using the decks to revise

Work through a few cards at a time. Try to recall the explanation before looking at it, then return to the terms you found less familiar. Compare the shutter speed and aperture cards to practise telling their effects apart.

When you want a broader view of a topic, switch to a mind map on the unit page. A quiz there can give you another way to check your recall. Try a deck and see which terms you want to revisit.
