Depth of field, Colour temperature and lighting.
Depth of field - Depth of field is the amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus in a photograph. A preferred selection Depth of field ("DOF") in a focused subject in an image can be quite subjective. Remember this, adequate selection of DOF for one situation; application may be unacceptable for another photographer. It is all a matter of personal preference when trying to determine the appropriate use of DOF to enhance an effect in a photograph.
"Colour Temperature?" - What has temperature got to do with colour?
Have you ever noticed how much redder things look outside in the early morning or late evening when compared with mid-day?
On a cloudy day, some colours appear more blue than when the sun is shining.
The sun is consistently the light source and yet, depending on the time of day and the amount of water in the atmosphere, it’s effect on the colour of things changes - like a rainbow.
Indoor lighting also has it’s effect. Fluorescent lighting casts a greenish colour, tungsten bulbs make things appear more orange and candle light turns colours redder still.
Architectural lighting design addresses exterior and interior lighting needs within residential and commercial spaces. Lighting can be a necessity, to light work tasks for example, or merely serve a decorative purpose. Some architectural lighting products are breaking new ground in energy conservation. Many consumers are willing to pay a higher purchase cost when buying compact-fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) with a longer life cycle or light-emitting diode (LED) lighting to save on electric bills.
