Welcome
The term "Framed" refers to the act of enclosing or presenting something within a frame, which is a common practice in photography to enhance the visual appeal of an image. "Shot" relates to capturing a photograph, often used to describe the act of taking a picture. Together, "The Framed Shot" suggests a focus on both the artistic presentation of photographs and the moments captured, implying a professional and curated approach to photography. The name evokes a sense of artistry and attention to detail in the photography business.
Rectilinear
A rectilinear camera lens is a type of photographic lens designed to minimize or eliminate barrel and pincushion distortion, creating images where straight lines in the real world appear straight in the photograph. Unlike fisheye lenses, which intentionally produce a curvilinear effect, rectilinear lenses maintain a more natural and accurate perspective, particularly valuable in fields like architectural photography where geometric precision is crucial. The primary characteristic is its ability to render straight features, such as building walls or horizons, as straight lines rather than curved ones. Rectilinear lenses are designed to correct for or minimize barrel and pincushion distortion, which can cause lines to bow outward or inward, respectively. By maintaining straight lines, rectilinear lenses deliver images that generally align with how the human eye perceives the world. Rectilinear lenses achieve their distortion correction through a precise arrangement of lens elements. These elements are engineered to counteract the natural tendency of light rays to bend in a way that would create distortion, ensuring that the relative positions of light rays are maintained as they pass through the lens. At particularly wide angles, rectilinear lenses can cause objects near the edges of the frame to appear increasingly stretched and enlarged. Photographers using rectilinear lenses, especially at wider angles, need to be mindful of composition to manage this edge distortion. Placing important subjects closer to the center can minimize the effect. While rectilinear lenses are designed for distortion correction, it's important to remember that even they can exhibit some level of perspective distortion, especially at wider angles. Careful composition and post-processing techniques like lens correction tools can further enhance the results when using these lenses.
