6 11 22 32 45 64 Controlling Sharpness Our perception of image sharpness is based on a combination of subjective and measurable factors. One of the most important aspects of sharpness is a lens' resolving power, its ability to record fine detail. We can also measure contrast (differences in density) and acutance—a measurement of edge sharpness or how rapidly the change in density occurs across the border of adjacent details in the subject. Lighting, flare, granularity, exposure, and even development interplay to affect the image.
For more information on filters, see chapter 8. Lighting and Shadows: By varying the lighting, you can heighten or suppress the appearance of depth in a photograph. Shadowing can be particularly useful in revealing the threedimensional form of an object. As an experiment, if you light the top. front, and sides of a small white box so that they are equally bright, you'll notice that the evenness of the lighting all but eliminates the box's form. But by changing the lighting (in direction or intensity) to create a distinct difference in luminance for each of the box's surfaces, the form is restored.
Strong linear perspective is also evident in the convergence of parallel lines in horizontal planes. The lines in buildings, railroad tracks, or city streets narrow toward a single vanishing point (onepoint perspective). Parallel lines may also converge in different planes and in different directions. When you look at the outside of a building from a corner, for example, the horizontal lines of the two sides converge toward two separate vanishing points (twopoint perspective). Linear perspective allows you to readily accept the apparent change in the size of an object as being the result of a change in distance—you know that objects look smaller when they are farther away.
