Time sequences of interleaved observations of the continuum intensity, longitudinal magnetic field, vertical velocity in the midphotosphere, and the line-center intensity in Ni I 6768 A were obtained in an active-region plage and the surrounding relatively field-free area near disk center. Spacetime Fourier filtering techniques are used to separate the convective and oscillatory components of the solar atmosphere. The properties of the photosphere are found to differ qualitatively and quantitatively between the plage, where the field is 150 G or more, and its quiet surroundings. The scale of granulation is smaller, the contrast lower, and the temporal evolution slower in the plage than the quiet sun. In the plage, the vertical velocity is reduced in amplitude compared to the quiet sun, and there is little evidence of a granulation pattern, while in the quiet sun the vertical flow pattern is similar in size and shape to the underlying granulation pattern in the continuum.
