Unit 8: Photography

In  the image of the moving car with the yellow Y in the background, I changed the shutter and made it slow so I can catch the movement of the cars. In this image I have your golden ratio and used the subject of the image as the yellow Y  which is positioned towards the right of the image so the viewer can still get a feel of the environment surrounding it. To edit this image I used the healing brush tool in lightroom room to get rid of the lamp posts surrounding the subject, in order to make sure the viewer has its focus on the main subject. I also brushed over the sky and darkened the saturation to make the Y stand out from the background. For this image I’ve cropped from the bottom right corner to the top left corner, meaning I could get rid of the lamppost on the right hand side as well as some of the pavement, to make sure the main focus of the image was the graffiti. Apart from that the only other things I did in this image was lightened the whites and darkened the blacks, so I c

Metadata is data that describes and gives you information about other data. Metadata can be manually by the creator of the products or it can be produced automatically by a type of software on the device. One of the main reasons why people use this is so it is quick to access data when people need it and it is my efficient one trying to find a document, if your files are unorganised. This also allows photographers to add copyright to images to stop people climbing them as their own without paying or asking for permission. The different data within the metadata conclude the author of the work the file size the date and time it was created.  EXIF Data, Exchangeable Image File Format, is the basics of meta data which is  related then stored autom atically by camera whenever you go to take a photo. EXIF date is the technical data such as the equipment that is used to take the photo and the  time the photo was taken. However, IPTC is the more variant of the two because it is its main focus

Using Adobe Lightroom I organised my images based off my most successful images, which were rated 5 stars, and my least favourite, 1 star. These images that are rated a 5 star, I believe represent and meet the client brief 'beautiful doncaster'. This image shows evidence of me rating my images. I then put all my 5 star and some 4 star images into different albums, with their appropriate names so I knew what images are for what and so I can clearly know where my images are saved on the software.   Final Images How I edited this my images: This image shows how I have cropped the image to take out the post, as well as the path at the right of the image. In the images above it shows how I have added a mask to my to the whole image and turned down the shadows and exposure, then I increased the highlights to show the contrast of shades in the image.  In this screenshot it shows that I have used the brush tool to put a mask over everything but the poppies. You can also then see I turn

 

These are the unedited images from all the shoots which I have done. These are the images which i have chosen to edit   This video shows how I made sure the camera setting was set to RAW. To change the aperture I learnt to do so by watching different   YouTube videos on how to access the part of the settings which we can change it.   I then changed the different aperture settings and then found the best   aperture for the different shots, with also adjusting the brightness and creating different   shadows within a shot.  ​ When changing the aperture, it is most called 'opening up' and 'stopping down'. If   you 'opening up'  the aperture it means you are doubling the amount of light that   travels through that specific scene. But if you stop down the aperture you are   halving the amount of light used in the scene.  To change the shutter speed on my camera I also used a YouTube tutorial in how to do so. Changing the shutter speed allows the camera to capture move
