Not much of the depth of fields, the aperture was set of F5.6 makes the picture sharp the leaf on the front and blurry at the background.

Horror Shots

I was asked to do the horror film poster. I decided to take shots in photography studio because its more darker than other locations around the college. The lighting I used was the Studio Flash. The effect of the image is moody and sinister. The camera I used is Nikon, I control it on manual focus to take a picture clear.

Soft Box- Soft Box diffuses the light softer by bouncing off the surface to diffuse the light. When used properly it reduces shadows.

Snoot- The Snoot gives a small amount of light. It allows to be control the direction and radius of light beam. Snoot can isolate a subject when using a flash.

Final Phone Ad

I done some editing in Adobe Lightroom. I use clarity to make the quality clear and sharpen. I boast up the colours by adding more highlights and little bit of contracts. I also add a bit of shadows, the first picture is quite close but next time I will take everything than taking only the phone. Also, the second and third pictures looks better because I took the angle and background.

My Evaluation

This is my final evaluation of Unit 1.

my-evalutation

 

Self-Portrait

self-portrait

I went to the Studio to take pictures of myself. I use Studio Flash,  the camera was set to manual and then take a picture with a white background. After that, I upload the image on Photoshop, before I start editing  I search the image on Google related to my life or something that I am passion of. The image I am passion of is games. I save it on desktop and then upload it selecting Place Embbedded and blend the color to Screen. I prefer in color than black & white because it’s much brighter and suits my personality. I found the tutorial a bit complicated because it was my first time learning new technique, however it is fun blending the color and taking shots of myself. The technique is one of my strengths for photography, also I am capable of using Photoshop tools such as color blending and filter.
