week 1 Photography


Aperture 


When you hit the shutter release button of your camera a hole opens up that allows your cameras image sensor to catch a glimpse of the scene around it. The aperture that you set impacts the size of that hole. The larger the hole the more light that gets in the smaller the hole the less light.
Depth of Field is the amount of your shot that will be in focus.

Large depth of field means that most of your image will be in focus whether it’s close to your camera or far away.

For example:













Larger apertures extend focal depth more of the subject appears in focus.

Small or shallow depth of field means that only part of the image will be in focus and the rest will be fuzzy.














You can see that the leaves are in focus but the background is blurred. Even the leaves which is only a little behind are blurred. This is a very shallow depth of field.


Shutter Speed 


The faster the shutter speed, the shorter the time the image sensor is exposed to light, the slower the shutter speed, the longer the time the image sensor is exposed to light. If you are photographing a subject that is in motion, you will get different effects at different shutter speeds. When taking pictures with a fast shutter speed the moving image will come out 
sharper than it would if you were using a slow shutter speed.














In this picture leaves where thrown as she was spinning around in a circle and was taken with a high shutter speed.













This picture of running water was taken with a slow shutter speed resulting in a blurry photo.




These are other examples of shutter speed

multiplicity

Multiplicity The aim of this exercise was to have one picture with the same person occurring in the same picture. Before we started we were told to be careful as if the lighting dramatically it would show up along with making sure the background didn't change so I had to be careful with cars in the background.  I started out by taking four digital pictures of my classmate posing in different positions each time. Once I did that I used photoshop to edit them making them all the same for example the exposure as some were darker than others. On photoshop i also stacked the pictures and created a mask layer for each one, this allowed me to use the erase tool and remove one of the Alex's and by pressing 'command I' it  removed everything on that layer besides what i rubbed out, that left two Alex's i then continued doing this for each one until all the photos of him were on one picture.

Graphic Design week 4 lesson 1

Image
Lesson 1 Our first lesson in graphics was with Nicki Campbell. She taught  us about typography and how to use lines to help get the best results, there is a ascending line- where tall letters end. There was a descending line- where long letters would touch, and finally the X- height is the actual height of the letters. She then spoke to us about found typography and showed us the alphabet found in nature, we then had to go around our campus and find ABC's made in nature.

3D Analogue and Digital Photography

3D Analogue Photography These photos have been taken as a portrait and when printed out they have been scalped in certain places to revel another photo in the background. as well as having things placed on top such as card or leaves. I believe this allows people to see the subject's true emotions and brings them to the surface.  3D Digital Photography  These photos are 2D images that have been Photoshopped to look 3D. In order to create the effect that water or cows head is comming out of the frame. I enjoy this as it adds to a boring picture of the sea or a cow and makes people intrigued and want to know more.
